How you handle this will likely impact whether you have a multi-generational legacy of faith or not.

Most Christian Parents would openly agree that they deeply hope that their kids grow up and want to be an active participant in the Body of Christ and looking even further into the future they hope their children raise their grandchildren in the Church. But how do you teach the importance of that to your kids? THe answer may seem obvious, you model it, of course; BUT when we look generation to generation simply going to church faithfully doesn’t necessarily cultivate a heart for God’s Bride! In today’s podcast you will be challenged and exhorted to evaluate how your heart posture is towards God’s Church, His people, and possibly even be inspired to be more intentional in having conversations that matter to instill the heart of God in your kids. If we truly change and obey the Lord and view His Church the way He does and we choose to practice the spiritual discipline of prayer for those leading and serving, our hearts will grow more and more in alignment with God’s vision and will –AND THAT CHANGES LEGACIES. Be sure to subscribe to our channel, but also on your favorite podcast app too!For all show notes, scriptures, and resources mentioned go to courageousparenting.com.Companies we love who sponsor the show:Voetberg Music Academy; the online music class that children actually love and make progress with!
