Agreed. I really disliked this dialogue. I thought one of the big points with the spawn storyline was to empower him as a person and make him see that he is enough without the ritual. And then this is the only line we can say to him afterwards which is feeding into his fear that he is not strong enough to defend himself on his own? Sometimes I have a hard time wrapping my head around the writing.
