Dr. Joe Rigney emphasizes the importance of parenting as a joint effort between fathers and mothers, focusing on having a gospel presence within the family. Parents are urged to parent with love, faith, and discipline, allowing children to grow and mature while reflecting God's love and delight. He discusses effective discipline methods, emphasizing the need for consistency, firmness, and cheerfulness in a joyful home environment. The ultimate goal is for parents to seek the hearts of their children, reflecting God's love and leading them to give their hearts to Him. Dr. Rigney ends with a prayer for parents to be the smile of God to their children and to parent out of faith in God's promises. #parenting #gospelpresence #discipline #embitteringchildren#instruction #correction #rebuke #reward #exhortation #receivingchildren
