Summary

Abbie Halberstadt joins the podcast to talk about a parenting method called “Gentle Parenting.” She defines it and discusses some of the unbiblical worldview assumptions that can actually prevent our kids from being able to fully understand and appreciate the gospel. Should parents practice punishment or restorative discipline? Should Christians view all emotions as valid? Has the oppressed vs. oppressed narrative made its way into our parenting? Abbie and Alisa discuss all these questions and more.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA to get 10% off your subscription and a price lock guarantee until 2026!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comIMPACT 360Impact 360 prepares the next generation of leaders who follow Jesus through residential, community-centered experiences for 15 to 25-year-olds.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic
0:14.1	Christianity discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness
0:18.7	and truth. And today's episode is a little unusual for this podcast
0:24.2	because we're going to be talking about parenting
0:26.7	and in more specific terms what is being called
0:29.6	gentle parenting.
0:31.2	And so part of the goal of this show is to uncover, unbiblical ideas,
0:36.0	anywhere we find them. And sometimes those unbiblical ideas come into our parenting,
0:40.2	but I want to tell you that this show today is not just for parents.
0:44.2	I think it's really relevant to broader culture and culture at large because how people
0:49.5	approach parenting is going to affect the next generation, which is going to affect the
0:53.1	worldview of the next generation. And so really excited to have Abby Halberstadt on
0:57.2	with me today. She goes under the moniker M is for Mama on social media. So if you're
1:01.9	not following her, go and follow her. But I want to give you a little backstory as to why I invited Abby on today because we're in totally different worlds in our ministries. And we met a few months back when we were both speaking at what was called the Wellness Collective.
1:14.4	So typically I'm speaking at women's conferences or apologetics conferences,
1:19.4	but this was a little outside my wheelhouse and that the main focus was health and wellness for Christian women.
1:25.2	And I was thrilled to be invited because I have a crunchy side.
1:28.9	I keep chickens and I like to grow stuff and I like to approach my life pretty naturally and so I felt like I was with my people and I really enjoyed it.
1:37.0	But we did a Q&A panel and Abby spoke on the panel as well and somebody asked a question about gentle parenting and at that time I didn't
1:45.5	really know what it was but as Abby answered the question it made sense of so many
1:50.5	things that I've seen over the years as I've raised my own kids, experiences
1:55.0	they've had on the playground, interactions with other parents.
