John is back with Lori on this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast for another conversation in the Habits That Shape a Heart series—and this time, they’re getting practical about what to do when your child simply doesn’t listen..What happens when you’ve given a clear instruction, but your child ignores you, responds slowly, does half the job, or pushes back with an attitude? It can be tempting
S2E4 - What Biblical Obedience Looks Like at Home: Teaching Your Child to Listen and Respond Faithfully
What does obedience actually look like in the everyday moments of family life?Last week, we reframed obedience as more than simply getting a child to do what they’re told. Biblical obedience is about helping a child learn to hear what is right and respond to it faithfully. In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, Lori brings that idea into the practical realities of home.You’ll learn why o

S2E2 - Foundations of Every Habit: Thankfulness and Generosity
What if gratitude is shaping far more than manners?Most of us want our children to be thankful and generous.

62. Summer 26, Episode 6 - Building Rhythms that Last
“Habits are not built through intensity. They are built through consistency.”In this final episode of Laying the Foundation: Habits that Shape a Home, we bring the series to a close by asking an important question: How do habits actually last?Many families begin with good intentions, fresh energy, and a desire to be more intentional.

60. Summer 26, Episode 4 - Training the Will: Obedience & Practice
This episode on Christian parenting and biblical parenting discusses the concept that after habits shape the heart, parents must train a child’s will through obedience—not as blind compliance or control, but as faithful response to what is right.Using the common moment of giving a clear instruction and meeting resistance, it frames obedience as formation, citing 1 Samuel 15:22 that obedience is be

58. Summer 26, Episode 2 - The Heart before the Habit
This episode teaches a Christian parenting and biblical parenting principle: children are always becoming as daily habits form, so families should focus on heart formation rather than mere behavior modification. It contrasts reluctant obedience or rehearsed “thank you” and “I’m sorry” with genuine inner change, emphasizing that behavior and formation are not the same.Citing Matthew 6:21, it explai
57. Summer 26, Episode 1 - Habits in the Home and Why They Matter
This episode launches a six-week summer series on “The Foundation Habits That Shape A Home,” focusing on how habits are formed in the heart and take root in family life, emphasizing formation over behavior management in Christian parenting.
