    Dear Parents, You're Not Alone - The Ninth Hour: Coming Home Pt. 2

    Christian and Elissa continue their conversation on discipline, primarily focusing on its role in reconciliation and the household as a place to practice forgiveness. More than merely making kids say they’re sorry, discipline and reconciliation is a deep way of living out God’s redemptive plan within the four walls of your home.

    Dear Parents, You're Not Alone - The Ninth Hour: Coming Home Pt. 1

    Finally, the day at work or school or whatever is coming to a close and it’s time to head home. It’s definitely great to be done, but sometimes re-entry can be a bit jarring as we and our kids leave the day behind and return to our relationships. Sometimes this actually calls for a bit of discipline. Christian and Elissa talk about the joy and struggles associated with coming back to one another and how disciplining our children can help us find a way back into the story of God.
