Raising Fatherless Kids

182. As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord


Listen Later

When Joshua declared, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15), he was leaving a blessing for generations to come. But what happens when Dad is no longer there to make that declaration over your home? Can a mom take this stand for her family? The answer is yes—absolutely yes.

In today’s episode, Lori Apon encourages moms to boldly proclaim this truth over their homes and children, even in the absence of a father. Drawing from Joshua’s life and God’s faithfulness, Lori reminds us that you do not walk this journey alone. God Himself steps in as a Father to the fatherless, covering your family with His strength, presence, and peace.

You will be encouraged to:

  • Understand the depth of Joshua’s declaration and how it applies to your family today.

  • Discover the importance of the blessing of speaking faith over future generations.

  • Find practical ways to lead your children to serve the Lord.

This episode offers biblical examples and real-life encouragement. It calls you to anchor your family in God’s promises and declare boldly, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
