0:00.0	Thank you for joining us today on this episode of The Sword and the Trial.
0:03.2	Today, Pastor Tom and I talk about parenting, biblical parenting, the importance of discipline for children who are younger and getting older, how to lead your child through family worship, bringing them to church as well.
0:15.1	Some of the really important principles that we have to have in our minds and then how to apply those in real life situations.
0:21.1	I hope it's a helpful conversation for you. Take a listen. Welcome to The Sword and the Troll. The
0:28.2	Sword and the Trial is a podcast of founders' ministries and founders exist for the recovery of the

1:20.4	And so I can just, you know, have a pristine memory of how greatly I did it, you know,

1:28.6	And when you get older, you just, hopefully you get a little wisdom and you see mistakes more
1:33.4	clearly, too, things that I wish I had done differently as well.
1:37.2	But the Bible's not silent about that.
1:39.0	And that's the main concern that we have and what we want to encourage pastors, churches, parents especially to think
