Are Our Kids "Good Inside"? Christian Moms React To Dr. Becky Kennedy's Parenting Advice

The Family Teams Podcast

Jeremy is joined by his wife April, Kristin Netting, and Jess Gonyea to talk motherhood and parenting advice, specifically in reaction to some of the ultra-popular mainstream parenting influencers giving their opinions out there.

Can the advice of parenting "experts" like Dr. Becky Kennedy be reconciled with a Biblical worldview? Is it helpful? How do we know what parts are helpful and which are harmful?

On this episode, we talk about:

11:00 Women react to "turning up the volume" when there's an issue in the family and both spouses need to get on board

17:41 The framework issue between modern, Western marriages and Family Teams

21:13 Parenting from the belief that your child is innately good

36:57 Are our kids destined for shame and failure if we don't believe they're "good inside"?
