Stop Raising Brats: The Biblical Cure for Spoiled Kids

Stop Raising Brats: The Biblical Cure for Spoiled Kids

Who is running your home? You or your kids? In this episode, we’re tackling the uncomfortable truth: too much freedom, too many choices, and too little discipline are setting our children up for failure. From a Biblical perspective, we’ll unpack why “letting them do what they want” isn’t loving, how God calls parents to lead with authority, and the practical steps you can take to turn it around. It’s time to say “no” more often, take back the reins, and raise kids who honor God instead of themselves.

It masks itself as humility or care, but in reality, it’s laziness and abdication of responsibility. In this episode, we’ll help you evaluate where you fall in these categories and challenge you to step up as the kind of man who glorifies God through bold, faithful leadership.
