Melissa Burt, author and educator with an M.A. in Theology, writes: “One of the most egregious #lieschristianparentsbelieve is that spanking is a biblical mandate. There are many discussions to be had about the harms of spanking; this video addresses the distorted biblical interpretation used to support it.” Watch the whole video here.

Christian parenting sans spanking, backed by Scripture. On this Instagram page Dr. David Erickson drops theology that you need in your parenting paradigm and Amanda Erickson teaches childhood discipline that reflects grace, and never withholds affection, connection, or protection.
Janet Lansbury Unruffled Podcast
The OG Toddler Whisperer. If you ever are (or will be) around toddlers, you need to start listening to this Podcast. Lansbury is all about building authentic relationships based on trust, respect, and love with these tiny humans. While it’s not a Christian podcast, her approach to respectful parenting reflects the foundational values of believers.
Celebrate Kids Podcast
This podcast features Dr. Kathy Koch- a favorite of mine in the Homeschool community. If you’re a parent looking for some wisdom on tackling tricky subjects like gender, identity, and even depression — all through a Biblical lens — then this is your next favorite podcast!
Real Cool History for Kids Podcast
Angela O’Dell makes awesome events and people in history come to life! And it’s all told from a Biblical worldview. The short episodes may be for kids, but it will have adults learning a thing or two as well! Great for school-aged kids and up.
Bible Study Fellowship
I have been a part of this life changing Bible study for 10 years. It is a free, in-depth Bible study for people of all ages around the world- in person or online. Click on the link to learn more about them or to download a sample study. If you have any questions about BSF, just reach out!
The Durenda Wilson Podcast
Lots for Christian parents to glean from this podcast. Most of her content is spot on, and always saturated in scripture. I say ‘most’ because she supports punitive punishments and speaks against ‘gentle parenting.’ I put that in quotes because when she defines gentle parenting, she actually defines permissive parenting. But don’t throw out the baby with bath water! Wilson is a 30 year veteran homeschool mom with 8 kids and much wisdom!
