In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss why it's still important to discipline your kids, but in order to keep the relationship intact, you have to discipline through a lens of kindness — not out of anger. If your teen knows discipline is for their own good, it helps them understand. Tune in now!

Showing your teen that you will make time for them, no matter what it's about, will help build crucial trust. In today's episode, Mark talks about how the little things add up in long-term relationships and reshares some stories of how his mentors — and the people who doubted him — shaped his life and ministry.
