Feeling the pressure to be a perfect parent? You're not alone. In this encouraging third episode of our Biblical Parenting series, we're letting go of the impossible standard of perfection and embracing the biblical call to be faithful parents.

Using the powerful and relatable metaphor of the Apostle Paul as a spiritual parent, we explore a practical blueprint for raising our children. This isn't about a flawless recipe, but about a faithful relationship aimed at one primary goal: helping our children "live lives worthy of God." We break down this mission into two key parts:

1. The TARGET: What is the ultimate goal of our parenting? It’s not just well-behaved kids, but children who grow into adults who love and serve God. We discuss how keeping this eternal target in sight changes our daily priorities.
2. The TACTICS: How do we hit that target? We explore three essential, grace-filled tactics Paul models for us:
   • Encouraging: How to be our child's biggest cheerleader, building them up with our presence, touch, and words.
   • Comforting: How to create a safe, "skin-on" refuge in our homes—a place where hurts are healed and hearts are accepted.
   • Urging: How to motivate and discipline not with threats, but by bearing witness through our own godly example.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re at your strength’s end, this episode is for you. Join us for a hopeful conversation that will equip you to build a legacy of faith, one encouraging word and comforting hug at a time.

Tune in to trade the burden of perfection for the freedom of faithfulness.
