    Aim True: Keeping the Goal in Mind

    ☕ Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting Episode 3 — Aim True: Keeping the Goal in Mind Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting is a Christian parenting podcast offering Scripture-rooted encouragement for raising children with faith and purpose. In this episode, “Aim True,” Christie and Cody focus on keeping the end goal in mind as parents — not cultural success or good behavior, but aiming our children toward Christ. Rooted in Psalm 127:4–5, this conversation reminds us that children are not trophies to display or projects to perfect — they are arrows, shaped intentionally and released with purpose. Parenting isn’t about managing behavior in the moment; it’s about forming hearts for eternity. Through a real-life parenting moment that unfolds on a sidewalk outside a hotel, this episode explores how the gospel shapes the way we talk to our kids about identity, sin, grace, and unconditional love. When parenting moments feel messy, inconvenient, or public, God often meets us there with clarity and purpose. In this episode, we discuss: What it means to “aim true” in Christian parentingWhy the target is Christ — not cultural achievement or self-esteemTeaching children their identity before correcting behaviorBalancing inherent worth as God’s image-bearers with the need for redemptionUsing real-life parenting moments to disciple toward the gospelHow speaking the target out loud helps keep parenting focusedThis episode is for parents who want biblical truth on parenting, gospel-centered discipleship, and encouragement for raising children to know and love Jesus in a confusing and distracted world. ☕ Coffee Break is designed to be short, thoughtful, and rooted in Scripture — perfect for a quiet moment with your morning coffee or a pause in the middle of a chaotic day.
