Parenting Boys with Purpose and Discipline with Pastor Ryan Bates

from The Heidi St. John Podcast · host Heidi St. John

My son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, is in the studio with me today, and we’re talking about life-giving parenting—especially when it comes to raising boys in a culture that’s confused (and often hostile) toward masculinity. We discuss why children are a blessing, why the family is under attack, what the Bible actually teaches about discipline, and how to raise boys with courage, purpose, and a love for the Lord. I think you’re going to be encouraged.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
