Welcome to the first episode of the Courageous Parenting Podcast with an aim of having a deep impact on one million families and their future legacies with The Biblical Parenting Model.

There’s a need for fresh biblical resources that have practical wisdom on how to handle the parenting issues in today’s uncertain world. We hope you will share this podcast with others as it’s the spearhead for the ministry’s impact.

This episode is about visioneering for parents in the new year. It’s so important whether you have a new baby, 1, or 2-year-old or a 14-year-old. No matter what your kid’s ages are, vision is crucial.

One of the questions we answer in this episode is, “How to keep motivated at doing mundane tasks well as a Mom for a long period of time faithfully.”

Key Takeaways From This Episode

• What should one do if they aren’t a visionary?
• Being a visionary is required if you are married and/or have kids.
