Let's Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage, Parenting, and Discipleship

171: Hunter Wheatcraft: God Redeems Messy Childhoods


Listen Later

Sometimes as a parent, we can worry that the decisions we make or even one bad decision might wreck our children for the rest of their lives.

Today I am joined by someone who has become a dear friend. Hunter Wheatcraft has served as Children’s and College Pastor at our church for the last three years here at Covenant Fellowship Baptist Church in Stuart, Florida while he completed seminary at Palm Beach Atlantic University. This is his last week with us, as Hunter and his bride Anna are heading to Texas so she can pursue her masters degree. They’ll leave a deep hole in hundreds of hearts in South Florida.

Show Highlights

Hunter is a steady, faithful man of God who loves Jesus and others so well. But you would have never dreamed he would turn into such a solid man based on his childhood. Today we talk about Hunter’s life. I want you to be encouraged that you don’t have to get everything right as a parent. God redeems horrific parenting, and he can redeem our follies as well.

Sometimes, as parents, we fear that our children’s decisions will change the rest of their life for the worst. But, it is naive to think that we know that trajectory.

Trust that the Lord has a plan for your children’s lives. No decision they make will be outside the goodness of the Lord.
