Summary
Ashley and I accidentally stumbled onto a very hot topic on Instagram when we both brought it up a couple months ago on the platform.
We have joined together to have a conversation on what we've learned - and what concerns us - after hundreds of hours of research.
Gentle Parenting is a popular secular parenting philosophy that has been growing in popularity within the Christian church. But is it biblical? Many Christians who practice gentle parenting argue that it is. Ashley Kintzel and I unpack our primary concerns with the philosophy and identify incongruencies with gentle parenting as compared with scripture's charge for parents and children. Tune in as we discuss!

| 0:57.5 | summer off, as I always do, and that turned into a little bit long of a break than I had |
| 1:02.3 | originally anticipated. But I am so excited to be back with you guys. And I'm so excited to bring |

| 1:19.9 | started talking about a very controversial topic at virtually the same time and really just |
| 1:26.6 | both have a heart for this topic. And it's one that is |
| 1:30.7 | not being discussed really a whole lot by Christians from a perspective of critiquing and you have |
| 1:39.8 | what it offers, what the worldview of gentle parenting basically proffers to Christians. |
| 1:46.1 | And so I'm excited to bring you this conversation. I know that it's going to be helpful |
| 1:50.5 | to those of you who listen. I will say it is certainly not a comprehensive or exhaustive |
| 1:58.4 | analysis of gentle parenting. |
