Parenting Like Our Father
with Christina Fox
Are you tired of all the parenting books full of strategic checklists, how-to advice, and quick tips? While some of these books are actually really helpful, Christina Fox, Sharon Betters, and young mom Melissa Weisenfels talk through what it means to parent through the grid of how our heavenly Father parents us, His children. They touch on questions like:
How can a better understanding of God’s character, i.e. His consistency, discipline, patience, provision, unconditional love and even boundaries, give us a roadmap for helping our children navigate the comparison trap, rebellion against boundaries, and more. But they also talk about their own feelings of failure and how to live with a broken heart when children reject their faith. Christina encourages us that as God’s beloved creatures, we bear His image—that is, we show others who He is as we glorify Him. Is anything more important to pass on to our children than this?
