On this episode of the Crosspolitic's 10 Shots of Sanity Series, Knox, Toby, and Gabe expose how the viral outrage over Nancy Wilson's spanking story reveals America's complete abandonment of 3,000 years of biblical wisdom on raising children. We trace the unbroken line from the rejection of the rod to overflowing prisons, warehouses for the elderly, and a generation paralyzed by anxiety despite receiving the most therapy in history. Its made clear that once the West decided discipline was abuse, everything from gentle parenting to toxic empathy to a multi-trillion dollar hole in the American economy became not just possible, but inevitable. The only path forward? A return to what built Western civilization in the first place: a biblical household.

ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC
CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America. Mainstream media is collapsing. Eighty-seven percent of journalists identify as progressive, and even many conservative outlets prioritize profit over principle. Meanwhile, billions of hours of digital content are discipling the world every day. CrossPolitic stands in that gap, producing courageous, entertaining, truth-filled media for households, churches, and leaders across the nation.
