COURAGEOUS PARENTING

Most Christian Parents would openly agree that they deeply hope that their kids grow up and want to be an active participant in the Body of Christ and looking even further into the future they hope their children raise their grandchildren in the Church. But how do you teach the importance of that to your kids? THe answer may seem obvious, you model it, of course; BUT when we look generation to generation simply going to church faithfully doesn’t necessarily cultivate a heart for God’s Bride! In today’s podcast you will be challenged and exhorted to evaluate how your heart posture is towards God’s Church, His people, and possibly even be inspired to be more intentional in having conversations that matter to instill the heart of God in your kids. If we truly change and obey the Lord and view His Church the way He does and we choose to practice the spiritual discipline of prayer for those leading and serving, our hearts will grow more and more in alignment with God’s vision and will –AND THAT CHANGES LEGACIES.

You’ll struggle to create a new legacy through your family if you haven’t healed from your past wounds. But even if we’re healed, the past could have warped us away from sound biblical parenting principles if they were used on us in an unbiblical way. Listen and discover if you are a pendulum swinger in parenting. We all need refinement and the more we do the better parents we are. This is important for today, but even more important for decades from now by what it sows in the coming generations. If you love the episode please share it so more are impacted.

Never sacrifice your children for keeping the peace, while at the same time find a way to communicate truth in a loving way that actually causes your relationships to go deeper and people to come into alignment with your intentional parenting efforts. One of the biggest questions we get is how to handle extended family when their influence isn’t in alignment with your parenting approach. The Tolpins answer this question giving three keys to having the hard conversations that are needed. You can’t “go along to get along”. Tune in to get insights into having effective conversations that communicate what’s needed while deepening your relationships with others you love. You are the most important leaders in your children’s lives, but others who have influence can derail the spiritual health and even safety of your children.
