Today on Summit Life, a question that needs an answer.

Parents, you got to ask, listen, this is a sober question.

Why did God give me these kids?

He did not give them to you for you.

They are not yours.

And I would strongly caution you about ever taking possession

of something that belongs to God.

They were given to you to prepare for the mission,

to prepare them and to launch them out

and to accomplish that, you got to take your hands off of them.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor, author, and theologian, JD Greer.

As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch.

You know, there are so many different parenting theories out there.

And it seems like every year they come out with some new study

that totally flips everything you thought you knew about racing kids.

And it can all be a little overwhelming.

So today, Pastor JD is helping rain in our focus

and reminding us of our most important task as parents,

a responsibility that far outweighs everything else.

It's part of our teaching series called God and the Rest of the Week

and Pastor JD titled today's message Ready to Launch.

So grab your Bible and let's join them right now.
