In this episode, we welcome Doug Wilson back to the show. He is a conservative, Reformed, Evangelical theologian and pastor at Christ Church is Moscow, Idaho. He has written many books including Mere Christendom, Future Men, Reforming Marriage, Rules for Reformers, When the Man Comes Around, and his newest book “Keep Your Kids: How to Raise Strong Kids in an Age of Therapeutic Sentimentalism”. In this interview, we discuss if he thinks we are on the precipice of an Awakening, why parenting is particularly hard in modern times, what fathers can do if homeschool nor private Christian school are viable options, why we should avoid nuance when it comes to the battle to raise godly children, why your Christian community should be deputized to help you raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, the difference between “empathy” and “sympathy”, the problems with making emotions our foundation, and much more.
