KNEO Podcast

Every troubled teen has a story that goes much deeper than their behavior shows. Behind acting out, running away, or self-destruction, there's often a world of private pain and confusion. Today, Mark Gregston sits down with two teens from Heartlight whose journeys reveal how struggles like addiction, grief and low self-worth can drive choices that seem shocking to outsiders. For one young lady, a long battle with eating disorders and drug use hid her feelings of worthlessness. Tune in for honest, hopeful stories about facing pain head-on and starting over — one step at a time.

If your teen is struggling right now, Heartlight may be the answer. Learn more at heartlightministries.org today.

Throughout history, kings and queens have ruled over vast empires. But every earthly ruler eventually surrenders their crown. There is, however, one King whose reign will never end—and His name is Jesus Christ. Dr. Robert Jeffress talks about Christ’s future thousand-year reign on Earth and what it means for believers.

Most all of us have someone in our circle of influence who doesn’t know the Lord, and we’ve never talked to them about Jesus. And that weighs heavily on our conscience. If it doesn’t, maybe it should. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the account of Jonah . . . no, not so much about the great fish, but about his assignment of delivering the message God gave him. At first he refused, but then he got a second chance. Maybe we need a second chance.

Discipline. It’s only one word, but it conjures up a multitude of thoughts or memories. In this message, Chip encourages us that done properly, discipline can actually build a strong, positive bond between you and your kids.

Case Study #1 – Reuben Hill (Minnesota Report)

• Summary: The balanced authoritative parent, who gives high support (love) and high control (discipline), typically produces children with high self-esteem, good coping skills, and a positive relationship with parents.

Case Study #2 – Hebrews 12 - Christians A.D. 66-70

• Summary: Discipline is teaching obedience to God and His Word through consistentconsequences (actions) and clear instructions (words) in an atmosphere of love.

Five characteristics of discipline:

1. The necessity of discipline = To deter DESTRUCTION. -Heb. 12:4
2. The means of discipline = The ACTIONS and WORDS. -Heb. 12:5
3. The motive in discipline = To express LOVE. -Heb. 12:6-9
4. The goal of discipline = To teach OBEDIENCE or SUBMISSION. -Heb. 12:9
5. The result of discipline = Short term PAIN and long term GAIN. -Heb. 12:10,11

Two key biblical concepts

1) Actions: Consistent consequences

Seven steps to discipline:

1. Clear WARNING.
2. Establish responsibility.
3. Avoid EMBARASSMENT.
4. Communicate grief.
5. Flick the WRIST.
6. Sincere repentance.
7. Unconditional LOVE.

2) Words: Clear instructions

Four ways to use words to bring about correction:

1. Say “no” FIRMLY.
2. CLEAR WARNING of consequences.
3. Use CONTRACTS.
4. Use CONSEQUENCES
