Famous at Home

The Will of God for You (and Your Child's Life) with Jordan Raynor


Listen Later

This episode has so much purpose, content, and hope for families. It could even serve as a homeschooling study for your kids.

Jordan Raynor says, “Most Christians spend more time thinking about a one-week vacation than they do thinking about eternity…but it inevitably will lead us to settle for these wishy-washy half-truths about heaven.” Raynor goes on to explain, “Here’s why it matters we as adults and parents get this (truths about heaven) right. If we get this right, our kids’ hope for the future will be so much more real and so much more concrete, and their purpose in the present will become so much richer.”

If you want a theological education for your kids as it relates to finding their purpose, this episode is absolute gold.

If you’re struggling with whether your work has eternal impact, this episode is for you.

If you’re looking for a biblical framework for how to set a family vision for building for the Kingdom of God, Raynor provides the path forward.

In Jordan’s new book, The Sacredness of Secular Work: 4 Ways Your Job Matters (Even When You’re Not Sharing the Gospel), Raynor defines the terms sacred and secular and why it matters for us, and our children, to understand them. In our conversation, he addresses parents and kids through this lens and cites Charles Spurgeon, who once said, “For the Christian, nothing is secular, and everything is sacred.” Raynor encourages us: “Imagine the freedom if every child understood that when the Holy Spirit is in them, everywhere they go is sacred.”

Here are some hot topics we discuss:
  • Your life and work are a vehicle for bringing God eternal pleasure
  • Your life and work matter for eternity because it’s how we earn rewards and eternal treasures
  • Your life and work matter because through them you scratch off the thin veil between heaven and earth
  • How you can leverage your life and work to the instrumental end of making disciples
