Authoritarian adults who rely on negative discipline strategies wrong believe that harsh discipline works because they have been reinforced for using it. Patrick’s father used a belt on Patrick’s old brother. Patrick’s father punished the child when the child did something of which he disapproved. In this example, Patrick’s father uses force and place great value on unquestioning obedience. He expects his children to obey immediately despite anything else they might be doing. Patrick’s father…

I interviewed Timothy Beatty who is the dad of my friend Jonathan. I chose him because he works in software engineering, but majored in marine biology while minoring in chemistry and computer science engineering. This intrigued me because in high school I took an oceanography class and fell in love with the study, I wanted to major in oceanography and minor in marine biology, but I figured engineering would be more economic.

The rubber meets the road when it comes to observing our spiritual disciplines. Do we genuinely believe the truth of the Holy Scriptures? Do we faithfully desire to obey Jesus? Will any of this make a difference? Undoubtedly, some form of these questions arises to our mind when engaging with spiritual disciplines. For me, this has been an area for me to humbly cry as the loving father in Mark 9:24 cries out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” Personally, I strive to take II Peter 1:5-7 seriously and…
