So now is our Q&A session. I have ten questions here, and we'll start with them, then we’ll open it up after that. I picked these questions, and I’m just going to read them and step aside and let Dr. Street and Janie answer. We have some great questions here, some very specific. So, let’s get started.

Question 1:

As a mom with young children, how do you prioritize time with the Lord when uninterrupted blocks of quiet are hard to accomplish?

Question 2:

What are some practical ways to avoid running on empty, especially as we train and disciple our children?

Question 3:

What does it mean to give grace to your children, and how might we do this practically without allowing them to remain in disobedience?

Question 4:

Paul exhorts fathers in Colossians 3:21 not to provoke their children to anger. How might fathers do this knowingly or unknowingly, and how can we avoid this?

Question 5:

Our nine-year-old doesn’t deal with stress well. He gets easily frustrated and ends up in angry tears. Do you have any practical advice?

Question 6:

How do we address daring behavior that isn’t necessarily sinful, like jumping from trees to trampolines or throwing objects?

Question 7:

How much time should I allow my children to watch TV each day?

Question 8:

Why are words like “weary” and “overwhelmed” often used to describe motherhood? How can we prevent these feelings and replace them with joy?

Question 9:

How do you enforce consequences for disobedience, and should you expect children to obey “because I said so”?

Question 10:

What are practical ways to teach children to think critically about the media they consume?
