When Obedience Isn’t The Whole Answer for the Christian Parent

What happens when the parenting approach you were told God requires doesn’t match the child God gave you? 

It’s a question a lot of Christian parents inwardly carry, and it’s named out loud in this episode.  Host Stacy Bellward sits down with Certified Parent Coaches Katie Johnson and Lyssa Stoyko to walk through the Connected Families Framework™ layer by layer. You’ll hear one family’s story of real change, plus two role-play scenarios that show what a different response sounds like in an ordinary moment at home. 

Stay to the end. This episode closes with a tribute to Jim and Lynne Jackson as they step into their new roles as Founders Emeritus.

Key Takeaways:

• Why obedience-first parenting leaves some families stuck, and where to go from there
• What’s happening underneath your child’s anger, and how to respond to it
• What the same hard moment sounds like before and after the Framework, through two role-plays
• Practical tools from the Coach and Correct levels of the Connected Families Framework
