Does it seem possible to draw our kids away from entitlement and toward the bigger “Yes” of God’s blessing for them and other people in their lives? Well, get excited because Jim and Lynne Jackson of Connected Families are back with parenting wisdom to address entitlement in our kids AND in ourselves.
We as parents feel entitled to grateful, hard working kids, and when we don’t get them an we have ungrateful, resistant-to-chores kids we get pretty upset. That shows that we feel entitled to how things go my way in the home. Instead of saying, ‘Oh! Wow we have some challenges here that I can partner with Jesus and really dive into.’
What we chat about:- Jim and Lynne Jackson introduce Connected Families and their parenting framework
- The root of entitled behavior in our kids and the beliefs that back it up
- Entitlement is the belief that I deserve something because I’m more important than someone else
- Entitlement is about our sin nature and we’re all born into that
- As believers we need to call out entitlement in our lives and choose to put God first
- We as parents feel entitled to grateful, hard-working kids
- The attitude we bring into parenting and our beliefs are reflected onto our kids
- Helping our kids learn to work hard and celebrate accomplishments give them a dopamine burst in their brains that helps “rewire” them to want to work hard again
- Letting go of the places we are coddling our kids by not expecting them to serve and do hard things
- The “Bigger Yes” of God’s blessing for your kids and other people
- Take it slow and consider your kid’s perspective as you make changes toward growing our kids out of entitlement
- Determining the rights, privileges and responsibilities of your family
- When our kids see the beliefs we fight for and see the joy we experience as we follow God and it inclines them to want that too

Discipline. It’s such an important part of parenting and so hard. But, we don’t have to be alone on the journey. Join me as I sit down with two moms of littles from my church, Meredith and Hailey. We chat about the common struggles and questions that come up in disciplining young kids.
Our kids) have the opportunity to be saved by grace through faith just like we were, not by works and not by good parenting. But, it’s the consistency of the love and the safety. And when you have that and they do confess faith then you have the Holy Spirit on your side to do the convicting.
What we chat about:- Discipline can be a struggle, but we’re not alone in this journey
- Ask yourself, “Will it matter in 10 years?”
- Focusing on making our children feel safe
- The child that’s annoying you the most, you should hug the most even though it’s the opposite of your instinct
- A lot of the anger that comes up in us as moms comes from unresolved issues in us, not just our kids’ behavior
- Mommy Time, getting intentional focused time with each child
- During the 0-5 ages, kids change so much it’s difficult to keep up with the huge developmental changes they are undergoing
- Leaning into the Holy Spirit when we need to make a decision in parenting to avoid letting fear and insecurity win
- It’s hard to know what the realistic expectations are for obedience at different ages
- Don’t sabotage the good in pursuit of the great
- Disciplining in public requires different tools, take steps to set your kids up to win
- Your kids will be saved by grace through faith and not through perfect parenting

The Bible tells of healings, miracles and the power of the Holy Spirit, but God’s power didn’t stop after the New Testament. Today’s guest Courtney Smallbone shares her personal story of God’s power in the hardest circumstances imaginable.
Supernatural healing is for today. Courtney’s story of finding freedom from anxiety and miraculous healing for her infant son is a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness.
As moms we have a lot of fear and anxiety. We carry a lot. We have these little people that we’re in charge of and discipling. It gets exhausting and hard. I felt like the Lord just filled me with himself. He has given me not the spirit of fear, but love and power and a sound mind. I needed a sound mind when I was dealing with anxiety. He has given us power through his Holy Spirit and we can walk that out as moms in everyday life.
