The Single Greatest Thing to Being a Better Parent [On Becoming Great Parents 3 of 5]

Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the single greatest thing to being a better parent. Part of it may have to do with how we greet one another coming in the door, a conversation you don’t want to miss! Through the lens of Christi’s own healing journey, she shares in-depth about what makes her a better mom and what she now sees as the goal of parenting.  

Some highlights include: 

• The single greatest thing that’s made Christi a better mom
• What the primary goal of parenting really is (and it’s not what you think)
• Why less is more when it comes to parenting
