  • EP. 141 | RESTORE WHAT YOU BROKE! How to Use Restitution in Discipline | Restore. Repent. Reconcile. Parenting series Pt. 8
    Jun 24 2025

    What happens when your child breaks something, or hurts someone with their actions? In this episode, we talk about one of the most powerful and underused discipline tools: **restitution**.

    Restitution is one of the most powerful ways to teach children accountability and empathy. When something is broken, relationships, trust, or property, your child needs more than an apology. Learn how biblical restitution helps them restore what they’ve harmed and grow in humility.

    In this episode you’ll learn:
    - What restitution means and why it’s biblical
    - When to use restitution as a discipline tool
    - How it helps children develop empathy, humility, and responsibility
    - Real-life examples (broken windows, damaged property, store incidents)
    - Creative ways to apply restitution beyond just punishment

    In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about the PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE and why it’s crucial for Christian couples to **build a legacy that glorifies God**.

    - Understand the **biblical reason God created marriage**
    - Discover the mission behind your marriage
    - Learn how to **leave a godly legacy for your children**
    - Align your relationship with God's vision for covenant marriage

    💍 Marriage is not just about you… it’s about Christ, your children, and the legacy you leave behind.

  • EP. 139 | How Natural Consequences Teach Your Kids Obedience. Parenting Series Pt. 7
    Jun 10 2025

    ✨ Are you constantly rescuing your child from the fallout of their choices?

    In this episode, we talk about one of the most powerful and underused parenting tools: **natural consequences**. As Christian parents, we're not called to control every outcome — we're called to train, disciple, and lovingly allow our children to grow through their mistakes. This is part 7 of our parenting series.

    📖 The Bible tells us in Hebrews 12:6 that “the Lord disciplines those He loves.” So why do we often step in when our kids need to learn a lesson? This episode is your encouragement to parent with **wisdom, love, and biblical truth***

    🎯 What you'll learn:
    - How natural consequences teach kids obedience
    - Why rescuing your child may hurt their spiritual growth
    - Real-life examples (forgotten lunches, failed tests, lost toys, speeding tickets)
    - When to step in, and when to let the lesson speak for itself

  • EP. 134 | Is Spanking Biblical? What Every Christian Parent Needs to Know. Parenting Series Pt. 5
    May 6 2025

    Is spanking still biblical? In a world where discipline is often misunderstood and Christian parents are shamed for correcting their children, this video Michael and Tania bring truth, clarity, and encouragement straight from God’s Word.

    You will learn:

    - What the Bible says about spanking and discipline
    - Why spanking, when done in love, is not abuse (culture mentality)
    - How to raise obedient, godly children in a culture that rejects biblical authority
    - How to discipline with grace, not guilt

    If you’ve ever felt guilty for spanking, pressured to adopt “gentle parenting,” or confused about what’s biblical, this teaching is for you. God's Word is clear: loving correction is part of raising godly children (Proverbs 13:24, Hebrews 12:6-11). Don’t let culture parent your children — stand firm on God’s design.
