Should you discipline your kids in public? How do we navigate those situations when our kid talks back or kicks off a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store? In this episode, Brett and Erin dig into Ephesians 6:4 and address a tension many parents feel: how to practice strong, authoritative discipline without humiliating your child when they're losing it in public.
