Previous Episode
As moms, it can be easy to confuse parenting with controlling. We want our children to make wise choices, succeed, and avoid pain. But fear can quickly turn our desire to help into nagging, manipulation, or control. Sarah Stephens joins me to talk about what it looks like to move from controlling our children to mentoring, discipling, guiding, and loving them well.
Sarah shares how God has taught her that our calling is not to control outcomes, but to remain faithful to the process. We talk about seeking wisdom from above, listening for God’s voice, recognizing the difference between conviction and condemnation, and learning to entrust our children and their choices to God.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why control is often motivated by fear
- Learning to focus on the process, not the outcome
- How to know when to speak up—and when to let something go
- The only control we’re actually called to have: self-control
- Seeking God’s wisdom instead of simply collecting more information
- Learning to recognize God’s voice
- How comparison can steal a mom’s peace
- Asking, “Can my child recover from this?”
- Parenting, guiding, and loving our children even when we disagree
- Praying for our children and leaving it at the feet of Jesus
- What it looks like to say, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done”
