Parenting 911 | The Defiant Child: Parenting 911 (Part 3)

In The Defiant Child, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses parents of strong-willed children with Biblical clarity and Gospel urgency. Scripture is inerrant, and God’s Word commands parents to bring children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord without crushing their spirits. Defiance must not be excused, but neither should parents rely on anger, shame, or outward control. They must set clear boundaries, enforce consequences, pray without ceasing, and keep pointing their children to the Lord Jesus Christ. The defiant child’s deepest need is not self-expression, but repentance and surrender. Only Christ, the divine Son of God, can bring wandering hearts home.
