In this deeply affirming episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, hosts Wendy and Terry Snyder sit down with Amanda and Dr. David Erickson of Flourishing Homes and Families to explore how gentle parenting aligns with the gospel. Drawing from their own transformative journeys and insights from their latest book, the Ericksons redefine "gentle parenting" as a courageous, Christ-centered approach rooted in empathy, connection, and firm boundaries. They offer a powerful reframe, challenging traditional perceptions of discipline by demonstrating how respect and trust reflect the teachings of Jesus in everyday family interactions.
This episode is a heartfelt invitation to parents to trust their moral compass and lean into connection over control. Through practical strategies and biblical wisdom, Amanda and Dr. David encourage families to embrace parenting as an act of faith and vulnerability. With grace and empathy at the core, they offer hope for creating compassionate, healthy family dynamics that honor both the humanity of the child and the radical love of Christ.
