Beyond the Sermon Podcast

Here's today's question: What's a great way for parents, today, to access the wisdom they need to consistently shape well the lives of their children?

Raising children well, as any parent understands, is an inexact science. It can stretch you beyond your limitations.

We all soon realize there is no perfect family, no perfect set of parents. Nobody bats .1000. Most of us start with the greatest of intentions, but still, we make mistakes with one another.

To be sure, some of our parental mistakes are willful mistakes, especially if we simply “do it the way my parents did it with me.” Wise parents who follow the Lord Jesus Christ take some time to evaluate the way they were raised in light of God’s wisdom and word.

•Some of those historical parental practices that shaped your life we may keep.

•Other of those practices, we need to have the courage to say, “That’s not how God’s wisdom would have me do it. I’m not going to incorporate that into the way I parent before the Lord.”

So where can we access great parenting wisdom? Let's take that up together in this episode.

We learned in our first message in our #Wisdom teaching series that we all have some sort of compass that guides us through life. Pastor David shared that the absolute best compass for our journey in life is through God's Word. Here we can grow in Wisdom, life's priceless treasure. But, you may ask, how important is it that we PURSUE God's wisdom? Watch this episode of Beyond the Sermon to find out.
