"Self-discipline leads to a self-reliant, self-sufficient life." BUT, is that really what we want for our children? We challenge that idea in this episode. We believe it would be better to have them be "God-disciplined so they will be God-reliant, and live a God-sufficient life." As we develop humility, submission, and discipline in our children we are developing an internal reliance on God and His moral character which ultimately overshadows any other authority. As Christians, it's important we seek God's boundaries for our behavior. We are never just dealing with our children's words and actions. We are also dealing with their heart which ultimately controls their behavior. It is important that as parents we remember to correct in a way that speaks to their heart issue, not just their words or actions.
