Are Your Kids Obeying You, or Are They Surviving You?

If our kids do what we want because they're afraid of us, are they actually obeying us, or are they surviving us?

The goal of obedience leads to justified harshness, and our methods of parenting end up looking like anger, fear, threats, and intimidation.

In this episode, Brian and Katie Hess discuss Jesus' value for obedience and His method for leading us there, which is through love and connection.
