Cultivate a Relationship vs. a Religious Driven Home Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

You want to cultivate a relationship-driven home versus a religious home. I think we would all agree that the Christian faith is all about a real ongoing relationship with Jesus. But too often without even realizing it, in the eyes of growing children, they see a religious home that’s more about a couple of weekly events but not enough about a relationship. This starts with our own relationship with Jesus which influences our relationship with our children too. Don’t let life be too busy where you're not actually cultivating deep relationships that are growing with your children and a home that daily reflects its inhabitants having a growing relationship with God.

There are a lot of opinions amongst Christian parents about how to best discipline their children, but every parent must do these two steps first.
