Your Listener Questions Answered About Helping Kids Become More Independent, Disrespectful Teens and Moms that Need Breaks In the episode, Quinn answers these questions: 1. What should a mom do when they feel that their kids are being highly vocal in their teen years about the things I am not doing right as a parent? I want to take feedback, but don't want my feelings hurt. 2. My children are moving from the younger needy phase to the older independent phase and I'm struggling to let go of micromanaging them. How long are we supposed to let the leash lengthen between us and our child as they grow? 3. What happens when I am touched out? I don't want to be rude to them but I need space. Mind Renewal Tip: In parenting, if we remember that we grow as parents as our children grow as humans, we stay humble and adapt as their needs change. Scripture Renewal Tip: "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her." Proverbs 3:13-15: Purchase Sacred Marriage HERE.

We've done many episodes of Doable Discipleship about identity, largely because it's such an important topic in a world that constantly tries to fight for the right to control your identity, but also because there's just so much to talk about, particularly from the Christian perspective. And today I want to add two more facets to that conversation: self-esteem and bias. The premise: who you think you are creates a bias, even an unconscious one, in how you receive input about your life and how you view other people. It affects how you handle success, failure, advice, friendships, and so much more. Christians have the opportunity to anchor their identity, and therefore their bias and self-esteem in two key biblical truths. To talk to us about bias, self-esteem, and these biblical truths is Dr. Erin Devers, professor of psychology and Indiana Wesleyan University and author of the new book, The Unbiased Self. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 400 episodes. Episodes release every Tuesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Saddleback Church YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/saddleback).Resources Related to This Episode:https://www.amazon.com/Unbiased-Self-Psychology-Overcoming-Cognitive/dp/1514009765Subscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Related Doable Discipleship Episodes:Delighting in Jesus with Asheritah Ciuciu - https://youtu.be/nHFPW4QLc9sEmbracing Brokenness with Michael John Cusick - https://youtu.be/Wzky80I2lPwMysteries of Faith: Salvation - https://youtu.be/0webo0ULhKkMysteries of Faith: Prayer - https://youtu.be/9rFBmBKiNxIMysteries of Faith: Union with Christ - https://youtu.be/U1MkOvTKvd0Living Hope with Phil Wickham - https://youtu.be/1U_aetP2H0MLonging for Joy with Alastair Sterne - https://youtu.be/HNXAl4wTmIcMusic, Story, and Experience with Luke Smallbone - https://youtu.be/6I-ayiHn7TwNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/ddhjMfOoasALiving Out of Overflow - https://youtu.be/aBKXbHf0X0sLiving with Hope in the Midst of Struggle - https://youtu.be/99Nki49V0fI

The world often shows preference to extroverts because they seem friendly, warm and engaging, but introverts have equally needed and powerful traits that can get overlooked if they don't have opportunities to show their strengths. In today's episode, Quinn highlights: 1. The differences between introverts and extroverts 2. The myth of being shy versus being introverted 3. The traits that make introverts great leaders Mind Renewal Tip: Introverts often show their best self when they are focused on a task versus connection because the pressure of connecting does not take their energy. Scriptural Renewal Tip:There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. 13 We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. It didn't matter whether we were Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink. 14 So the body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.

In today's episode, Quinn addresses the subtle pressure many parents feel to make their children “great” in something be it academics, sports or another extracurricular activity. Because while most parents wouldn't say anyone is directly telling them to do this, they can admit they feel the outside influence to prepare their child to excel more than generations in the past. In the episode, Quinn teaches parents how to keep a balanced perspective and also encourages to be mindful of: 1. Two questions to ask yourself when feeling the pressure that your child needs to be doing big things 2. Times when you might be taking it too far in the expectations you have of them 3. A powerful connection time that can refocus your goals in parenting Mind Renewal Tip: If this won't be relevant to you in ten years, it shouldn't be something that keeps you up at night. Scripture Renewal Tip: “You don't get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It's who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

Some believe drinking is a sin and some believe that Jesus is accepting of it because he drank wine himself. But the question remains: “How much alcohol is acceptable (if any) as a Christian seeking to honor God?” In today's episode, Quinn discusses this very topic by talking about: 1. What the surgeon general stated in his January 2025 advisory 2. What the Bible has to say about drinking and what is recommended as a healthy amount 3. Questions to ask yourself about your drinking to help you have a clear mind Mind Renewal Tip: Drinking often takes more than it adds but we tend to focus on the short term benefit and ignore the long term cost.
