Why don't we go to God in our sin? Or our kids come to us in their sin? Listen in to this discussion that moves from the lies we believe about God and his promises to the self-talk we need to believe better and live free. Notice, it's believing better, not behaving better because the truth is our sin struggle is ongoing. Knowing this as parents should change our narrative and response to our kids in their sin.
