In this live Q&A from the Albany tour stop, Danny and Brittney answer two deeply relatable questions: how to engage with controlling family members and how to overcome the crushing weight of mom guilt. With humor, honesty, and wisdom, they share practical tools for setting healthy boundaries, taking ownership of your emotions, and remembering your identity in Christ—especially in the high-stakes relationships of family. Whether you’re navigating toxic dynamics or second-guessing your parenting, this episode will leave you grounded, encouraged, and empowered.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why no one can control you without your permission.
How to communicate from a place of self-control and clarity.
What makes a powerful person and how to become one.
The difference between toxic shame and healthy conviction.
Why you were chosen to be your child’s parent—flaws and all.
Key Takeaways:
You are a powerful person: You have the God-given ability to control yourself and choose how you respond in every situation.
Control is an illusion: Others may use fear or manipulation, but you still get to choose how you show up.
Mom guilt is not from God: You were chosen to parent your children, and He equips you for every season—even the messy ones.
Healthy shame builds connection: When handled well, correction and conviction strengthen relationships and model growth.
Lead with love and truth: In parenting and family dynamics, your confidence, honesty, and humility create a culture of safety and growth.
