## Resource

Are you raising a child — or preparing an adult? Scripture describes children as blessings, arrows, and olive shoots. Modern culture treats them as consumers, projects, and emotional centers of the home. In this episode, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins confront the failure of child-centered parenting and recover a biblical vision of raising productive, responsible, joyful contributors within the household. You’ll learn: Why Scripture treats children as assets, not burdens The difference between training and merely managing behavior How discipline expresses love Why consumer children become anxious adults How to prepare children for marriage, vocation, and leadership Practical steps to implement this week Reform doesn’t begin in politics.It begins at your kitchen table.
