In this episode, Matt and Shannon discuss the statement, "Parents are the primary disciplers of their children." When you hear that phrase, what stirs inside you? Excitement? Fear? Confusion? A mix of all three? In this wide-ranging conversation, we aim to offer both encouragement and practical advice for parents when it comes to discipling their sons and daughters.
