008 - Parenting in God’s Kingdom: the Theology of the Family
Description
God is love – a foundational truth. But how does this impact our parenting? Christian theology, an understanding of God's nature and purpose, guides us. Past generations often relied on 'because I said so' parenting due to a lack of theological framework. With traditional values fading, understanding God's love and purpose for families is crucial. The Ezzos pioneered a theology of the family rooted in God's Word, leading to the Growing Families ministry. This ministry equips parents with an understanding of God's character and the life-giving principles that flow from Him. Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo join Rich and Julie Young to discuss how this theology shapes effective parenting.
