Today on the Podcast :

Ever wonder if you’ve already blown it as a parent? Spoiler alert: you haven’t. In this episode, Lynne Jackson drops truth bombs about how God’s grace for YOU is the secret sauce to raising wise kids (hint: it’s not about being perfect). Then Laura Zach shares her own story of going from daily door-slams and zero conversations with her teen daughter to actually laughing together, yes, really laughing. Whether your kids are in diapers or driving cars, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus is your report card, not your kid’s behavior. Parent from grace, not guilt.
• It’s never too late! Laura discovered Connected Families during a family crisis with teens—and everything changed.

Mentioned Today:

• The Table Community – Monthly Giving
• Discipline That Connects With Your Child’s Heart Online Course
• Proverbs 1:1-9
• Laura Zach – Connected Families Parent Coach
