The Gritty Gospel with Christy Young

Every parent sees it eventually.

The demands. The expectations. The quiet belief that the world exists to serve them.

But entitlement in children is not simply the result of bad parenting, weak boundaries, or cultural pressure. Scripture tells us something deeper and more honest: our children are born with hearts bent inward, just like us.

In this episode of The Gritty Gospel, we talk about how entitlement is not merely a behavior problem, but a heart and discipleship issue. One that begins early, forms quietly, and—if left unaddressed—can harden into character. This conversation is not about shaming parents or offering quick fixes. It’s about seeing our children clearly, taking sin seriously, and parenting with gospel-centered wisdom before entitlement takes root.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why entitlement is present from birth

• The difference between grace and indulgence

• Why behavior management alone is not enough

• How the gospel shapes gratitude, humility, and joy

• What faithful parenting looks like when the heart is the issue

If you’re a parent who wants to disciple your child’s heart—not just manage their behavior—this episode is for you. The Gritty Gospel exists to help parents raise children with clarity, courage, and hope in a broken world, trusting that real change comes not through control, but through Christ.

Do you ever feel like you’re not enough as a mom? Like no matter how hard you try, you fall short, lose your patience, or feel worn out and inadequate?

This encouragement from 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 will remind you that your weakness isn’t a failure — it’s the very place where God pours out His strength. In this video, we share biblical truth, practical hope, and a reminder that God never asked you to be “enough.” He asked you to depend on the One who is.

If you’re a Christian mom who feels overwhelmed, discouraged, or insufficient… this is for you.

When your child refuses to admit they’re wrong, denies their sin, or won’t take responsibility, it can leave you frustrated and unsure how to parent well.

In this episode, we talk about how Christian parents can shepherd stubborn hearts toward truth and repentance. God calls us not just to correct behavior, but to lovingly lead our children to see their sin, confess it, and run to Christ.

If you’re dealing with blame-shifting, denial, or kids who won’t say “I was wrong,” this will help you walk the biblical path of discipline, grace, and discipleship.

What is the goal of education?

For most of us, our understanding of school has been shaped by what’s normal and conventional—but it’s time to excise that thinking entirely.

As Christian parents, we must reclaim the truth: education is discipleship.

Is the goal of education to earn a good job, get into college, build wealth, or achieve success? Or is the true goal for our kids to know God rightly, follow Him faithfully, and glorify Him with their lives?

These are not small differences. They produce completely different kinds of children—and completely different futures. We need to approach education with the end goal in mind.

In this episode, we explore:

**The real purpose and goal of education

**Why conventional models miss the mark

**How Christian parents can reclaim discipleship in the home

**Why formation—not achievement—is the heart of education

**How removing God from learning leads to spiritual drift

**Why the battle for your child’s worldview happens daily

The issue of education is ultimately an issue of the heart. And heart transformation cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit. Yet Scripture calls parents to diligently teach, shape, and disciple their children every day.

Our goal is not to produce clean-cut kids or multigenerational wealth. Our goal is to raise children who fear the Lord, love the truth, and stand firm in a world that’s collapsing morally. If you care about discipleship, worldview, wisdom, biblical parenting, Christian education, homeschooling, or raising strong kids, this episode will both challenge and encourage you.

What every Christian parent needs to know about public school — and why what’s taught in the classroom today didn’t happen by accident.

In this episode of The Gritty Gospel, we pull back the curtain on the history, philosophy, and spiritual direction of America’s education system — and why followers of Jesus can’t afford to ignore it.

🔹 PART I: Where the System Came From We trace the roots of modern education — from the industrial revolution to the push for a standardized, state-controlled system.

🔹 PART II: Who Shaped It Meet the key thinkers and reformers who designed public schools to form citizens — not disciples — and how their worldview still shapes classrooms today.

🔹 PART III: How It Became Centralized Discover how government control and federal funding slowly replaced local, family-led influence — and what that means for parents of faith.

🔹 PART IV: As Believers, What Do We Do About It? This is where conviction meets action. How do we disciple our kids in a system that’s discipling them away from Christ?

👉 Whether you homeschool, send your kids to public school, or something in between — this episode will challenge you to think deeply, biblically, and courageously about your child’s education.
