Famous at Home

The Spiritual Development of a Father & Mother


Listen Later

As a parent, what are we truly aiming for? What really is the goal of all this stuff we put into a bucket called “parenting?”

And, at a deeper level, have I thought about how my own spiritual journey influences how my children live out their faith and find purpose for how they live their lives? Does this matter to me as I think about how I’m engaging the task of “parenting?”

In this episode, I (Josh) talk about what I'm learning from my own spiritual journey right now. From this, I propose a developmental spiritual growth model for fathers and mothers that moves us from a journey of being self-focused (fear) to others-focused (joy).

I have seen these three stages of spiritual development come to light through my own spiritual growth in the past few years and would love to share them with you to see if, and how, you might resonate with them. They are:

Becoming (internal healing and growth).
Present (external presence where others feel seen).
In community (inviting others into our journey).
