“Spare the rod, spoil the child”—but what does that actually mean today?

Pastor Doug Wilson joins me to cut through the confusion of modern parenting. We discuss what the Bible really says about correction, the meaning of “the rod,” and how discipline—including spanking—can teach obedience and point kids to Christ without fear or shame. In a culture obsessed with therapy and emotional safety, Pastor Doug explains what parents aren’t being told about raising faithful, strong kids.
