Episode 38: Priority 4: Your Children

40 minutes

In today’s episode, Lisa and Laura discuss Lesson 5 of Ordering Your Priorities, Priority 4: Your Children. If you’re confused because it was your understanding that children come first, you are in good company—most of us feel that way. All the more reason to grab some coffee and settle in…this truly is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Lisa and Laura get honest about the stress parents are under, misguided goals for our children, and challenges we are facing in today's world. Whether you have children or not, there is an important takeaway for you today!

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

Philippians 1:6: And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.

Luke 1:37: For with God nothing will be impossible.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.

Ask yourself, “What’s my number one goal for my children? Is it to make them happy or is it to have a relationship with the Lord?”

How am I modeling an authentic Christian life to my children?
