Summary
It’s that time of year when we start thinking about resolutions. Or at least we start thinking about the fact that we aren’t making resolutions this year.
Either way, I think it’s natural to take a step back over the next few days to evaluate where we are in life and what we want to continue doing and/or the places we want to make some adjustments.
It’s also the perfect time to start praying for our kids to know their purpose this year (and all the years to come).
I’m so happy to have Craig Denison with us today to talk about the concept of knowing our purpose and why we pray that over our kids.
Craig and I drill down on what our true purpose is in the Lord and how we can pray that for our families. Take a minute to listen to our podcast, and then, as we approach January, pray that your children seek God’s greater purpose for their lives this year, not allowing the mundane things of life to trump the mission he has anointed for them.
Happy New Year, and I look forward to walking the parenting road together in 2020!

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanov, and I am so glad you are with us again as we're |
| 0:09.8 | continuing to pray through the school year for our children. And this week we are going to be |
| 0:14.0 | praying purpose for them. And the first that we have as our reference is Proverbs 1921. |
| 0:19.5 | Many are the plans in a person's heart, but is the Lord's |
| 0:22.7 | purpose that prevails. And so that is a great word for us as we start thinking about purpose for |
| 0:27.5 | our kids and their lives and praying that for them. And as you'll know, I am very fortunate that |
| 0:32.5 | we have some really cool people that join us on these prayer podcasts and chat with us about it. |
| 0:37.0 | And today we have for the |
| 0:38.6 | first time ever, I think, on our podcast, Craig Denison. Hey, Craig. Hey, Cynthia. So glad to be here. |
| 0:44.7 | Well, I'm so glad you are here. Craig is the founder of First 15. Is that the right title, Craig? |
| 0:49.9 | That's it. Sure. That totally works. Okay. He is the founder of First 15. And tell us quickly a little bit about, if you don't mind, about First 15. |
| 0:58.3 | Yeah, sure. So First 15 is a daily devotional designed to help people spend their first 15 minutes every single day experiencing God's presence. |
| 1:06.3 | So we do that through guiding you through a time of worship and reading and prayer every day that you can do in 15 |
| 1:12.0 | minutes to help you kind of root and ground yourself in God's presence before you've gotten to the rest of your day. |
| 1:17.6 | And it's really, really great. If you'll have not check out, there's an app. You can find it online, |
| 1:21.8 | but we'll also link it in our podcast notes. But Craig and I both are under Dennis and Ministries. |
| 1:26.8 | And so it is such a pleasure |
| 1:28.1 | to get to work with Craig. Craig, tell us about your family. So before we get going, they'll know |
| 1:33.6 | your point of reference when we talk parenting. Yeah, sure thing. So my wife, Rachel and I have |
| 1:39.0 | two kids, two boys, ages three and one. And so we're right in that little kid phase, just kind of getting |
| 1:45.1 | out of having a baby. And it's been really sweet. Rachel and I honestly probably should have |
| 1:50.7 | done more of this early on, but are right now really feeling the need to get on the same page with |
