Parents, are you tired of constantly putting out fires and reacting in the moment? What if there’s a better way to raise kids—one that shapes their hearts, builds character, and points them to God from the inside out?

In this episode, Abbey Wedgeworth, author of the Training Young Hearts series as well as her upcoming release “Help! I’m Ruining My Kids,” joins us to unpack practical, intentional habits that help parents guide their children before chaos erupts.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why reactive parenting keeps you exhausted and frustrated
• How small, consistent habits can shape your child’s heart for life
• Practical “training refrains” you can start using today
• Stories from real-life parenting wins and funny surprises
• Scripture-based strategies for raising kids without guilt or perfectionism
• How to cultivate character and point your kids to Jesus every day

Plus: Fun moments with Abbey, including our 2 Truths and a Lie game and a lightning round of parenting questions to inspire laughter, reflection, and encouragement.

Takeaway: You’re not just raising kids—you’re raising hearts for God. Start small, stay consistent, and watch Him work in the everyday moments.

Scripture Inspiration: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
