Summary

I've seen more videos than I can take lately of parents taking their young children to drag shows, and allowing them to be exposed to sexually charged material—but on the other side of the issue are Christian parents who are often chided as being "over-protective." Today, I'll be discussing what God says about the role of parents and the outcomes of godly shepherding. Today's podcast is taken in part from my Bible study "Irreplaceable: The Life-Giving, Soul-Steadying Role of Mothers. " You can join this study by going to momstronginternational.com | SHOW NOTES

0:44.6	The Bible admonishes us that we are called to be examples for our children that we are
0:50.0	called to teach them everything we know about the Lord and to live a life that's worthy
0:55.3	of emulating.
0:56.3	Deuteronomy 6.4-9, which is often quoted with regard to child training, is probably
