God has blessed Christian parents with children to raise up to His honor and glory. We are to see them trained and then to see them go out and replicate the process as He blesses His world through them. Today we talk with a pastor who has four children. His oldest is age 20 and youngest is ag 13. We discuss talking with our children and listening carefully. Examples are given of how to handle when disruptions occur in communication. We avoid a cookie cutter approach. Even in education, its clear that one rigid model does not necessarily work for all families. As you listen to this interview, ask yourself "how" you view your children. That is - what assumptions do you bring into your perception of your children. In particular, their spiritual life. Do you raise them as Christians? Or do you raise them as pagans, awaiting the (almost magical) day that they have a crisis experience and to you, they change their spiritual status? Our guest relates a practice that his own dad practiced then there was a breakdown in communication in his home, growing up, and how his Dad reacted and what he did. Be encouraged, dear parent. While raising "kids" is hard work, its a process well worth the time and effort. Participants: Pastor Ben Miller, Dan Elmendorf
