Summary
Don’t buy into “Let kids be kids” or the warnings of “Don’t let children grow up too fast”. As Christian parents you do want your children to mature faster than the people around them in the right ways. We believe it’s important that Christian children are ready to lead in righteousness versus falling to waywardness. When they mature faster, it’s easier for them to lead. We cover eight benefits to helping your children mature faster and give you practice examples in how to do it with personal stories. Why more responsibility earlier is vital, the positive impact of having an age-integration mindset, equipping them with biblical perspectives on the world and so much more. We are seeing the fruit in raising our nine children ages 4-25 with this focus. Society is undergoing seismic changes right now and one of the positives is that barriers of entry for young people to actually pursue bigger dreams while they're in your home are vanishing with AI. Make sure your children are differentiated. This episode will help you.

| 0:25.0 | Are they going to be ready? |
| 0:26.9 | And when I say are they ready? |
| 0:28.1 | I'm talking about are they mature enough to discern between good and evil? |
| 0:32.4 | There's so many aspects to this, but one of the biggest, I would say, paralyzing or |
| 0:37.2 | disabling aspects of our culture |
| 0:38.7 | is these low expectations that are on children and on kids. So we are diving into what is most |
| 0:43.9 | vital that is existing within your home discipleship and in your parenting, community, and |
| 0:50.1 | culture, but also how do you do it? Right? And so I know that you're going to be super |
| 0:55.1 | encouraged today as we're diving into some scriptures that talk specifically about growing |
| 0:58.8 | in maturity. And there's some exhortation, some challenges, some encouraging verses that are |
