The Bible Says To Train Your Kids. Here's How

Training your children is a Biblical mandate.

But it's almost become a dirty word in 2026.

"How dare you train your children! You're infringing on their liberty as individuals!"

But this is part of God's expectation for parents - to raise them up in the way they should go. And that requires training.

In this episode, we'll convince you briefly why training your kids is necessary (if you still need convincing), and then give you some practical tools and mindset shifts to start actually implementing this.
