Gentle Parenting: Biblical Wisdom or Cultural Trap? || 6/21/2025 || #210


Listen Later

Join Monique for an in-depth and thought-provoking interview with Erin Kunkle from MAVEN to explore a Christian perspective on gentle parenting. In this long-form conversation, they dive into the popular yet controversial parenting philosophy, examining its core pillarsโ€”empathy, respect, understanding, and boundariesโ€”and how they align (or donโ€™t) with biblical principles.
Erin, a mother of five and co-host of the MAVEN Parent Podcast, shares her insights on the rise of gentle parenting, its appeal to millennial parents, and the potential dangers of its therapeutic approach when disconnected from a Christian worldview. From discussing the cultural pressures of social media to unpacking key scriptures on parenting, this episode challenges listeners to consider how Godโ€™s design for family, authority, and discipline contrasts with modern parenting trends.
Key Questions:
๐Ÿ‘‰ How does gentle parenting handle sin and the human condition?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Can empathy and respect coexist with firm, loving discipline?
๐Ÿ‘‰ What does it mean to raise children who fear the Lord in a world that rejects authority?
