On the ninth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin, Cassie Bryant, and Chelsea Griffin) address a very common issue that Christian parents face, parent guilt.. Questions that we answered in this episode:

• Why is having a Romans 3:23 vision of parenting important for parents? 
• What is the difference between being hard on yourself for not being a better parent and sinning in omission or commission that requires repentance? 
• We feel guilty when we think we did something wrong, is there such a thing as right and wrong in Christian parenting? 
• What role does comparison play in parent guilt? 
• Do you see a difference between grief over sin and guilt over unmet expectations? 
• How can moms and dads preach the gospel to themselves when it comes to their parenting shortcomings? 
• What role does community play in addressing parent guilt? 
• Where do you see moms and dads potentially feeling guilty specifically around family discipleship?  
• What is a godly response to making parenting mistakes? 
• What is the relationship between parenting guilt and Christ’s warning to not be anxious about anything? 
• What does modeling a guilty reaction to our own mistakes model for our kids that we don’t want them to learn from us? 
• If we could not get over our parent guilt, how would you counsel us?
