Mama, have you ever believed the lie that your child’s behavior defines you? Or felt like you’re the only one struggling while everyone else has it all together? In this episode, Paige exposes four common lies moms face in parenting—lies that steal our joy and keep us stuck in shame and comparison.
We’ll talk about the difference between discipline and discipleship, control and surrender, ownership and stewardship. God didn’t call us to be perfect—He called us to be faithful. Let’s tear down these lies and walk in freedom as the moms He created us to be.
Ready to breathe again? Let’s go there together.
Paige’s Takeaways
- Lie #1: Our kids’ behavior directly reflects us as their parents.
- We don’t have to teach kids what not to do because of our sin nature, but instead, we need to teach them what to do. This is discipleship.
- Lie #2: Everyone else has it all together, I am the only one who struggles.
- Social media does not show what is real.
- But Jesus tells us to be counter-cultural and radical. We know we are sinners and will struggle, but He is faithful and just.
- We have to surrender to authenticity and model how we go through struggles for our kids.
- Lie #3: Micromanaging will produce results.
- We tend to discipline our children more than disciple.
- Rules and structure are love.
- Parents, are we praying before disciplining?
- Surrender control to the Lord.
- Lie #4: Our children belong to us.
- There is a difference between responsibility and ownership.
- God gives our kids to us so we can raise them up and they can declare His glory.
- We have to surrender ownership - not only of our children but of our own lives.
- We are not alone in our parenting. God says, ‘Come to me.’
