Dear Parents, the World is Lying to You

[@robyn905]

Love where this podcast has gone. Please don’t be afraid to add more spice. I know it may make some viewers flee but this is so important to be talking about

[@amberhogarth3813]

I am about 10 minutes in & as a Christian, who is also an educator and someone who views children as a gift from God, I am disturbed by the viewing of a child’s development. 1. The science & data is there to educate parents to be able to implement the key knowledge of how a child’s social-emotional, cognitive, mental development is so important to overall health. The rates on depression are lower when we recognize that their development is the most important part of their life when it comes to how their brain functions for the rest of their life. This has nothing to do with keeping your religious beliefs on parenting out of picture. This has to do with the brain & cognitive health of your child. 2. I believe The Lord uses the science of child development to guide biblical parenting. I have not seen anything sinful, or that leads to sin in my years of research on the development of children. I think science can be a good tool to look at when it comes to your child’s development. 3. The Bible talks about (while yes, we are born into a sinful world), the little children do not understand they are sinning. Jesus recognized the understanding of what sin was at age 13. The Bible says that little children inherits the Kingdom of God because they are innocent. The Bible also talks about if anyone causes a little one to sin, may they have a large millstone hung around their neck. This is another example of the innocence and vulnerability of children are when it comes to sin. I’m not a parent. But I think this way of thinking can do more harm than good for a child’s cognitive understanding. Especially this young. Completely throwing science away is another red flag in my opinion. There are a lot of key evidence on healthy child development that are not sinful. If we as adults took something like human trafficking, we would put the statistics on the number of children being trafficked, the science behind the damage it causes. We wouldn’t shy away from the science of that. Because the facts matter in order to put an end to it. Biblical parenting is the number one, most important way of parenting. Jesus is ruler over every aspect of parenting, raising children, teaching children. I disagree that biblical parenting and scientific evidence of development are against each other.

[@kaiyamusic8995]

So well put!! I am a Christian, and I am also a social worker and these parenting approaches genuinely concern me. Telling a child to control their emotions because it’s what the bible says is just not developmentally appropriate

[@thiswildelifex]

Couldn't agree more! Telling a child they're sinning because they're mentally incapable of controlling their emotions seems cruel?

[@anonymouswitness3835]

Yeah ... also like, obviously we shouldn't blindly follow when some news article says, "The science says..." but that's not because science is bad -- that's because popular reporting on science is often skewed and exaggerated. Books and public-access literature reviews are great. If possible, reading the papers that a news article is referencing is great. Discernment means taking evidence into account, not ignoring it or blindly following someone else's interpretation of it.

[@anestassia6346]

My pastor once phrased the husband being the head of the household like this: When you go out to eat, at the end of the meal the server brings the check and gives it to the head of the table who is responsible/accountable for paying that bill. Likewise, the husband is accountable for his family in the same way

[@kylemurphin4175]

I was catching up on the podcasts & I love where the series is going. But as I was listening to this one, I got caught on a snippet of “advice to wives” that just didn’t sit right. You mentioned that when a husband makes a decision, the wife is essentially “off the hook” if the decision was a wrong one to make. When we read scripture, and particularly New Testament Acts 5 tells the story of man who made the wrong decision, in which his wife followed in his direction & she too fell to her death upon the lie. I don’t want to come off the wrong way because I agree with a lot of the advice you share- but God never asks us women to follow in the poor decisions of our husbands. We are to be faithful & serve as wives but our council & our character must stay aligned with God’s will. ❤️

[@AlohaAdri]

SO SO thankful to you guys for touching on this subject! I am a “baby” Christian so I struggle with being a new mom and navigating how to raise my son biblically. It can be quite daunting sometimes going through my own Christian journey while trying to figure out how to disciple him as well. I’m looking forward to more on biblical parenting💕

[@Mintbumblebees]

I’m there with you! But im a baby Christian and my sons aren’t babies so they are learning this with me and I have just been surrendering motherhood to the lord and he’s been guiding me in the way to do so because Milena and Jordan aren’t saying anything new they are just saying what god says in the Bible for the most part

[@sandra_bester]

I am a born again Christian by the grace of Jesus Christ, but my husband is not, in fact he gets very upset when I mention the gospel or anything faith related. We have two young boys, I teach them according to the Bible, but knowing what God's word says about a man as the head of the house, I often wonder how that works in a home where the husband is not a saved believer? I honour my husband as the leader, but at the same time I desire Christian leadership from my husband more than anything

I have a second cousin who was in a similar situation. She became a believer after she got married. She has since raised four boys, all of whom are now grown and love the Lord. It can be done! Even though I have a believing husband I look to her as inspiration to continue teaching my children even if I have to take the lead on it. I hope this encourages you!

