Ep. 322: A Pep Talk When You Feel Like a Bad Parent

Let's Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage, Parenting, and Discipleship

We all have those days when we feel like we are a terrible parent. Sometimes it’s because we blow a moment or decision. Other times it's because we compare ourselves to the best parts of other people’s lives. And sometimes it’s because we are fooled into thinking the false presentation of our friends on social media is true.

Whatever your reason for being down about your parenting, listen to Jay’s pep talk as he encourages you to:

• Give yourself the benefit of the doubt

• Give your kids the benefit of the doubt

• Get over yourself

• Get better

Finally, be encouraged by Jay’s reminder from scripture that God uses suffering and brokenness to produce character, and that ALL things work together for the glory of God and the good of His children!

Quote for Social Media Graphic:

We never want trial or tragedy or broken hearts to come into our kids’ lives. But in reality, the people we admire and want to be most like have walked through deep valleys.
