    Parenting Patience: Staying Calm When Chaos Hits

    If you've ever said "I'm not going to say it again" and then said it 14 more times, this episode is for YOU! We're talking all things patience. Bedtime meltdowns, sibling drama, Roblox purchases, teenage attitudes, and the deep breaths between them all. Patience doesn't come naturally, but it grows with experience, grace, and a whole lot of prayer. This one will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe rethink your bedtime strategy.

    Discipline That Connects: Finding What Works for Your Child

    In this episode of Raising Disciples, DJ opens up about the real side of disipline -- the part no parenting book prepares you for. We talk about how every child is different, why your first kid becomes the "trial run," and how even good parents often swing too hard or too soft when they're just trying to figure things out. The conversation is all about consistency, not perfection. We explore what to do when traditional discipline works...and what to do when it doesn't. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. But there is a way to discipline with respect, steadiness, and a long-term mindset. If you're raising multiple kids with completely different personalities-- or if you're deep in the learning curve with your very first child -- this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and help you build a home where discipline actually connects instead of divides.

You’ll hear about what inspired Raising Disciples, the importance of nurturing godly confidence in our kids, and how verses like 2 Timothy 1:7 remind us that God has given both parents and children a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
