Hurting Kids and How the Church Should Respond - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Chap Clark

Our culture says the key to well-adjusted teens is to get them plugged into the right peer group. Chap Clark, author of Hurt 2.0: Inside the World of Today’s Teens, disagrees by saying, “Two kids in a mud puddle cannot clean each other up.” The truth is that young people crave their parents’ guidance. Surprisingly though, when the Bible addresses child discipline, 90% of the time the reference is to train your children like a coach. Only 10% of the time does God call parents to correctively punish.
