Summary

What if the greatest gift you could give your children wasn’t a perfect plan or polished behavior, but a life overflowing with joy in God? What if your passion for Jesus shaped them more than any parenting strategy ever could? Today, Francis and Lisa Chan reflect on over 31 years of marriage and parenting seven children, offering a vision of family life shaped not by formulas or fear, but by joy, intimacy with God, and wholehearted surrender. Rather than focusing on techniques or behavioral outcomes, they emphasize the power of modeling a life captivated by God's holiness and love—a life that overflows with authenticity, worship, and daily dependence on the Lord.

1:19.3	I don't know, a couple years ago, a few years ago.
