Tune in as Bethany offers encouragement for both understanding and handling tantrums in your households. She emphasizes the importance of using all five pillars during these times. Bethany particularly highlights the significance of the second truth, which involves asking for God's wisdom, to better understand your child and bring the Gospel to bear in these challenging moments.
Temper tantrums can be tough, but Bethany delivers uplifting guidance on how to have life-giving conversations that redirect them to the one who can truly help.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Today Bethany welcomes listeners into a conversation that promises to resonate deeply with every parent. Bethany is thrilled to have Kristen Hallinan join her. They explore what it means to rewrite the narrative of our family legacies.
Kristen begins by sharing her personal journey through a childhood marked by chaos, dysfunction, and deep-seated trauma. It's a story many of us can relate to, either in our own experiences or those close to us. But Kristen's story isn't just about pain; it's about transformation and hope.
Kristen reflects on her own generational cycle of hurt. Her answer lies in the profound truth that God desires to use each of us, despite our wounds. He doesn't expect us to carry our burdens alone but invites us to draw closer to him as we navigate our healing journey.
Kristen's journey also highlights the vital role of prayer in parenting. She encourages us to turn to God in moments of triggering, asking for wisdom and strength to parent our children as unique individuals, exactly as they were created to be.
Kristen encourages us to become changers of our family legacies. It's a call to embrace healing, and to parent with intentionality and love. It's a reminder that through God's grace, we have the power to rewrite the stories of our past and shape a brighter future for generations to come.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As Bethany wraps up her inspiring series, we are reminded of the profound importance of standing in God’s word. We pray that our children learn to walk closely with God, developing a love for Jesus that surpasses our own. 
We want them to experience a passion for Him that fills their hearts and guides their lives. We want our children to not just know about God, but to truly love him. This love begins with a deep appreciation for the word of God. To truly stand in God’s word, we must immerse ourselves in the scriptures, seeing them for what they truly are: a reflection of who God is.
Psalm 119:97-100 reminds us that the word of God is a source of wisdom, insight, and understanding. As we pray for our children, let us pray that they too will learn to love the word of God.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Anxiety often feels overwhelming, especially for our children. We want them to experience and know God’s peace, a peace that guards their minds and hearts against the anxiety that threatens to overwhelm them.
 
Bethany’s prayer today is rooted in a deep concern for the well-being of our children. We recognize the pressures they face daily—from academic stress to social media, and the uncertainties of the future. These burdens can be heavy, but we believe that through prayer, we can help them find peace.
John 14:27 offers us a beautiful promise to hold onto. We pray that these scriptural truths become a source of protection for our children. We pray that in moments of fear and anxiety, they will turn to God.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As a mother, one of my greatest desires is for my children to become prayer warriors, deeply rooted in their faith and confident in seeking God's wisdom and guidance. 
 
Today, Bethany roots listeners in Hebrews 4:15-16, a reminder of the compassion we have from Jesus, who invites us to approach the throne of grace with confidence. We pray that our children will grow to love and depend on God, becoming strong and courageous prayer warriors.
 
We pray that they will not only understand but also embrace the invitation from the gospel. Together we ask for discernment for them, that they may always seek God's wisdom and guidance in every aspect of their lives.
