Is discipline the most difficult part of your parenting journey? You’re not alone. But what if our understanding of discipline is what’s making it so hard? In this transformative episode, we tackle one of parenting's toughest tasks by returning to God's original design, revealing that true biblical discipline is not about punishment, but about loving training for eternal life.

Moving beyond frustration and anger, we explore what discipline truly is—and what it is not. We'll unpack the purpose of discipline as described in Hebrews 12 and provide the key elements that make it effective, including the non-negotiable roles of love, consistency, and courage. Finally, we look at the sobering story of Eli the priest to see the tragic consequences when a parent lacks the courage to discipline.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What Discipline IS: It’s training in a way of life—an apprenticeship in godliness—not merely punishment for misbehavior.
• The Essential Elements: Why love is the foundation, consistency is the framework, and courage is the necessary tool for effective discipline.
• The High Cost of Neglect: The biblical warning of what happens when we fail to "restrain" our children.

This episode is for every parent who wants to move from reacting to misbehavior to proactively shaping character. It’s a call to embrace the courageous, loving work of training your children in the way they should go.

Tune in to discover how to discipline not from anger, but from love—preparing your children not just for life, but for godliness.
