Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.
In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the single greatest thing to being a better parent. Part of it may have to do with how we greet one another coming in the door, a conversation you don’t want to miss! Through the lens of Christi’s own healing journey, she shares in-depth about what makes her a better mom and what she now sees as the goal of parenting.
Some highlights include:
(3:38) What we can learn (and not learn) by how our dogs greet us as we come through the door
(10:45) Why teachability matters, especially when looking for a spouse
(13:28) The art of giving an appropriate apology
(16:17) Christi discusses what she found to be the single greatest thing to be a better mom
(20:18) Christi discusses how she views time with the Lord when it's all hands-on deck with the kids
(21:30) Fighting the religious spirit
(22:35) Practical ways to get time with God in the mundane moments of the day
(28:41) Conversation related to therapy, coaching, and spiritual direction
(30:03) Why does it feel like everyone else talks about Jesus but I don't feel like He's with me?
(31:53) What Christi knows now that she wishes she knew when she first became a mom
