Parenting today looks nothing like it did for the generations before us and pretending it does is why so many parents feel overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure if they’re “doing it right.”

In this real, honest, and deeply practical episode, Joshua and Tiana Baxter share the parenting principles, mindsets and tools that have transformed their home: raising confident, emotionally aware, resilient children while keeping God at the centre of everything they do.

Whether you’re navigating toddlers, teenagers, blended family dynamics, emotional outbursts, or the day-to-day challenges of raising children in a modern world, this conversation gives you grounded wisdom with zero shame and zero overwhelm.

This isn’t an episode about being perfect.
It’s about being present, intentional, and anchored in who God has asked you to be as a parent.

What You’ll Discover Inside This Episode:

• The surprising framework that instantly changes the atmosphere of your home

(and why most parents don’t realise they’re doing the opposite).

• How to communicate with your child in a way that stops resistance and creates cooperation

without yelling, nagging, or repeating yourself.

• A simple emotional tool that transforms how your child handles disappointment, conflict and frustration

and why it works even for strong-willed or sensitive kids.

• The secret behind raising confident, grounded, resilient children

that has nothing to do with perfection  and everything to do with presence.

• The truth about internal dialogue and identity formation

and how your words shape the voice your child carries into adulthood.

• What adventurous play teaches a child about courage, boundaries and self-trust

(and how to introduce it safely and wisely).

• How to parent the child in front of you, not the child you wish they were

and the mindset shift that makes this possible.

• Why loud, playful kids may actually reveal something incredible about the safety of your home environment.

• The one statement modern parents must stop using immediately

if they want to raise children prepared for today’s world.

• The foundational principle that anchors your entire parenting approach

and becomes the most stable part of your child’s identity.

This episode is uplifting, practical, tender, faith-filled and packed with tools that will strengthen not just your parenting  but your whole home.

You’ll walk away feeling clearer, calmer, more confident, and deeply connected to the parent God has called you to be.
