Proverbs 29:17 says, "Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul." We don't think there is a good parent anywhere who enjoys disciplining their children, but the fruit of discipline is peace and righteousness. Children who are lovingly disciplined are so much more likely to grow up to be respectful and honorable. What are some practical and effective methods of discipline? What are some ineffective parenting styles?

***PLEASE NOTE*** It is difficult to offer advice on such a personal subject that can be so polarizing. We both fully know - and readily admit - that our parenting and discipline decisions were not always right, and we are grateful for the grace that God so freely offers us. These suggestions do not come from pride in anything we did, but from experience looking back at some challenging years.

We hope this will be helpful for those who are going through this period of life - parents and even grandparents. Let us know what you think and what you have found to be effective.

When you show up at a gathering, are you self-conscious, thinking that everyone is staring at you or being critical about what you're wearing? After you leave, do you overthink the things you said? If so, the "invisible guest theory" will help you re-think those suppositions (and probably provide some relief for you!)Join us to see what this theory is all about, and let us know what you think! We'd love to hear your comments!#christianwomen #christianwomenpodcast #bible #thinkingspiritually #overthinking #kathypollard #carlamoore

This week it's Kathy's turn to answer some deeper questions. We'd love for you to join us to hear her answers and give us your own answers to these questions. Here's a hint - the title is a nod to Kathy's answer to the question, "how would you like for your grandchildren to remember you?"
