Time-outs? Spankings? “Positive Parenting?” Loss of privileges? What constitutes biblical “discipline?” Even self-described “Christian” sources can disagree on what godly parents should do to discipline their children. That’s why believers need to look to God’s Word for our understanding of biblical parenting.
Listen in as Jess talks with her friend Wendy about:
- How God’s Word defines “discipline”
- Biblical principles for parents in Hebrews 12
- Understanding our roles and responsibilities

Central passage discussed– Hebrews 12:5-11:

‘My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.’
