In this episode, Steve Wood explores a biblically grounded approach to parenting through the lens of Galatians and Philemon. Drawing parallels between God’s method of guiding His people and raising children, Steve introduces a two-step parenting model: beginning with external rules and boundaries, but ultimately aiming for an internal transformation led by the Holy Spirit.
Steve encourages parents to move beyond legalism, and instead foster environments where their children can encounter and be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Whether you’re a parent seeking wisdom or simply interested in how Scripture informs family life, this episode offers practical insight and spiritual encouragement.
