Gospel Parenting

Trey and I went to a gospel parenting seminar this Saturday, and I really enjoyed it. There was a LOT to think about. I wanted to jot down some of the principles and concepts that were talked about:
- Children are interpreters. They are not just receivers or facts; they interpret facts.
- Children are not neutral. Children are worshippers; they will worship God or something else.
- As parents, we get to instill awe and wonder in our children as we point out all the amazing things that God has created/given us in this world. However, you cannot give your children what you do not have.
- Families are meant to be theological, sociological, and redemptive communities.

The video below is a clip from the series we were walking through as a group.
