“Correction is not shaming your child—it’s shepherding them. Discipline is not punitive—it’s redemptive.”

In this episode, Lori and John take a deep dive into the rising popularity of gentle parenting and measure it against the unchanging truth of Scripture. Rather than dismissing trends, Lori encourages parents to hold every philosophy up to the light of God’s Word. It causes us to question what truly matters: are we prioritizing a child’s comfort, or are we pursuing their spiritual growth?

Drawing from decades of experience and the four core principles of Legacy Parenting, Lori explores how parenting must be more than behavior management—it must be a spiritual, heart-focused calling. This episode is a call to biblical conviction in how we love, correct, and disciple our children.

Key Takeaways:

• Gentle parenting often elevates comfort over spiritual growth—biblical parenting doesn’t.
• Scripture teaches that children are born with a sinful nature in need of discipleship, not just affirmation.
• Biblical discipline, though sometimes uncomfortable, leads to repentance and heart change.
• Parents are heart shepherds, not just behavior managers.
• Correction done in love reflects God’s character and authority—not cultural trends.
