Ep. 94 1 Grace-Filled Homes: Discipleship That Reflects God’s Love

“If you’ve ever snapped at your kids, felt overwhelmed, or wondered if you’re doing this discipleship thing right, this one’s for you.”

In this debut episode, Rene and Rebekah unpack what it means to create grace-filled homes, homes where discipleship happens through love, not lectures… through compassion, not control.

You’ll learn:
💛 What biblical love actually looks like in parenting
🛑 Why control can’t produce true discipleship—but compassion can
🏡 How to reflect God’s love in your discipline, words, and everyday moments
🛠️ Simple, practical ways to make your home a safe space for spiritual growth

🗝️ Key Scriptures:

– 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
– Psalm 103:13
– Ephesians 4:32
– 1 John 4:19
– Romans 5:8

💬 Practical Takeaways:

• Slow your response—pray before reacting

• Speak more encouragement than correction

• Let failure be a doorway to grace, not shame

• Say “I’m sorry” when you mess up—model humility
