    Is Spanking Biblical?

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 17, 2022 32:05


    For too long I've heard the saying (not scripture) "Spare the rod, Spoil the child" as the "Biblical" justification for spanking. Is this justification acceptable? What do the major Mega Ministries have to say about spanking? What about renowned American New Testament Scholar, Reformed Theologian, pastor and chancellor John Piper, what about Focus on the Family? I'm sure this is going to land me in hot water, and I just couldn't care less any more. Why hasn't anyone answered these two questions from the pulpit; 1. What is spanking? What is the Biblical definition/justification for inflicting violence on our children? 2. What is a "last resort" and when do I know I've reached it? There isn't ONE "christian" parenting author, pastor, psychologist, or speaker who has answered these questions satisfactorily. It's high time someone did. Let's pull the pin and see what happens!!

    On today's episode Ryan dives into the science of learning. When learning something new, often the process involves feeling and looking silly or foolish. When we avoid those feelings it halts our learning process. Our kids go through this all the time throughout childhood and adolescence. We can foster a lifetime of learning if we can teach ourselves and our children to embrace these feelings by example. The tool is board games. Don't miss this engaging episode.
