Social media is reshaping the inner life of a generation, and the numbers prove it. This episode forces a hard audit of the heart. Envy, insecurity, comparison, identity distortion, and spiritual erosion accelerate when the phone becomes the primary window we look through.

Not every wrong action from a child is rebellion. Sometimes it’s simple immaturity, other times it’s outright defiance. In this episode, we look at what the Bible says about folly versus rebellion, how parents can discern the difference, and why using clear, consistent consequences helps guide children toward wisdom and godliness.

Gentle parenting claims children are inherently good and discipline should be avoided, but the Bible says children are born with a sin nature and need loving correction. In this episode, we contrast gentle parenting with God’s design, showing how Scripture calls parents to guide, correct, and train their children toward holiness and godliness.

Public schools in California and other progressive states are no longer simply teaching academics, they’re actively stripping parents of their God-given role. From hiding critical information about gender identity, to promoting LGBT curriculum, to allowing abortion pills for minors without parental consent, the state is claiming authority over your children’s hearts, minds, and bodies.
