UnPerfect - Grow in Faith and Live Life to the Fullest

How to Ultimately Trust God With My Kids' Heart


Listen Later

If there's anything I've learned as a parent, it's that I am ultimately NOT in control of my child's outcomes. Today, I am joined by author/podcaster Laurie Christine. She gives us truth and hope as we answer the question, "How can I trust God with my kid's heart?"

In episode #29 of The UN-Perfect Pocast, Laurie Christine shares her personal story of navigating through the challenges of raising a child with a congenital heart defect. She discusses the journey of trusting God with her son's physical heart along with reflecting on the importance of trusting God with our kids' spiritual hearts. Listen in to hear her answers to the following questions:

Why Is It Hard to Trust God With My Kid's Heart?...
First, Laurie begins by listing the reasons we often find it difficult to trust God with the outcomes of our children's spiritual lives, ranging from fear to our deep understanding of this world's brokenness.

What Does It Look Like to Trust God With My Kid's Heart?
Next, we discuss what it looks like (and doesn't look like) to entrust our kids' hearts to Jesus, going into detail about intentionality and our knowledge of God's character.

Listen in as Laurie exhorts us in our parenting journeys through the lens of God's eternal Word. Also, click on the link below for a special resource to encourage you in your prayer life for your kids entitled"Confident Prayers."
