This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Lance and Nicole Rodriguez to discuss spiritual parenting and the profound impact it has had on their lives. Lance and Nichole share their story of loss and restoration from learning they could not have biological children, to experiencing spiritual parenting, and from there, recognizing how God created an opportunity within this sorrow to cultivate a spiritual family. They touch on the challenges that arise in spiritual parenting, the importance of receiving love before offering it to others, but most of all, the fruits that have grown out of this place of surrender.

 

Key Points:

• Receiving love and healing is essential before offering it to others as a spiritual parent.
• Loss and suffering can lead to unexpected blessings.
• Spiritual parenting can be messy and challenging, but is also transformational and fulfilling.
• Building a spiritual family requires openness, vulnerability, and a willingness to enter into the pain and joy of others. It also means creating a safe and loving space for young people to grow and discover their identity in Christ.
• Spiritual parenting is a ministry that evolves and requires ongoing prayer, discernment, and reliance on God's grace.
