A Course Grounded in Scripture, Not Cultural Tradition
As a parenting expert who takes an attachment-focused approach to sleep and parenting, I never expected I’d be bringing back my parenting courses. I’ve been really focused on sleep lately, but a profound conviction brought me here. That conviction came during a Christian conference when I sat in a parenting breakout session and heard “experts” casually recommend spanking young children and using time-outs as discipline methods.
I was shocked. These recommendations were coming from people who love the Lord—people who understand His grace and kindness, people who are encouraged to run TO Him in moments of trouble, not away from Him. Yet here they were, teaching parents to do the exact opposite when their children needed them most.
As I dug deeper into what the Bible actually says about parenting, I discovered something startling: nowhere in Scripture do we find instructions to use separation-based discipline or physical punishment for children. In fact, the overwhelming emphasis is on gentleness, patience, and love.
The popular phrase “spare the rod, spoil the child” doesn’t even appear in the Bible—it comes from a 17th-century poem about romance, not child-rearing. When we examine the actual biblical passages about the “rod,” we find they refer to a shepherd’s staff used to gently guide sheep back to safety, not to strike them.
How we parent directly impacts our children’s understanding of God’s character. Being parented through punishment and the withholding of affection affects a child’s ability to accept unconditional love—which is key to truly understanding the gospel.
One of the biggest barriers to fully grasping Christianity is accepting that God loves us no matter what, whether we sin or not. When children learn that love is conditional on their behavior, when they’re sent away in their moments of greatest need, they struggle to believe in a God who calls them close.
After extensive study, I found that Scripture consistently emphasizes:
How did we stray so far from God’s word? How did fear-based parenting become synonymous with “biblical” parenting? This course will explore:
God wants us to come to Him when we’re in trouble. When Adam was hiding in shame, God called out, “Where are you?”—not to condemn, but because He wanted Adam near, even in his failure.
Our children need the same response from us. They need to learn that when they’re struggling, when they’ve made mistakes, when they’re overwhelmed—they can run TO their parents for help, not away in fear.
This course will provide:
We want to raise children who see God as safe, loving, and approachable—children who will run TO their Heavenly Father throughout their lives, not away from Him. This happens when they experience that kind of love and safety with their earthly parents first.
If you’re tired of parenting methods that contradict God’s character…
If you’ve questioned whether there’s a more loving way to guide your children…
If you want to raise kids who see God as their safe haven, not their judge…
