Parents, have you wondered how much modern culture—with its screens and shifting philosophies—has changed the way we raise our kids? The impact may be more serious than many of us realize. In this episode, Brett and Erin talk with Dr. Leonard Sax about his important book "The Collapse of Parenting" and how immensely the culture has shifted the parenting landscape leading to a collapse in parental authority. Together, they discuss practical ways parents can re-establish healthy leadership for a family culture where children can truly thrive.

Should you discipline your kids in public? How do we navigate those situations when our kid talks back or kicks off a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store? In this episode, Brett and Erin dig into Ephesians 6:4 and address a tension many parents feel: how to practice strong, authoritative discipline without humiliating your child when they're losing it in public.

Parents, we've all been there: You’ve said "No" about five times at this point. You’ve given a warning. Maybe you've even explained the consequence…and still nothing changes! This cycle can feel exhausting and ineffective. How can we actually get discipline to work? In this episode, Brett and Erin talk about what actually makes discipline effective at home, explain why repeated warnings, empty consequences, and emotional reactions often undermine our authority, and how calm consistency builds respect over time.
