Parenting today seems to swing between two extremes: harsh, behavior-focused discipline and a “gentle parenting” culture that puts a child’s feelings in the driver’s seat. But there’s a better way. Ginger Hubbard joins me for a practical conversation about biblical discipline, reaching the heart of your child, teaching obedience without parenting in anger, navigating disrespect and the teenage years, and what to do when you realize you’ve gotten it wrong. Our goal isn’t simply well-behaved kids. It’s raising children who know God, love Him, and learn to walk in wisdom.

On October 15, a 16-year-old opened fire in a special-needs classroom at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, killing three children and a teacher. An armed father stepped in and stopped him within minutes. Oregon already has strict gun laws, but more restrictions won’t fix a heart issue. Today, I’m talking about this heartbreaking tragedy, what it will take to address the evil behind it, and why the people we elect this November matter more than ever.
