021 - Discipline vs. Discipleship: Defining the Difference, Discovering the Benefits (a discussion with Don & Julie Keating)

<p>Join Rich and Julie Young as they welcome special guests, Don and Julie Keating, for an insightful conversation about their parenting journey. The Keatings open up about the principles that have guided their family, emphasizing the power of being a united team and the importance of speaking life into their children. As they put it, they are truly &quot;better together,&quot; and this shared front has been essential to their success in raising 5 children who love the Lord and each other.</p><p>The discussion also dives deep into a vital distinction for every parent: the difference between discipline and discipleship. While discipline focuses on correcting behavior, discipleship is about training a child&#39;s heart. Both are necessary for raising well-rounded children, but an imbalance, as too much of one at the expense of the other can be counterproductive. This episode offers practical wisdom for building a family on a foundation of love and intention.</p><p><br></p><p>Rich &amp; Julie Young, hosts</p><p>Don &amp; Julie Keating, Growing Families leaders</p><p><br></p><p>Speaking Life Podcast Episodes:</p><p>→ <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5BDHOwiCT9oCRsDYgNSu2H?si=49655cfea72441ec">⁠</a>Episode 2: A matter of life and death.
