Teaching the Faith at Home

Habits of Discipline Ep. 36 Teaching the Faith at Home

In this episode of Teaching the Faith at Home, Matt and Andrew dive into Chapter 3 of the Habits study to explore discipline and how we can shift from authoritarian control to formative discipleship. Many of us approach discipline out of instinct—reacting based on instincts that are based on serving selfish wants and needs. We discuss the vital importance of the developing loving authority, using a "Habit of the Pause," the necessity of building a foundation of prayer and connection, and why reconciliation (not just compliance) is the ultimate goal of every correction. If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of frustration and shouting, this episode offers a practical, Gospel-centered blueprint to move from conflict to restoration.
