Deep dives
Importance of Communication and Trust in Parenting
Open communication and trust between parents and children are key factors in retaining faith into adulthood. Research showed that the ability for children to approach their parents with any topic significantly influenced their faith retention. Apologizing and repenting in front of children when needed had a strong positive impact on their spiritual growth and relationships.
Understanding Different Roles and Submission in Marriage
Kathy Keller discussed the traditional roles and submission in marriage, emphasizing that these roles are not meant to oppress or undermine women's significance. Drawing examples from Scripture, she highlighted the importance of mutual respect and understanding within a marriage. By redefining leadership as serving and protecting rather than controlling, she presented a balanced view of roles in marriage.
Maintaining Vision and Boundaries in Church Leadership
Kathy Keller shared insights on church planting and leadership, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear vision and not compromising principles to please everyone. She highlighted the significance of letting go of individuals who do not align with the church's vision and the potential negative impact of compromising core beliefs for the sake of inclusivity.
We continue our conversation with writer, editor and speaker Kathy Keller. Why did their sons believe her and Tim should never offer parenting advice?! What did they learn at Hopewell, Virginia that proved invaluable when planting Redeemer in New York? Why did Kathy leave seminary convinced ordination was no longer a viable option for her?
