The Pastors tackle this listener-submitted topic of tough love, especially within the confines of parenthood. While there is a need to parent rightly, there are great implications of discipline that stretch beyond the scope of a parent/child relationship.
Scripture is replete with the narrative of God's being glorified while using love to accomplish His end. While some may say there is a need to have tough love, The Pastors consider that while love can seem tough, there should be no distinction. When motivated by a God-like love, our motivation for discipline becomes drastically reformed. We are no longer seeking punishment for bad behavior; rather, we are seeking that those whom we discipline will come to walk in-step with the Lord.
This was a great discussion & The Pastors really enjoyed getting back into the swing of things after their mini-vacation. We hope that you will check out Reformers Beard & Everyman. AND...don't forget to save 15% at both retailers by using our promo code: thepastors
