Why Gentle Parenting Is Failing Our Kids | Raising Children With Discipline, Discernment, & Christ

Описание: Parenting is not complicated—but it is intentional. And if we don’t intentionally form our children, the world will.

In this episode of Meet at the Well, Justin and Lauren have an honest, unfiltered conversation about parenting—what’s working, what’s failing, and why so many modern approaches are leaving children anxious, entitled, and spiritually unanchored.

They talk openly about why gentle parenting feels deeply unbiblical, how culture has centered children’s feelings instead of building emotional resilience, and what it actually means to train up a child in the way they should go.

This episode is for parents who feel the tension and know something needs to change.

In this conversation, they cover:

💧 Why gentle parenting fails to build emotional resilience
💧 Teaching children that feelings are real, but not ultimate truth
💧 Discipline as love—not punishment, shame, or aggression
💧 Why children need correction, boundaries, and responsibility
💧 Leading by example as the foundation of faith-filled parenting
💧 Being intentional about media, screens, and what children consume
💧 Why spiritual warfare is real—and why children are a target
💧 Raising kids to do hard things, fail with grace, and grow in confidence
💧 Preparing children to become capable adults—not the center of the world
💧 Parenting as sacrifice, formation, and service to God’s design
💧 Motherhood, marriage, and the re-ordering that happens when Christ is the foundation of the home
