Every parent wants their kids to have a good name. But there’s a fine line between building a strong reputation and becoming a people pleaser.

In this episode, we look at what Scripture says about both: why a good name is worth more than riches, and why the fear of man is a trap. We share six areas to focus on, some unexpected but vital.

Don’t raise kids who live for applause. Raise kids who live for God, and let the reputation follow. Get practical insights for every season of parenting.

Here are some of the main points from today’s episode:

• Instilling strong character takes more intentionality
• Teach that choices have consequences, but teach it before they choose poorly
• Preframing how to respond in future situations prepares them properly
• Help them often in upgrading their vocabulary
• Choosing friends wisely is vital, but it’s as vital that you are choosing friends wisely as it impacts who their friends are.
• Put your children in situations where they can find good friends
• Protect your older children’s reputations (Listen to get the details)
• One of the best ways to help your children have great friends is for your to be constantly growing stronger in the Lord. You will then attract stronger people around your family.
