God’s plan and purpose for parents isn’t another to-do list. Nor is it a set of rules and regulations. More than practical tips and techniques, parents need to tap into a life-giving, grace-dispensing, and joy-filled partnership with Christ.
If children are going to be all they’re supposed to be, they need parents who, together with them, will help them embrace and experience a relationship with Jesus that is heart-stopping, breathtaking, and mind-blowing. Parenting should never be an end in itself (Luke 14:26) but a means for fulfilling Christ’s will. This is what Christian Parenting Basics is about – discovering how Jesus can and should shape everything we say and do as parents.
The articles, podcasts, videos, and workshops in Christian Parenting Basics are both theological and practical. More than just suggesting how Christians should raise their children, the goal is to press into God’s Word to identify and clarify how parents can be conduits of grace. The foundations of good biblical parenting are kept constantly in view.
Ultimately, Christian Parenting Basics is about helping families worship, work and witness to the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus.
