About this episode

Meeke Addison and Dr. Kathy Koch discuss the common parenting struggle of expecting children to reflect their parents instead of their God-given identity.

Are you expecting your child to think, learn, and succeed just like you? In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison and Dr. Kathy Koch unpack a subtle but common parenting struggle—wanting our children to reflect us instead of the image of God within them. As Meeke reflects on her homeschool journey and launching her oldest daughter, she shares a humbling realization: God didn’t design her child to be like her… and that truth changed everything. Dr. Kathy Koch explains what it truly means for our kids to be made in the image of God—and how we can intentionally call that out, nurture it, and celebrate it in everyday moments. 💡 You’ll be encouraged to: Release unrealistic expectations for your child Recognize pride in parenting (and what to do about it) Celebrate how your child uniquely reflects God’s character Have meaningful, Christ-centered conversations with your kids This is a must-watch for Christian parents who want to raise children rooted in identity, purpose, and truth.