[@denisegarcia3166]

I was in a similar situation as you, gave my life to Christ a year into our marriage. It wasnt always easy and as much as I wanted a leader I had to give my husband grace since he didn't know the Lord yet. I would encourage my husband to lead but if he didn't I would try not to pressure him. I encourage you to keep paying for your husband, my husband too would become angry with me at even talking about the Lord but by the grace of God after 5 years of praying he has given his life to Christ and even now is still learning to take that role. Hang in there, God is good and faithful❤

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Needed to hear this today! My husband and I have been praying about the timing for our second baby, when is the right time, should we start trying, should we wait for a certain month, etc- and sometimes we just laugh because we’re like… Who are we to think we can plan what MONTH our child will be born? 😂 Even if we “planned the conception month”, who’s to say that baby won’t come a month or two early? It’s just so silly sometimes that we think we have control! 😂

[@patxy13]

Simply professing that everyone, specifically women, should prioritize having children, as many as they can, in their lifetime, feels incredibly harmful. God commands us to steward our gifts well. Not everyone has the ability to raise children and give them a safe and happy childhood. Simply having the ability to have kids, doesn’t mean everyone should do it. Considering finances, health, age, ability etc. is an important /crucial step in family planning (even waiting to get married before having sex is a form of family planning). We exist in a reality where women make 16% less than men, there’s limited/highly expensive childcare, a cost of living crisis etc. When making these statements, where is the acknowledgment of these very real issues, issues that affect a majority of Americans and your audience? Lastly, the condemning of women waiting to have kids because of educational/ career pursuits feels extremely hypocritical. Did you both not go to highschool? People can biologically start having kids as soon as puberty hits but we as a society have decided not to do that for very good reasons. Most people get a highschool diploma. Many people get college degrees. There are many ways to glorify God, and everyone’s situation and convictions (as Milena acknowledged in her modesty video) are different. Obtaining higher education degrees, having career pursuits, or even waiting to have children because you want to travel is NOT a sin. I write this to share my point of view and provide encouragement with anyone else who is on a different walk with the Lord than Jordan and Milena’s ❤.

[@anonymouswitness3835]

I also think that waiting doesn't mean you aren't prioritizing having kids. The Bible suggests that having children is an important part of marriage, but it doesn't actually speak on how many or when. Trusting the Lord's timing is important -- I always just kind of laugh when people bring up the "biological clock" because my Mom was 32 when she started having kids, and she had 8 of them! I see far more Christians unnecessarily frantic about "running out of time" than Christians who are entirely uninterested in having kids.

[@melissamontoya8087]

I love Milena's content but I was petrified listening to them speak from the ambiguous limit of almost defending what a pregnant 14-year-old girl means...

[@kaylad578]

they’re not saying a 14 year old girl should begin having children. they were making a point that God has structured our bodies as women in such a way that aligns with the system of a family.

[@nicolemarie4216]

Such an important discussion! Satan is so clearly after our kids. With everything going on, it cannot be denied anymore. As someone with a background in psychology, I fell for worldly wisdom.

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

Hi guys, enjoying your discourse on this subject so far, tho I’m only about fifteen or so minutes in. I just wanted to point out - you talk about not taking science and research into account and almost talk about it with disdain. However, in a previous episode when you talked about mothering and fathering, you specifically cited a piece of secular research on the importance of a father in a child’s life, and heavily talked about the positive nature of the findings of this research. I personally loved that episode because my husband was deeply encouraged by it. Do you rate this research because it somewhat concurs with what the Bible says? I am assuming so. I also was wondering Milena - almost within a couple of minutes you disdainfully talked about how research shows women should wait 3-5 years before having more children (as if we should not regard this statistic) then pointed out that statistics of miscarriage and low chances of conception are higher the longer you wait in life to have a baby. It almost comes across as hypocritical, that you would cite statistics that suit what you’re saying and disregard ones that do not. I could be incorrect - perhaps it is all biblically based, and I am certainly not as biblically literate as the two of you combined. I do however think there is wisdom in taking into account what psychological and scientific research says because after all, as Christian’s we USE medical and scientific expertise to function through many parts of life, and we trust that information then. This is coming from someone who is a Christian, I endeavour every day to glorify God with my life and lead my children to the Lord. However, within that I prayerfully receive scientific research as something to inform and help us glorify him.

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

Just a disclaimer - I’m not yet finished with the video so apologies if you touch on these things later on. I do think there is merit to what you are saying in a lot of ways and I would agree with many things you’re saying,

I was wondering if you considered doing an episode on celebrating Passover instead of Easter due to its pagon roots and traditions. I am new to Christianity but it is something I noticed and am curious as to why Christians still celebrate Easter.

[@TwiFiveGirls101]

I am a 13 years saved Christian who celebrates Passover and forgone Easter a few years ago. That subject is pretty sensitive, and people are on their own journey to which holydays to honor. I would simply pray for them. Its up to God to put it on their heart if they should cover that subject on their platform. Seek other Christians who do celebrate passover, there are so many. I think it best we not try to push others to publicly discuss something so controversial unless they get a specific call from The Most High to do so. We are responsible for our own faith so we don't need every Christian leader or content creator to discuss all things. Seek God first, even if you are alone in this for many years.

