Family Matters: Connection Before Correction

About this episode

Pastor Josh discusses the importance of connection in relationships before implementing correction, emphasizing a scriptural approach to discipline.

Often, relationships with children, grandchildren, or even employees are approached as though the goal is behavior management. The scriptural aim is not control, but to reflect the heart of God. In this message, Pastor Josh reminds us that connection must precede correction so we can ensure discipline focuses on restoration, growth, and a clearer picture of who God is.
