Freedom Isn’t Free and Neither Is Bad Parenting

About this episode

Heidi St. John reflects on the sacrifices of Memorial Day and the importance of parental leadership in combating cultural chaos.

This Memorial Day, I’m reflecting on the sacrifice that built this country and the cultural chaos threatening the next generation. From violent “teen takeovers” to the collapse of parental authority, we’ve got to stop outsourcing our kids to the culture. Freedom isn’t self-sustaining. It requires virtue, discipline, gratitude, and parents who are willing to lead. Let’s talk about what happens when families stop discipling their children and why it’s time for moms and dads to step back into courageous leadership.
