Spare the Rod, Strengthen the Child: Understanding & Overcoming the Spanking Culture with Marissa Burt & Kelsey McGinnis

In this episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy talks with authors Kelsey McGinnis and Marissa Burt about their new book, The Myth of Good Christian Parenting. Together they explore how spanking culture took root in many church communities, what Scripture really says (and doesn’t say), and how parents can move toward a faith-aligned, compassionate approach to discipline. This conversation is full of hope, healing, and encouragement. You’ll walk away with tools to release old fears, respond with calm and connection, and build the kind of legacy your kids will carry with joy.
