In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer explores Hebrews 12:7–11 through a New Covenant theological lens. Drawing from Jewish tradition and the audience’s understanding of discipline under the Old Covenant, this First Pour reveals how divine correction is not punishment but proof of adoption. Under the New Covenant, discipline is redemptive, relational, and restorative evidence that we are true sons and daughters of God. Dr. Farmer unpacks how Christ’s fulfillment of the law transforms our understanding of hardship, shaping us into the likeness of Christ through the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
