Giveaway closes: Saturday, June 20, 2026 Winner announced: Monday, June 22, 2026 In this episode of The Dwelling Place Podcast, Stephanie Hickox continues through the book of Proverbs, exploring chapters 25–29 and uncovering timeless wisdom for Christian moms seeking to raise children with grace, truth, and biblical conviction. These chapters, compiled during the reign of King Hezekiah, address everything from humility, self-control, gossip, conflict resolution, and friendship to one of the most debated topics in Christian parenting: biblical discipline. Stephanie carefully walks through these proverbs, reminding listeners that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom and that God's design for parenting is never rooted in anger, control, or harshness—but in loving correction that guides children toward righteousness. Whether you're navigating sibling conflict, teaching your children self-control, protecting your family in a digital world, or seeking wisdom for discipline, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement grounded in God's Word. In This EpisodeProverbs 25–29 Bible studyBiblical parenting and disciplineThe fear of the Lord as the foundation of wisdomWhy humility matters in a culture of self-promotionTeaching children self-controlGossip, conflict, and guarding our wordsBiblical conflict resolutionWise correction versus harsh condemnationGrace-filled discipline for Christian familiesDigital safety and knowing the condition of your flockTraining children to walk in wisdomUsing Scripture to disciple your kids Key Scriptures DiscussedHumility & CharacterProverbs 25:6–7 “Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence... For it is better to be told, ‘Come up here,’ than to be put lower.”Proverbs 27:2 “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.”Wise Words & Conflict ResolutionProverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”Proverbs 25:9 “Argue your case with your neighbor himself, and do not reveal another's secret.”Proverbs 26:20 “For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.”Proverbs 29:11 “A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.”Self-Control & WisdomProverbs 25:28 “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”Proverbs 27:12 “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”Proverbs 28:13 “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”Parenting & DisciplineProverbs 27:23 “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”Proverbs 29:15 “The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.”Proverbs 29:17 “Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.”2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”Key TakeawaysGodly parenting begins with our own submission to the Lord.Wisdom often looks very different from modern cultural advice.Self-control protects us from spiritual vulnerability.Correction is most effective when it is rooted in love and relationship.Children need both boundaries and grace.Scripture provides the foundation for discipleship and correction.Parents are called to know the condition of their children's hearts, not merely manage their behavior.The goal of discipline is restoration, growth, and wisdom—not punishment for its own sake. For Christian MomsIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by parenting decisions, discouraged by a child's struggle, or uncertain how to balance grace and correction, this episode offers hope and biblical perspective. God has not called moms to parent perfectly. He has called us to parent dependently. As we seek His wisdom through Scripture, He equips us to lovingly guide our children, establish healthy boundaries, and point them continually to the grace of Jesus Christ. The goal is not raising rule-followers but raising children who learn to love and revere the Lord.
