Is It Discipline or Abuse? The Spanking Debate with Doug Wilson
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Cultural remedy: acknowledge Christ's lordship
Doug proposes recognizing Jesus' lordship over culture as a remedy to secularism and moral decay.
“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.
