In episode 36 we discussed how toddler obedience is often the viewed as the holy grail of parenting. Many parents aren't aware of this, but not all obedience is the same and its quality largely depends on the way you go about training it. In this episode we'll examine the two errant child training paths parents often take and how that, despite our best intentions, they actually lead to disobedience, and worst of all, idolatry.

If someone was to ask you what your number one job is as your toddler's mother or father, aside from keeping them alive (lol), what would your answer be? That's what this episode attempts to answer and, spoiler alert, it has little to nothing to do with teaching them to obey.

The world around us and everything in it seems to be crumbling. We're not sure what's on the horizon but it doesn't look friendly. Reports of economic distress and looming war abound and that's on top of the duress each home is directly experiencing. We ask ourselves, "What can I do about it? What difference could I and my insignificant home make in the face of such powerful forces?" This episode attempts to answer that question and to remind you that your home, serving Christ within your humble domain, is far more powerful, far more important, than you realize.
