Listen "19. 2 Timothy's Framework for Filtering Parenting Advice"
Episode Synopsis
The most stressful thing for me as a new parent was trying to figure out what the truth about parenting is. There is a LOT of noise out there, especially in today's world of social media and information overload.In this episode, I'm sharing how I use 2 Timothy 1:7 (a.k.a. my favorite scripture verse of all time) as a framework to identify what advice is meant for me. This framework helps me decide whether the advice I'm receiving comes from a place of godly, eternal principles, or if it is merely "the philosophies of men."This episode should be especially helpful for new parents who might be in the exact same mental space that I was when I became a parent. The truth is that there is no magic pill or one-size-fits-all solutions in parenting. But if you can ask yourself the right questions, you will land on ideas and tools that can be extremely empowering for you and your children.Resources Mentioned:Brigham Young's Journal of DiscoursesA Theory of Objectivist Parenting by Roslyn RossScripture References:Doctrine & Covenants 88:118Doctrine & Covenants 46:15Moroni 10:82 Timothy 1:7Doctrine & Covenants 9:8–9
