Freedom from Fear-Based Parenting

📖 Introduction

Parenting is one of life’s most beautiful yet challenging journeys. For many, it can be marred by fear—fears about our children’s safety, success, and decisions. These fears sometimes translate into controlling behaviors, creating an environment where addiction to fear-based parenting takes root. But God’s Word offers a liberating truth: we can parent with faith, not fear. This study explores how freedom from fear addiction leads to healthier, faith-filled parenting.

Fear-based parenting often arises from a desire to protect our children at any cost, but it can unintentionally foster anxiety and rebellion. By contrast, the Bible invites parents to trust God’s sovereignty, lean on His promises, and lead by example through faithfulness and love. This Bible study helps you examine the roots of your fear, confront the addiction to control, and embrace liberating faith that cultivates peace and trust in your family.

Over the next seven days, you will explore key Scripture passages that address fear, trust, control, and God’s nurturing heart. Each day offers devotional reflections, probing questions for deep self-examination, journaling prompts to process your journey, and prayers to invite God’s transforming power. Whether you’re newly recognizing fear’s grip or have wrestled with it for years, this plan aims to renew your parenting approach and empower you to parent with confidence in God’s plan.

Let’s embark on this journey toward freedom, learning to parent not by fear or control, but by faith, hope, and love.
