Episode notes
Necessity of Discipline
- Discipline is essential because something must be removed from children, not just added through discipleship.
- Children are born foolish, proud, and rebellious, requiring correction and discipline alongside guidance.
Discipline Focuses On Future
- Discipline aims for future obedience and wisdom, not punishment for past misbehavior.
- Effective discipline fosters humility and teachability leading to a child's growth and wisdom.
Pray For Teachability
- Pray for teachability and humility during discipline moments to foster repentance.
- When repentance and teachability begin, discipline should stop and shift back to discipleship.
