For many people within conservative Evangelicalism the only parenting advice they ever received was “don’t spare the rod.” In this episode of Fractured Faith, Angel Ford (mother, mental health expert, and pastor) and Joshua Hopping (father and former pastor) talk about their journeys in shifting from only knowing about corporal punishment (spanking) to embracing a gentle parenting style. Angel also drops some amazing mental health knowledge while unpacking the infamous Proverbs 13:24 - “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.” So, buckle up and listen to another safe and non-controversial episode.
