Parenting is one of the greatest callings(and one of the greatest learning opportunities) of a marriage. In this unscripted conversation, Austin and Rachel talk about what it looks like to parent consciously, as a team. Second only to their personal relationship with God and their marriage, Austin and Rachel see parenting as one of their highest callings as Christians. They believe the Lord has entrusted them with souls to steward, which is an honor and responsibility far too great to approach by simply “winging it.” In this episode you will learn some of Austin and Rachel's conscious parenting methods, rooted in scripture, and backed by real data, and the ways discipline and connection work hand in hand. They also highlight Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey.
