Ep. 94 - Did I Misread the Bible on Parenting? My Journey Back Through Scripture // Behind the Screen (Part 3/6)

If you’ve ever followed all the parenting rules, read all the books, and still felt your child slipping away, this episode will land deep in your chest. In this raw and honest conversation, Christy-Faith shares the story she’s never fully told—the moment she realized the parenting method she believed was “biblical” was actually building fear, walls, and distance with her child.  What followed was a journey of unlearning, healing, and rediscovering what discipline actually means through the lens of Scripture and attachment, not shame.   🛠️ LINKS & RESOURCES Free Homeschooling Resources Find everything you need to simplify and strengthen your homeschool journey: Free How to Homeschool Guide Free 5-Minute Homeschool Style Finder Free Guide - 20 Questions to Kickstart Your Deschooling Adventure Free Sample Homeschool Schedules 👉 https://christy-faith.com/links Thrive Homeschool Community Join Christy-Faith’s online community and create a homeschool that works for YOUR family—plus access the masterclass on socialization! 👉 https://christy-faith.com/thrive   Christy-Faith’s List  A curated guide to homeschool-friendly service providers, businesses, and colleges: 👉 https://christy-faiths-list.com   Christy-Faith’s Latest Book! 📖 Homeschool Rising: Shattering Myths, Finding Courage, and Opting Out of the School System ( Includes an entire chapter on deschooling—the step you can’t skip!) 👉 Get your copy: https://christy-faith.com/book-homeschool-rising   ❤️ MENTIONED IN EPISODE: 12 Day Connection Reset Challenge ❤️ 25% off with code CONNECT25 👉 https://christy-faith.com/12-day-connection-reset-challenge-instant-download   🎙️ SHOW SPONSORS BJU Press Homeschool  ✔ Flexible curriculum to fit your family’s needs  ✔ Biblical worldview and critical thinking built in  ✔ Hands-on learning for every grade level Find the perfect fit for your homeschool: 👉 Visit https://www.bjupresshomeschool.com/christy   CTC Math ✔ Get 50% off my favorite online math program ✔ Adaptive lessons so kids build confidence at their own pace ✔ Teaching, grading, and testing — all done for you! 👉 Free Trial 👉 Purchase Azure Standard Homeschool-family-owned company dedicated to providing affordable organic, natural, and non-gmo groceries, health, home, and garden products.  ✔ All vetted to be free of: Harmful preservatives, food colorings, chemicals, pesticides 👉 Visit https://www2.azurestandard.com/-christy-faith and use code CHRISTYFAITH15 for 15% off your first order Lovevery The Reading Skill Set by Lovevery follows the science of reading, making learning to read fun and confidence-boosting!  ✔ 98% of kids improved their reading scores in 6 weeks! 👉 Visit https://lovevery.com/christyfaith and use code CHRISTY10 for 10% off Summit Healthshare Healthcare Plans That Offer More and Cost 40-60% Less Than Traditional Insurance ✔ Keep your doctors ✔ Major Medical & Preventive Care – Including Holistic ✔ $0 Care, $0 Labs, $0 Prescription Programs 👉 https://summithealthshare.com/cf 🎁 FREE GIFT   Download this beautiful, ready-to-print notecard!  🔗 https://christy-faith.com/download-thanks-for-listening-gift   OTHER EPISODES FOR YOU 👀 Episode 75: Three Phrases I'll Never Say to My Kids Again 🔗 https://christy-faith.com/podcast/three-phrases-ill-never-say-to-my-kids-again-and-why/ Episode 80: Are Homeschool Moms More Patient? 🔗 https://christy-faith.com/podcast/are-homeschool-moms-more-patient/ 🎧 SHOW RECAP ✅ Why obedience isn’t the same as heart change ✅ How “biblical” parenting methods can accidentally feed fear, shame, and sneakiness ✅ The moment Christy realized consequences weren’t shaping character ✅ The difference between punishment (payment) and discipline (training) ✅ Why Jesus’ model of correction centers on restoration, not retribution ✅ What the research says about authoritarian vs. permissive vs. authoritative parenting ✅ How shame shuts down the learning parts of a child’s brain ✅ Why connection + boundaries create the healt
