Last week we talked about instilling character in our children, but what is the correlation between character and obedience? Why is it more important to focus on developing character in our kids rather than obedience? We are so blessed to have Dr. Kathy Koch back for her second episode on the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Kathy shares more from her new book, Parent Differently: Raise Kids with Biblical Character That Changes Culture, about how we can instill obedience in our children through developing their character. She describes how creating character in children leads to them becoming obedient as well. Kathy discusses why focusing on building character over obedience leads to a greater development in children as a whole, and often will allow them to be more obedient as a result. Who is Kathy Koch?

On this week's episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast, I am so excited to welcome back Author Connie Albers, as she talks about finding growth and grace in parenting. Connie shares that as parents, we have the freedom to pivot parenting techniques as our children walk through different seasons of life. Pivoting isn't a sign of being a bad parent, but instead allows us to focus specifically on where our child is in their walk through life and maximize their growth in love and grace. Connie also explains that there is no "one size fits all" to parenting and every child is uniquely created in the image of God. Therefore, parents have to learn to embrace the unique growth of their children and find ways to walk alongside them as they grow into the man or woman that God created them to be. Who is Connie Albers? Connie Albers has spent much of her adult life as a homeschool mom to five and mompreneur with an outreach and ministry to parents through her speaking and various leadership roles. Balancing her roles as a wife, speaker, homeschooler, consultant, and active volunteer, she has learned to discover resilience and joy within the stop and go of life. She is a respected leader, social media enthusiast, and trusted mom who understands the challenges of balancing the demands of life, work and homeschool.  More recently, Connie is equipping parents with her book Parenting beyond the Rules by NavPress, which outlines positive approaches to parenting today’s teenagers. Her enthusiasm for helping others navigate social media led to her taking a post at Social Media Marketing World. Connie’s mission is to equip moms to live their life with confidence and joy. Things We Talk About in this Episode: Why is there freedom in pivoting in parenting and how should we use pivoting in parenting? How do we build a love of scripture in our childrens' lives and why is that important?  Why do we need to recognize that we won't always get things right as parents and how can we be the best parent possible for our kids?

We all know that parenting a child doesn't stop when they hit age 18, but for some of us, we can struggle to connect with that child as the dynamic changes into early adulthood. So what can we do to unlock the power of family transformation as our child steps into adulthood? That's why I am so excited to welcome bestselling author and parenting expert Jim Burns to this episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Jim shares his testimony as a first generation Christian, growing up in a family with a father who was an alcoholic, and making a generational shift with his wife as they started their family. Jim then talks about his book, Doing Life with Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out, and how parents can utilize different methods and resources to welcome their children into adulthood as they step into who God is calling them to be. He shares examples from parents he has spoken to throughout the years and offers positive, practical advice to help parents love their adult children fully without being overbearing or distant. Who is Jim Burns? Jim Burns is the president of HomeWord and the executive director of the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific University. He is a popular public speaker and writer who has almost two million resources in print in 20 languages. He primarily addresses the topics of building strong marriages, encouraging parents and empowering kids and healthy leaders. Jim’s books include Confident Parenting, The Purity Code, and Creating an Intimate Marriage. He and his wife, Cathy, reside in Southern California and have three grown daughters and two grandchildren. Things We Talk About in this Episode: Is it okay to give advice to my grown child? What has to change in our relationship as a parent to give our children advice without it seeming unsolicited? What do you do when your children just don't seem to be maturing into who they are called to be as adults? What's the difference between enabling my child and helping them?

The journey of walking along side a child with an addiction looks different for every parent.

I've talked before on this podcast about just how powerful prayer is when we learn to pray to God. Prayer not only changes things in our lives, but it changes us on a spiritual level. So how do we pray to God properly? I'm so excited to have Author Karen Moore on this episode to share with us the 4 keys on how to pray to God. She talks about how to use her acronym, P.R.A.Y, as a tool for deep, meaningful prayer with God and why it is so important to have a relationship where we communicate with God through prayer. Karen then explains how we can use prayer to begin seeing the big picture that God has for our lives and that He is constantly working in our lives so that all we do can glorify Him. Who is Karen Moore? Karen Moore is an award-winning author of over one hundred inspirational and devotional books covering a wide range of topics.

This week, I had the priviledge of being interviewed by The 700 Club on The Christian Broadcasting Network. I spoke about how your child can fall into the struggles of rebellion and addiction, why it seems like children are becoming rebellious at a younger and younger age, and how creating a proper battle plan can help win back your prodigal. I explain how to partner parents with God. You can safely hand over control of your children to God. Realizing that our children are God's creation and they belong to Him, we can release them into God’s care. By giving God full ownership of our prodigals and continuing in a partnership as parents, we are putting our assured victory directly in God’s hands. Things We Talk About in this Episode: How do we fight against the sin that is holding our child back without going to war with our child themselves? Why is it so important that you as a parent pray for your child? How can we learn to pray properly for our children in the midst of their battles? What is the best battle plan we can create as parents to help fight for our prodigals? How can The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal help?

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we can use as Christians. However, sometimes it can seem like God isn't quite answering prayers in the ways we expect. Other times we ask "When will God answer my prayers?" That is why I am so excited to have Lisa Olsteen Comes as my guest on today's episode of The Warfare Parenting Podcast. Lisa shares her stories of raising her children and praying over them as they grew up. She also explains how God's timing for blessings can be different than our own timing and answers the question "When can I get an answer from God?"  Lisa also endorses the power of my new book, The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal, and how it can be a vital tool for parents raising their children, especially if they are in the midst of being a prodigal.

Through all of her challenges and experiences, Lisa has become known as a respected ministry leader and Bible teacher. Lisa’s passion for God’s Word and love for people radiate in her practical, yet insightful messages. Lisa is a graduate of Oral Roberts University.

When it comes to making our adult children listen to us and helping them step into who God created them to be, we have to recognize we are fighting a spiritual war for our child.
