Pretty much every parent on the planet wants children who are kind, brave, and able to make wise decisions, so what more is there for Christian parents? Is our parenting only distinctive for placing church over Sunday sport?
In our everyday conversations in the kitchen or the car, remembering that we are a child of God gives us better ways to cope with the tears, the anger, the terrifying questions, and the predictably recurring issues.
For the past couple of years, Faith in Kids has been taking a parenting seminar around the UK, exploring parenting through the lens of our Christian identity. Whether we’ve been in Belfast or Birmingham, Maidstone or Maidenhead, the questions we get from parents are very similar. All of us want to show our children the wonder of living for Christ. All of us feel inadequate to the task. All of us are reassured that our children’s eternity rests with Christ and not us.
