Episode notes

Love is many things, but passive is not one of them.

God disciplines those that He loves, and in the interest of trying to become the best parents we can be for the sake of our kids, we're actively learning how to discipline well.

Discipline, as opposed to punishment, considers the long-term goals and ramifications of different forms of correction, and involves instructing, equipping, and empowering.

Join Brian and Katie as they discuss the necessity of disciplining kids in love, and a lesson Brian recently learned through a time he didn't get it right with the kids.
