Raising Hearts for Christ: Practical Biblical Parenting Strategies

Episode 9 - Coaching Your Child with the Help of the Holy Spirit

In our last episode, we explored the role of teaching and prayer in parenting—how heart-based instruction, paired with prayer, invites God to work deeply in our children’s lives. But what happens after we’ve taught and prayed? How do we help our children walk it out in real life? That’s where coaching comes in. In this episode of Raising Hearts for Christ, we’re diving into how the Holy Spirit models what it means to be a parent-coach—gentle, present, and focused on growth. Instead of defaulting to correction, we’ll explore how to come alongside our children with the same grace God offers us. In this episode, you’ll discover: ✅ What it means to parent like the Holy Spirit coaches ✅ How a coaching mindset builds connection instead of resistance ✅ A powerful phrase you can use in tense moments ✅ A reflection question to help you parent with intention this week If you’re tired of repeating yourself and ready to shift from controlling to coaching—with the Holy Spirit as your guide—this episode is for you!  🎧 Tune in now! 🌟 Join the Conversation! 👉 Connect with like-minded Christian parents in my Facebook group: Christian Parenting: Tips for Faith and Family Life [https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianparentingtips] 🎁 Free Parenting Guide!

Episode 8 - Teaching & Prayer

In our last episode, we explored the power of honor—how teaching our children to go beyond obedience and actively contribute to family life transforms our homes. But what happens when children still struggle with self-control, patience, or kindness? How do we equip them with the tools to succeed rather than just telling them what to do? In my latest episode of Raising Hearts for Christ, we’re diving into the vital connection between teaching and prayer—because real heart change happens when we give our kids practical tools AND trust God to do the deeper work. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why long lectures don’t work—and what to do instead ✅ A simple tool (the T-Chart!) that helps kids take ownership of their growth ✅ How perseverance builds godly character (Romans 5:3-4) ✅ The power of prayer in shaping your child’s heart If you’ve ever felt frustrated repeating the same instructions over and over, this episode will give you practical steps to guide your child with grace and strategy—while leaning on God’s strength, not just your own. 💛 🎧 Tune in now! 🌟 Join the Conversation! 👉 Connect with like-minded Christian parents in my Facebook group: Christian Parenting: Tips for Faith and Family Life [https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianparentingtips] 🎁 Free Parenting Guide!
