Being a parent means that you will walk through your fair share of sticky situations. At the Nest on the Dallas campus, Millye Hale reminded us what our response should be when we face these moments in life.

The primary role given to every parent by God is that of making disciples of our children. Having a right understanding of our role as disciple makers is key to understanding what it looks like to faithfully train our children in the truth of God and His Word through discipline. In this session of DadU, we consider the essential principles of discipline and some of the ways these principles are carried out in healthy families today.
