Parenting That Sticks Breakout Sessions

The 3 Stages of Parenting

Parenting is a journey and every stage of being a parent requires a change in approach. In the Parenting That Sticks Podcast, we take a look at the three stages of parenting and provide some strategies for parents to leverage each stage to best shepherd and disciple their kids.

Navigating Culture as Parents

Biblical Approaches to Discipline

“I wish I knew then, what I know now” – Hindsight is always 20/20. In this audio cast, a guest panel of parents dialogue on what they have learned over their years of parenting.


Knowing your child Pastor Matt Willmington shares on how knowing your child and the stages of parenting can mean the difference in discipline that sticks and discipline that doesn’t. In this audio cast, you will be challenged to keep in mind that discipline requires wisdom and foresight, it’s more than behavior, it’s about a destination.


Living with the Future in View Dr. Randy Stinson, Author, Provost SBTS, speaks on the relationship between discipline and the shaping of your child’s future. Dr. Stinson also talks practically on approaches to disciplining young children and gives wisdom on understanding the development of boys.

Parenting in the Digital Age

Today’s always online culture presents parents a unique challenge that they never faced before. In this ParentingthatSticks, we take a practical look at how families can be safe, balanced, and connected in today’s media driven culture.

Biblical Worldview of Parenting

Parenting is a most precious gift. In fact, the Bible teaches that being a parent, means that parents have a stewardship opportunity before God. In this ParentingthatSticks, we challenge ourselves to parent intentionally knowing that the goal is seeing our children’s children be followers of Jesus. Meet the Pillai’s.  Ajay and Heather have five children, who are all ten and under.  In this video, they discuss both the challenges and joys that come with parenting preschool and elementary aged children and offer suggestions on how you can be intentional in influencing your kids’ spiritual development. Meet the Moore’s.  Brandon and Christina have three teenage children.  In this video, they offer insight on how to coach your students through the unique decisions and issues they face as teenagers and how to maintain influence as your kids grow up and become more independent. Meet Michael Harsch.  As first generation Christians, Michael’s parents often struggled in their marriage and parenting, but, slowly, the grace of God transformed their lives and they became more intentional in leading their home spiritually. Be encouraged as he recounts the incredible work of restoration he has witnessed in his parents’ lives.
Meet Laura Buschmann.  Laura is a single mom of a 22 year old daughter.  In this video, she discusses the importance of consistency, communication and transparency in influencing the next generation and challenges single parents to be intentional about leaning on extended family and friends for help, support and encouragement.
