A Biblical Reset from Modern Parenting Trends for Christian Moms
It usually starts with a quick search. A tough parenting moment, a tired afternoon, or a question you just want answered fast. So you open your phone, type in a question, and suddenly you’re pulled into a world of parenting philosophies that all promise peace, connection, and better outcomes.
But what if some of those ideas are quietly pulling your heart in the wrong direction? In this conversation we gently but honestly explore the dangers of modern parenting trends, using “gentle parenting” as a lens. It’s a reminder that parenting isn’t about mastering a method, but about stewarding a heart: both yours and your child’s.