[@daphne-w98]

Hi, please consider watching “Calculating Easter/Pascha” by Patristix, it will only take 9 minutes. Even though you’re likely not Orthodox, it’s interesting historical information that I think would enhance your contemplation on the subject, even if you decide to disagree.

I am asking because I would like to hear that discussion, as I am someone who is genuinely curious as to why there are not more Christians questioning this. It’s very strange to me that this is considered a controversial opinion. It’s this type of thing that I know personally made me question the church. Being raised agnostic so many things didn’t add up to me that it kept me from believing. I am trying to grow in my faith and I want to be more involved with my church, but when people just celebrate Easter knowing it’s true meaning I have to ask why is the church pushing this?

[@rebekahlyon4969]

my husband and I would love to hear your biblical thoughts on spanking

[@RCGWho]

I don't know what they believe currently. Here's my conviction based on someone who was spanked and did spank. 1. Never, never, never spank angry or as a last resort when all your buttons have been pushed. You must be calm and doing it for the child's best interest, not to let out your frustration. 2. Have set things uou spank for like lying and defiance. Not for every little thing. 3. Most spanking should happen up to age 6 or 8 and then end by 10 or 12 at the latest. Littles don't get verbal discourse and lectures. They understand a swat. The older they get, the more verbal training and instruction and natural consequences they should receive. 4. Always approach the whole matter in such an attitude that it would be good and natural to end with prayer and a hug. 5. Apologize and change if you are breaking these guidelines or even stop spanking until you repent and change if you have anger problems. I think all the biblical verses are in proverbs. The references vary but go to bible gateway and search rod, foolishness is bound in the heart of a child. I guess there are 7 proverbs. Gentle parenting advocates dismiss them. I don't know what their angle is. I recommend reading Proverbs 23 in various translations on bible gateway or blue letter bible.

[@rebekahlyon4969]

@@RCGWho I appreciate the feedback. although the rod in the bible people claim that is spanking the child is a rod of guidance not hitting. the Lord chastises us out of love, words, correction IN conviction. he does not advocate hitting. I was spanked when i was little as well up till i was like 13-14. i never saw that as “oh mom and dad just love me” a child cannot perceive love through hitting. it confuses them. we tell out kids not to hit but then we hit their butts hard and then turn around and tell them not to hit? its very hypocritical in my opinion. im am not an advocate for gentle parenting, my husband and i just scratched the service of biblical discipline and we just cannot biblically justify from the Word of God to hit our children. i agree as far as apology and if you decide to spank dont do it in anger or you can get carried away. but a child doesn’t understand you arent doing out of anger. again, i was spanked and it always ended with a hug and “we spanked you because we love you” but it never got across to me or my siblings. we just hold a conviction against it and If there is a conviction there is something God is trying to speak. **this is coming in love not an argument**

So does the father determine how to discipline the kids and the wife doesn't have to answer for it if he is wrong in how he does this? Does the mother get a say here? This doesn't seem right to me.

[@RCGWho]

Most women tend to take ownership of the children and control everything. The husband is responsible before God first. The only time a wife should question his authority is if he's in outright sin, like yelling constantly or demeaning them or physically abusing them. But we shouldn't be nagging and cajoling because of what parenting trends on the internet say or what a parenting guru or book said or what "experts" say. There should be on-goingtespectful conversations about their children, their vision for their future, and a lot of prayer for them. (Side note.I know a parenting expert who has done a call-in radio show and written multiple books. She has 1 child. The experts usually aren't experts at all. )

From an atheist: I was sad to hear that Milena would feel like she failed as a parent if her child were to grow up and become an atheist or join a different religion. You can’t control what your child decides to do once they are grown and out of the house. Also that they need to “know how sinful they are.” It is so so damaging for a child to be instilled with the belief that they are a sinner, that in their nature they are wrong and have to prove that they are worthy enough to go to heaven. Without a doubt, that belief instilled early on will affect self esteem and/or emotional availability. Sadly there is so much shaming in raising children in strict Christianity. Just my thoughts.

[@lizshafier]

That’s the beauty of what Jesus did, we don’t have to prove anything to get to heaven, we just put our trust in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and how He really did what He said He did, which is He paid our debt of sin and death in full. Putting our trust in Jesus turns us from sinners into righteous children of God. That’s the beauty of Gods plan for all of us, even you.

But the truth is that in God in Christ Jesus we are made whole and without blemish. So as imperfect human beings we can find hope and confidence in Christ. People need Jesus. A Savior. And the one that makes us whole. Our confidence is in Christ not in ourselves. I hope that this helps you view what she said in a different way.

I was raised kind of like how you describe it (by well intentioned parents whom I love!) and it’s not what Milena and Jordan are doing so I think you may be misunderstanding it. My faith, I’m happy to say, is intact but God did have to carve that mindset out. There’s a lot of relief in not striving for someone’s approval but understanding that you’re not perfect, He understands, and will cover you if you trust Him to. It’s very freeing! 🤷‍♀️
