You cannot pass on faith like a genetic trait. But you can create an environment where faith takes root. Seven days of honest conversation about the hardest job on earth.
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)Parenting is the most important thing you will ever do and the thing you are least prepared for. Not practically. Spiritually. You can change a diaper. You can pack a lunch. You can drive to soccer practice. But how do you raise a child who actually knows God, not just knows about Him?
The church has a lot of advice. Some of it is good. Some of it is terrible. And most of it makes parents feel like they are failing because they cannot keep up with an impossible standard.
This series is not about perfect parenting. It is about honest parenting. The kind that admits when you do not have the answers. The kind that apologizes to your kids when you mess up. The kind that prays over them even when you are not sure you are praying right.
Each day addresses the hardest parts of parenting with honesty and grace
With honesty and hope,
