Episode Notes: 

Principles 11-14: 

1. False gods. Principle: you are parenting a worshiper, so it's important to remember that what rules your child’s heart will control their behavior. 

2. Control. Principle: the goal of parenting is not control of behavior, but rather heart and life change. 

3. Rest. Principle: It only rests in God’s presence and grace that will make you a joyful and patient parent. 

4. Mercy. Principle: No parent gives mercy better than one who is convinced that they desperately need it themselves.
