Episode 290 | Gentle Parenting vs. Biblical Gentleness with Bonnie Matthews

Episode Description

Are all the conflicting opinions about how to train and discipline your children leaving you feeling unsure and overwhelmed?  Do you want the confidence of knowing that the Bible, not the world, is shaping your day-to-day parenting decisions, and how to balance correcting behavior while still shepherding your child’s heart toward Christ? Join Ginger Hubbard and Alex Cody, along with special guest Bonnie Matthews, as they discuss how the Bible calls us to lead our homes with biblical clarity, loving authority, and practical wisdom that works for real life.
