☕ Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting

Episode 3 — Aim True: Keeping the Goal in Mind

Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting is a Christian parenting podcast offering Scripture-rooted encouragement for raising children with faith and purpose. In this episode, “Aim True,” Christie and Cody focus on keeping the end goal in mind as parents — not cultural success or good behavior, but aiming our children toward Christ.

Rooted in Psalm 127:4–5, this conversation reminds us that children are not trophies to display or projects to perfect — they are arrows, shaped intentionally and released with purpose. Parenting isn’t about managing behavior in the moment; it’s about forming hearts for eternity.

Through a real-life parenting moment that unfolds on a sidewalk outside a hotel, this episode explores how the gospel shapes the way we talk to our kids about identity, sin, grace, and unconditional love. When parenting moments feel messy, inconvenient, or public, God often meets us there with clarity and purpose.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What it means to “aim true” in Christian parenting
• Why the target is Christ — not cultural achievement or self-esteem
• Teaching children their identity before correcting behavior
• Balancing inherent worth as God’s image-bearers with the need for redemption
• Using real-life parenting moments to disciple toward the gospel
• How speaking the target out loud helps keep parenting focused

This episode is for parents who want biblical truth on parenting, gospel-centered discipleship, and encouragement for raising children to know and love Jesus in a confusing and distracted world.

☕ Coffee Break is designed to be short, thoughtful, and rooted in Scripture — perfect for a quiet moment with your morning coffee or a pause in the middle of a chaotic day.

Scripture referenced: Psalm 127:4–5, Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:14, Zephaniah 3:17, Romans 5:8

Episode 2 — Strengthen the Bow: Prioritizing Your Marriage

Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting is a Christian parenting podcast offering Scripture-rooted encouragement for real-life family discipleship. In this episode, “Strengthen the Bow,” Christie and Cody explore why prioritizing your marriage is essential to building a strong, God-centered home.

Using Proverbs 24:3–4 as our foundation, we talk honestly about how marriage often gets pushed aside in the busy, exhausting seasons of parenting — and why God’s design places the marriage covenant before the parenting role. Before arrows can fly straight, the bow that launches them must be strong.

If you’re a Christian parent feeling stretched thin, disconnected from your spouse, or stuck in survival mode, this episode offers biblical truth, grace-filled encouragement, and practical wisdom for strengthening your marriage while raising children.

In this episode, we discuss:

• God’s design for marriage as the foundation of the home
• Why kids naturally compete for attention — and how to keep them from becoming the center
• How assuming the best intentions can protect connection and unity
• Why marriage is sanctifying and calls us to sacrificial love
• How unaddressed issues create hidden blockages in marriage over time
• Keeping the long-term goal in mind: a covenant that lasts beyond the parenting years

This conversation is for married parents, single parents walking faithfully with God, and anyone seeking biblical guidance on marriage, parenting, and Christian family life. Whether you’re parenting toddlers or preparing to launch grown children, strengthening your marriage strengthens your entire home.

☕ Coffee Break is designed to be short, thoughtful, and Scripture-based — perfect for a quiet moment with your coffee or a pause in the middle of a chaotic day.

Scripture referenced: Proverbs 24:3–4, Proverbs 16:3, Ecclesiastes 4:9, Proverbs 14:1, Proverbs 15:17, Proverbs 15:1, Romans 12:10, 1 Corinthians 13:7

Parenting doesn’t start with fixing our kids — it starts with aligning our own hearts.

In the first episode of Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting, Cody and Christie Hudson invite you into an honest, grace-filled conversation about what it means to begin parenting from reverence, humility, and trust in God. Drawing from Proverbs 9:10, they explore how the fear of the Lord — not fear-based parenting — becomes the foundation of wisdom for our homes.

This episode unpacks:

• Why alignment matters before instruction
• How obedience and trust shape what our kids actually learn
• The power of repentance, confession, and openness in parenting
• How priorities, gratitude, and community keep our hearts steady

With real stories from the trenches, practical biblical wisdom, and encouragement for imperfect parents, Align the Arrow reminds us that when a parent’s heart is aligned with God, the arrows they’re raising can fly true.

Grab your coffee, take a breath, and start where all godly parenting begins — with alignment.

Single motherhood often means carrying a cup you never planned to hold — full of responsibility, exhaustion, decisions, and quiet weight that few people see.

In this bonus episode of Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting, Christie speaks directly to single Christian moms walking through real, imperfect circumstances. Whether this season came through your own choices, the choices of others, loss, or a painful mix of all three, this episode asks one grounding question:

What does faithfulness look like now — right where you stand?

This conversation isn’t about guilt, comparison, or pretending things are easier than they are. It’s about aligning your heart with biblical truth, trusting God in the everyday grind, and learning how faithfulness still has shape and purpose — even when motherhood looks different than you imagined.

We talk about: • Carrying the daily weight of parenting alone • Wisdom for hard decisions • Letting go of the pressure to be everything • Finding strength in community • Faithfulness in small, unseen moments • Navigating co-parenting, step-family dynamics, and limited contact • Trusting God when control feels out of reach

If you’ve ever wondered whether your quiet obedience still matters — this episode is for you.

Coffee Break exists to offer biblical truth for real parenting situations, not perfect ones. You belong here.

Single fatherhood comes with weight few people see — complex stories, altered expectations, and responsibilities that don’t disappear when circumstances change.

In this bonus episode of Coffee Break: Biblical Truth on Parenting, we speak directly to single dads walking through seasons they didn’t plan for. Whether you’re here because of your own choices, the choices of others, loss, or circumstances beyond your control, Scripture asks the same question of every man:

What does faithfulness look like from here?

This episode is not about assigning blame or reliving the past. It’s about walking forward with integrity, repentance where needed, restraint where required, and trust where control is gone. We talk about consequences without condemnation, honesty with your kids, navigating relationships that are not walking in step with God, and how fatherhood may look different than you imagined — without abandoning the call God has placed on your life.

Using the framework from this season: • Align the Arrow • Anchor the Archer • Guard the Quiver • Train the Arrow • Trust the Archer

This episode calls single dads to remain steady, faithful, and obedient — wherever God has placed them.
