Part2: Controversial Things I do As a Christian Mom You all loved Part 1 — so here’s round two. These are a few more choices we make as Christian parents that tend to raise some eyebrows. Not out of fear. Not to be different. But because our goal is obedience to Christ, not approval from culture. 1️⃣ We teach self-control over self-expression. Culture tells kids to “follow your heart.” We teach them to guard it instead. (Proverbs 4:23) Real freedom comes from surrender, not indulgence. 2️⃣ We don’t allow them to sleep at other people’s houses. It’s not about fear — it’s about stewardship. Too many things happen in hidden places, and as parents, we’re called to protect what God’s entrusted to us. “Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33) 3️⃣ We guard what influences them. That means saying no to certain music, shows, and characters. We’re not sheltering them — we’re shepherding them. Their hearts are too precious to hand over to the world’s messaging. 4️⃣ We teach modesty from a young age. Not shame — but identity. We remind them their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). Modesty isn’t about hiding, it’s about honoring God with what we wear and how we carry ourselves. 5️⃣ We don’t do Santa to make faith fun. Our goal isn’t to add to the story — it’s to keep the focus on Jesus. Wonder doesn’t come from fantasy — it comes from truth. These aren’t rules out of fear — they’re rhythms rooted in faith. We’re not trying to raise “good kids,” we’re trying to raise kingdom-minded disciples. If this resonates, you’ll love Part 3 — it’s even spicier. 👀Follow if this speaks to you ❤️ #christianmom #christianity
