And then we're able to address it from a Christ-centered perspective because the Bible really is the ultimate instruction manual to parents that gives us everything we need to know for raising our kids in the ways of the Lord.

But we have to know how to get past that outward behavior, like whining, for example.

A lot of times parents will say, well, I don't see whining in the Bible.

So how do I get past that outward behavior?

And where do I go in Scripture to look up how to address this from a biblical perspective with my kids?

Well, I had a kid that whined, and so I can definitely relate to that.

That's one that can really get under our skin.

One of those, you know, just go to your room.

I don't want to hear this anymore.

But being intentional means how can we talk about this from a heart-oriented perspective?

So my daughter, Alex, she gives me permission to share stuff about her.

And my son does, too, just for the benefit of giving personal examples.

So they're so sweet to let me.

They say it makes them famous.

Even when they're telling them all the bad things, they're like, oh, we still like for you to talk about us.

It makes us famous.

But so Alex really struggled with whining.

And so let's just let's just do like a common example.

Let's say that Alex comes into the kitchen and instead of asking for a cup of juice and a normal tone of voice, she whines for it.

And so I want to address that from a biblical perspective.
