  • Summary

  • In this thought-provoking episode, Marcus and Jen delve into the challenge of PARENTING ON PRINCIPLE. It's far more than relying on rules, regulations, and prescriptions. We discuss preparing our children for the path, not the path for our children. This refreshing approach shifts the focus from an attempt to control every aspect of our child's life, toward surrender and service--becoming their mentor and coach. We explore three key concepts essential to this parenting paradigm: 1. Point Your Child to a Relationship with Jesus: Guide your child towards a personal and meaningful connection with God. Life's foundation--the ROCK--is found in Him. Begin first by helping them develop a deep, intrinsic understanding of who they are in Christ. 2. Model a Life on the Rock: As parents, we lead by example. We discuss the significance of modeling the values and principles we wish to impart to our children. By living our lives on the Rock of Jesus Christ, we give them an example to follow. 3. Teach Your Child How to Think: Rather than feeding them a list of rules, coach them with the building blocks of how to make good decisions. This involves asking good questions, and developing critical thinking skills they can apply an any situation. Encouraging them to question, analyze, and make informed decisions fosters independence and resilience. By embracing these principles, parents can raise thoughtful, Jesus-first children who can navigate life's challenges with confidence. Join us in this exploration of parenting grounded in values, and learn how to release control, becoming the ultimate coach in your child's life. It's a transformative approach that can leave a lasting legacy of wisdom, character, and faith. =============== NEW BOOK from JEN JONES NOW AVAILABLE: "Divinely Different: Creating a Significant Life When the Way is Unexpected, Unwanted and Unknown" Get it on Amazon: a.co/d/3KeZoUB This episode is brought to you by JenJonesDirect.com, where we help you level-up in your faith, your family and your whole health.
