Parenthood

We started our new series Parenthood yesterday! I hope you left challenged...I know that God is challenging me on some things.

I am so passionate about parenting and can't wait to see what God does through this series.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. - Proverbs 22:6

I shared some ways yesterday that Terica and I are trying to lead Braden intentionally.

Here's a list you can use to study and go further:
1) Train them to manage God’s money. (Prov. 3:9-10)
2) Train them to carefully select friends. (Prov. 13:20)
3) Train them to watch their words. (Prov. 4:24)
4) Train them to be responsible. (Prov. 6:6-8)
5) Train them to guard their minds. (Prov. 23:7)
6) Train them to be generous. (Prov. 11: 25)
7) Train them to fear God. (Prov. 1:7)

In what other ways are you training your children?

I am trying to teach my children to believe in themselves and accept who God made them to be. Something I have never been very good at, but am learning how.
