Opening your Bible to interpret the scripture can take you on a remarkable journey. But what happens when well-meaning advice like "spare the rod, spoil the child" gets lost in translation? We're on a mission to shed light on biblical parenting, giving it the deep dive it truly deserves. 

We tackle the origins of the phrase "spare the rod" and tear down misconceptions about its meaning. Get ready to unlearn what you know about the 'rod' in the Bible as we reveal the true meaning of the word 'shabbat'. We analyze verses like Proverbs 13:24 , Psalm 23:4 and Exodus 21:20 , giving you a fresh perspective on how the rod was used in biblical times. But it's not all about discipline; Jesus taught about not provoking our children to anger and we're here to discuss the implications of these teachings on our parenting styles.

The episode concludes with a hard look at the questionable parenting methods suggested in some books and the risks they pose. We champion the cause of being a Christ-like parent, encouraging and disciplining our children with love and understanding. Biblical parenting is a journey, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that will transform your perspective on parenting.
