Summary
You may have heard the term, The Bible is the guide book or instruction manual for life. But understanding the scriptures and applying them to every day experiences, circumstances, and using them to disciple children in the way they should go is not always super clear or cookie cutter. Join Isaac and Angie for this clear and encouraging episode on how to utilize the Bible in these five foundational areas of parenting: decision making, discipleship, encouraging family members in walking in Christ, influencing convictions and beliefs, and discipline. There are so many decisions we have to make as parents and we need biblical truth to guide us. In addition, if you desire a legacy where your children are in alignment in their beliefs it is super important that there is unity in their view of scripture and obedience to the Word. This is surely going to spur on couples to have deeper conversations about living out what the Bible says in very practical areas of their lives.
