Parenting reveals as much as it forms
Stewarding what God has always woven
Parenting woven into the daily
Shape along the way
Cannot pass on what you do not possess
Like 6:45
Esph 6:4
Reframe
- From ownership to stewardship
- God knows and loves them more than you
- We are not author of their story
- Steward of their beginning
- Behavior to heart
- Created distance from God to us
- Inside out, not monitor behavior
- 1 sam 16:7
- May create a Pharisees
- From control to influence
- Over controlling parents would have worked
- Maybe I can do better in controlling more
- I cannot control who they become
- Prov 22:5
- Control produces robots
- Cannot control outcome but can control environment
Practical parenting
- Presence over perfection
- Emotionally, physically,
- Conversation over correction
- Get curious on what is going on the inside
- Get them to process hard things on their own
- Modeling over messaging
- Do what I say, not what I do
- Handle stress
- Grace over performance
- Heart of God
- Luke 15 – prodigal son
- Father never stops being ready for them to return home
Days are long
Final message
Years are short
Your voice will be in their head
Can it be gentle, advocacy, encouraging
