Wire Talk with Karen Stubbs

From disappointment in marriage to disrespectful teens, today’s episode tackles some hard moments moms are facing. Karen answers questions about how to parent through anger, restore broken relationships, and course-correct when obedience and respect have gone off track. With stories from her own life and wisdom rooted in Scripture, Karen reminds us thar God is in the business of redemption—and it’s never too late!

Episode Recap:
4:36 - My life is not at all going as I had planned - is there a Bible Study for that? 
10:44 - We missed the boat on disciplining our boys well in their younger years, how do we course correct now? Is it too late? 
15:45 - You answer to the Lord and you don’t need to apologize to anyone.
16:46 - My husband is an extremely permissive parent - what can I do?
19:40 - My 14 year old son hates me (I think in many ways, it’s deserved) what can I do? 

Scripture for Reflection: Galatians 5:22-33 (NIV)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

Questions for Discussion:
  1. What area of your life or parenting feels like it's “not going as planned” right now?
  2. Have you been tempted to sit in self-pity or blame? What truth do you need to remind yourself of today?
  3. Is there a place in your parenting where you need to course-correct—like obedience, respect, or consistency?
  4. How can you invite God into the process of healing a relationship that feels broken or strained?
