How can we help our children understand and embrace their identity in Christ?

I'm John Fuller with Dr. Danny Werta, who heads up the focus on the family parenting team.

And Danny, finding my identity in Christ is something I'm not sure I have fully grabbed onto and fully understood.

How do we get our kids to grab onto that?

Yes, it's a lifelong process. And that's what we've talked about in our home, that you'll find

bits and pieces as you take on new roles in your life. You know, as a father, I've discovered more of my identity in Christ, as a

husband. I've discovered more about my identity in Christ as a teen I did. As a professional

here at Focus on the Family, as a vice president, and then as a friend to people I know,

and then as a therapist, different pieces come together,

and I truly believe we'll discover our identity in Christ when we go into heaven.

We'll fully discover that.

But in the meantime, we're getting bits and pieces put together in this giant puzzle of understanding what that is and being fueled by it.

But it's the looking for it that's the important part. And I'll tell my kids, be curious about your identity in Christ, and don't get

distracted by other things that tell you to find your identity in other places. There's this discovery

that you're going through. As you're pursuing

Christ, he's revealing more and more about who you are. And as people give you those insights,

pray about it, take those in. And really ultimately, you were created to bring glory to God.

And that's where you're going to find the fullness of what

that identity is.

It's been great conversations.

It's complex, yet simple, in that there's a purpose as a child of God, and that's

to serve him and to serve others.
