But you also see your role as a Christian parent as one of the most amazing privileges given to human beings. You get to fashion human beings into God-saturated, Christ-following, Kingdom-building individuals who make a difference in eternity… and all to the glory and praise of their Creator. And that ain't an easy job. We're here to help. Episodes are conversations about Christian parenting between retired Pastor, Carey Green and his wife of over 33 years, Mindi.

070: Teach your kids the truth about women (PROVERBS SERIES)

068: Teach your kids to honor you (PROVERBS SERIES)

There are really only TWO commands the scriptures give to kids, speciically. They are: "Obey your parents" and "Honor your father and mother." Here's the kicker (and sometimes the awkward feeling things): We parents are responsible to teach these two commands to our children and to help them recoginze when they are not fulfilling them. This episode is about that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you're curious about how to become a follower of Jesus, visit: https://MorningMindsetMedia...
