Summary

In this episode, Brooke and TJ respond to a common Instagram question — and unpack why they don’t subscribe to the modern “gentle parenting” movement. From exploring its origins to calling out how it’s been distorted by social media, they share what they do instead in their home: biblical parenting rooted in truth, grace, and Holy Spirit-led wisdom. This episode is honest, clarifying, and practical — perfect for any parent navigating today’s overwhelming parenting culture. 🙏 PRAYER OR LITURGY Lord, Thank you for entrusting us with our children. Help us to love them with gentleness, to train them with wisdom, and to lead them with both compassion and clarity. Remind us that authority is not domination — it’s stewardship. And when we’re overwhelmed, may we return to You, the perfect Father, full of both grace and truth. Amen.
