Episode 259: The Myth of Good Christian Parenting | Kelsey Kramer McGinnis

About this episode

Kelsey Kramer McGinnis discusses the misconceptions surrounding Christian parenting and how to approach it in a Christlike manner.

We know there is not *a formula* for parenting and discipleship, but is there at least a “Christian” way to do it? Author Kelsey Kramer McGinnis says, “That’s talk about that.” Okay! Let's do it. With her book, The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, as our guide, today on the podcast we explore how Christians started to believe there was *a right way* to do “Christian parenting,” and how we can parent in a Christlike way without feeling like we are walking on a tightrope. Next Steps: Watch it here. Find her book here. Kelsey’s IG here. Join the HIMH Pod FB group here. Ask Laurie a Q on IG here. Read the Krieg’s latest book here.
