Dear Parents, You're Not Alone - The Ninth Hour: Coming Home Pt. 2

Christian and Elissa continue their conversation on discipline, primarily focusing on its role in reconciliation and the household as a place to practice forgiveness. More than merely making kids say they’re sorry, discipline and reconciliation is a deep way of living out God’s redemptive plan within the four walls of your home. Christian and Elissa want to hear from you!

Dear Parents, You're Not Alone - The Ninth Hour: Coming Home Pt. 1

Finally, the day at work or school or whatever is coming to a close and it’s time to head home. It’s definitely great to be done, but sometimes re-entry can be a bit jarring as we and our kids leave the day behind and return to our relationships. Sometimes this actually calls for a bit of discipline. Christian and Elissa talk about the joy and struggles associated with coming back to one another and how disciplining our children can help us find a way back into the story of God. Parenting is a sacred calling—and a tough one, too! Christian Gonzalez and Elissa Bjeletich Davis come together to talk about the highs and lows and ins and outs of raising kids in the Orthodox Church. If you’re feeling alone in the struggle, join them and find out that we’re all struggling together.
