What Is Christian Discipline

Today on the Podcast:

In today’s mini-episode, Jim Jackson is filling in for Stacy and explores a powerful truth: you can only give grace to your kids if you’ve first received it yourself. He invites parents to imagine Jesus offering lavish mercy toward themselves instead of harsh condemnation. Jim reminds parents that the goal isn’t just behavior modification—it’s gentle restoration that transforms homes into places where grace flows freely, mistakes become opportunities for connection, and children experience God’s unconditional love through their parents.

Key Takeaways:

  • Extending grace to our children comes after we first receive God’s lavish grace for us
  • Don’t let your approval of your children depend only on their behavior
  • Pausing to be sure you’re walking in the fruit of the Spirit is helpful before correction
