Summary
In this week’s episode, I felt led to share from my heart about one of the greatest callings and challenges God has given me, parenting.
With my kids starting a brand-new school year, I found myself wrestling with questions we all ask as parents: Have I done enough? Am I discipling them well? Am I pointing them to Jesus in the way I should? In the middle of that anxiety, God reminded me that He loves my children even more than I do, and that discipleship isn’t about perfection, it’s about living in totality with Him, every single day.
Deuteronomy 6 gives us clear instructions on how we should parent as believers and in this episode I talk about what it means to train up our kids in the Lord, not just on Sundays, but through the way we live, the conversations we have, and the love they see modeled in our homes.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of raising children, wondered if you’re getting it “right,” or longed for practical ways to weave faith into the rhythms of your family life, this one’s for you.
Share this episode with another parent who needs the reminder that they’re not walking this journey alone, God is faithful, and He’s entrusted us with His children for a purpose.
