Teddy Roosevelt preached the doctrine of the strenuous life as the way to win the ultimate triumphs in life. We need stories and balance to help our kids see the value as we raise them. In a world of over affirmation and helicopter parents and institution that remove every difficulty, our kids ability to strive is out of balance.
How kids can learn what the stories of the Bible mean is helped by what Luther called the rules of faith. When we use the Ten Commandments, The Lords Prayer and the Apostles Creed, we have the frame work to understand the stories and statements of the Bible.
The hardest thing to teach a child is contentment. We don't want to kill their curiosity, but a failure to learn contentment is destructive. We are living in a world that tries to lure our discontentment into dissent, and if left unchecked it destroys us. Today we discuss the issue of contentment and peace and the how understanding Jesus, and ourself is required to building a heart of gratitude.

I want to clear up by example and scripture as to how trusting God to do the unseen work in the heart is the path the less guilt and anxiety in parenting.
The culture and the world has taught parents to believe in the axioms of sports, academics and the arts as the path of parenting. Set goals, build processes, reach outcomes. Our over emphasis on reason and the rational capacity of our kids is what is driving your mom guilt and fatherly frustration. This episode I try to explain why we do it, and how trusting the unseen works of God as the cure.
The Netflix series Adolescence is a terrifying new series about a thirteen year old boy who murders a girl in his school. It happens over digital bullying and the manosphere.

Artificial intelligence has infiltrated American education. Knowing what is a valid use and when it robs your children of learning requires a biblical world view and a commitment to being a literary family.

John Trumby "The Anatomy of Genres" is a book that help us understand the human condition regarding the fear of death, as he lays out the building blocks for horror films.

Flag Football has over 7 million kids playing between 6-12. It is a super fast growing sport. I believe one reason it is promoted and funded is to insure the future of football fans in America. It reminds us that what we learn as kids sticks with us as adults and why Christian education of young kids is critical.
Christian children have access to the knowledge for dealing with bullies long before it reaches critical significance. Let the Bible provide understanding to deal with conflict, as a preemptive means to bully-proof your kids.
Christianity in many ways, offers us a wisdom to kind of control the chaos, the clutter of family business. It gives us a glue that kind of holds things together.
The Christian family because of this should shoot for being a visionary family.
