Episode Synopsis

In “Discipline,” Pastor Dan walks through Hebrews 12:1–17 (with Ephesians 6:4; James 1:2–4; Romans 8:16–17, 28–29) to show that the Father’s discipline is loving formation, not angry punishment. God trains His children for our good, producing endurance, holiness, and the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Learn how to welcome correction, avoid bitterness, and see trials as the refinery where the Spirit forms Christ in us.You’ll hear about:What biblical discipline includes: instruction, correction, trainingWhy discipline confirms sonship/daughterhood and belongingCounting it joy in trials and letting endurance finish its workHow God uses every season to conform us to Jesus (Romans 8:28–29)Practical steps to respond without anger, shame, or despairScripture: Hebrews 12:1–17; Ephesians 6:4; James 1:2–4; Romans 8:16–17, 28–29 (series lens: John 14:7)Lean In (Conclusion):As you listen, lean in and pray, “Father, speak to me through Your Word today.” Invite Him to show where His loving discipline is at work.Takeaway/Challenge: Identify one current trial.
