OQ - First Time Obedience

The Family Discipleship Podcast

Show Notes

Should you expect your kids to obey the first time you ask?

Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk about first-time obedience, why it can bring greater peace to your home, and how parents can train their kids toward obedience without making good behavior the ultimate goal.

Obedience isn't just about raising well-behaved kids. It's about helping our children learn to lay down their own will, trust loving authority, and ultimately understand what it means to joyfully obey God.
