Shiloh Hendrix Was Wrong: Why You Should Always Take Your Issues to the Parents
Episode description
Today, we’re discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child’s parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it’s unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We’ll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there’s a problem with a child’s behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable.
