Questions & Tools to Strategize in Parenting

Hey friend! For the next two episodes, we are extending our topic of being planted to parenting.

Whether you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, Godmother, student ministry leader, or disciple maker of any kind, there are people we are leading. Our influence ripples our beliefs & actions, as a river, into the places we live, work and convene.

Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-2‬ says “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.” There is something or someone that wards the prison of our hearts and minds.

Even if I think that “no one rules me”, and that I’m my own boss, then I have allowed myself to be ruler of myself. However, without Jesus, we cannot gracefully model patience, gentleness & humility, to list a few of many.

Are we preparing our hearts and those that we parent or lead? Jesus has modeled how to walk “worthy” of the calling, even in the middle of difficult times & persecution.

‭‭I am so grateful that we have such a faithful model! Aren’t you? I am thankful that God loves us so much to have sent his son (John 3:16), and that Jesus loved us enough to sacrifice everything for us. This motivates me to fight the good fight of faith, because the one who paved a way, loved me first.
