“My desires are real, but they are not my master.”

How do we teach our children self-control in a world that encourages them to follow every feeling and desire?

In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, Lori Lane explores the biblical habit of self-government and why raising children with strong character requires more than simply teaching obedience.

Through everyday parenting moments—from managing screen time to learning patience and resisting temptation—Lori shares how parents can help children develop biblical self-control, wisdom, and personal responsibility.

You'll discover:

  • Why self-government begins in the heart, not just in outward behavior.
  • How everyday choices prepare children for bigger decisions later in life.
  • Why modeling self-discipline matters just as much as teaching it.
  • How to raise children who govern themselves under God's authority.

Biblical parenting isn't just about raising well-behaved children. It's about discipling hearts and preparing wise, godly adults.

Listen in and discover how small moments of self-control can build a foundation for lifelong Christian character.
