Wisdom: Parenting (Part 1) - Formed by Culture or by Christ?
-

Join Benjamin and Christina this week as they discuss the topic of parenting. In a world shaped by competing parenting philosophies, what does the Bible have to say about parenthood?
In this first part of a two-part series, they explore common approaches—authoritarian, gentle, permissive, and more—and contrast them with a biblical framework rooted in both wisdom and the gospel.
Grounded in Ephesians 6:4, the Gees outline seven core principles that shape their family and how they aim to train their children:
- Discipline
- Instruction
- Submission
- Perserverance
- Stewardship
- Grace
- Love
In Part 1, the focus is on the first three: discipline, instruction, and submission. They discuss discipline as loving training that establishes life-giving boundaries, instruction as forming both understanding and faith, and submission as a foundational posture toward God-ordained authority.
Throughout the episode, they reflect on how these principles play out in the early years of parenting, and how they prepare children for what lies ahead.
Part 2 will continue with perseverance, stewardship, grace, and love.
