368-Parenting Teens 1-Intro

“Are you or someone you know in the midst of raising a teenager? As a parent, are the teen years right around the corner for you?

In today’s podcast and post, we begin a series that many of you have asked me to do, as we look at the wisdom required to raise teenagers. My first series on the Power of Parenting looked at the counter-intuitive philosophies of biblical parenting, and remains the most forwarded series to date.

Join me now as I introduce this series and invite you and your family into a transformative, sacrificial path along a loving, respectful, transition from childhood to adulthood.

296-Power of Parenting 6 -Parenting Pitfalls

“What would you say are the biggest pitfalls in parenting?”

In the conclusion of our series, The Power of Parenting, we will take a look a what I think are the four biggest pitfalls in parenting. In today’s podcast and post I will share how easy it is to wade into the quicksand of four common quagmires. Since none of us are perfect, none of us will ever have a perfect track record. Instead, our goal is to catch ourselves and make the necessary mid-course corrections.

Join me now as we take one last look at our parenting philosophies and how to lead our families out of some very common challenges 

295-Power of Parenting 5- Pattern and Purpose

“How involved should a parent be in directing a child’s purpose?

In today’s podcast and post we continue in our series, The Power of Parenting, with our fifth installment where we explore a common Proverb and learn the difference between a child’s pattern and their purpose.

Join me now as we learn to see beyond merely entertaining our kids and discover why so many people grow up without a sense of purpose.

292-Power of Parenting 2- Ownership vs Stewardship

“We know parents are responsible for their children, but does that mean parents own their kids?”

In today’s podcast and post we continue with our series on the Power of Parenting with a second philosophical consideration which dramatically alters how we parent. Are children a parent’s prized possession, or are parents entrusted to be stewards of what ultimately does not belong to them?

Join me now as we see beyond our underlying parenting philosophies and learn how to bring healing to our children, our family, and our world.
