Is it our duty as parents to pass on the wonders and teachings of the Lord to our children?

In this video, Scott Aniol discusses the importance of discipleship within families and cites Psalm 78, which emphasizes the role of parents, particularly fathers, in passing on the teachings of God to their children. He underscores the dangers of inadvertently hiding God from our children by failing to recognize this responsibility or by trying to do it alone, without the involvement of the local church. Aniol stresses the importance of the intergenerational context of the church in nurturing discipleship.

He further highlights the beauty of creating a tradition of faithfulness that is passed down through generations when we take our role as spiritual mentors for our children seriously. He concludes that the ultimate goal as Christian parents is to ensure that our children know, love, and obey God. This, he believes, is best facilitated when fathers acknowledge and act on their responsibility to disciple their children within the context of the local church.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV): "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
