Family Revival, Foster Parenting and the Fear of the Lord

In the final episode recorded live at Jesus Pursuit Church in Albany, Danny and Brittney tackle two powerful questions. First, they speak directly to foster parents navigating the challenges of building family culture when children come from difficult backgrounds. Then, they offer deep insight into the biblical meaning of “the fear of the Lord,” clarifying how it differs from the fear of punishment. This episode is full of wisdom, practical parenting tools, and spiritual clarity for anyone walking through uncertainty or leadership in their home.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to create a healthy home culture as a foster or first-time parent.

• Practical tools for building trust, structure, and stability with a child in transition.

• The difference between punishment-based parenting and love-based leadership.

• What the fear of the Lord truly means—and how it leads to wisdom.

• Why heaven’s justice is always about reconciliation, not punishment.

Key Takeaways:

• Lead on purpose: Whether you're parenting biological or foster children, the culture of your home should be built intentionally, not accidentally.

• Aim small, miss small: Start with attainable goals and celebrate every win—especially when parenting in difficult circumstances.

• Punishment isn’t power: True power in parenting and leadership comes from consistent love, not control.

• Fear of the Lord = fear of disconnection: It’s not about punishment; it’s about protecting your relationship with God.

• God’s justice reconciles: Unlike the world’s justice that demands retribution, heaven’s justice leads to repentance, reconciliation, and restoration.
