A huge warning to intentional Christian parents not to accidentally stifle their children from growing strong in the Lord but instead cultivate a Godly identity for who they are.

Isaac and Angie give practical advice on making sure your words over time are speaking life into your children in alignment with God’s will for their lives. They always end with an unprecedented-times parenting tip and today’s is on the importance of relational focused discipleship. Listen to the episode to fully understand and make sure your parenting over time doesn’t stifle their progress but actually encourages their identity in Christ.

Main Points From This Episode:

• We all pray for our children but are we praying with faith, believing God will move in your children’s lives?
• It’s good to check your heart if you have any limiting beliefs based on the behavior you’ve seen from your child? If you do it will alter your reactions and communication with them which could limit them from growing out of it.
• It’s vital to speak life into your children by being a good finder and recognizing them sincerely.
• Recognize how you see God using them and working through them.
• It’s vital not to puff them up but instead build them up, there’s a difference.
• Relational discipleship is the essential ingredient often missing from the parents who are believing but don’t experience the scripture in proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
