What can you do if you have children from toddlers to teenagers, and you feel like you’re not making headway with family discipleship? What are the top issues to focus on, and strategies to follow? The panel talks about going beyond family worship…ways to find one-on-one time with lots of kids…big mistakes…the role of the church…and the best things their own parents did.

Scripture commands that we nurture our children in the admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4)—but sometimes it just doesn’t seem to work. The panel discusses the place of spanking in the training of children, asking: is it not working, or is it just taking longer than you’d like? They talk about teaching vs atonement…rebellion vs immaturity…changing behavior vs changing the heart…and alternatives to spanking that often render it unnecessary.

Proud, hypocritical spouses are sadly not unusual in Christian homes. Unsubmissive wives who refuse to attend church — or unloving husbands who refuse to lead the family. They claim Christ, but won’t follow Him. So is there anything you can you do? Can you “fix” your spouse? Is church discipline appropriate? Is it different dealing with a bad husband vs a bad wife? The panel lays out practical strategies and biblical principles.
