Don't let the title of this podcast fool you. No one is asking you to give up your children. I don't believe that God would ever ask us to do that either, but today we are talking about how there was one parent in the Bible who WAS asked to give up his child and the faith it took to trust God in that moment.
The truth is that we face a lot of unknown as parents. Our kids grow up and become increasingly independent, and that sometimes brings up a lot of fear for us as parents as we realize that there is so much out of our control. We face daily fears about our children, our marriages, our jobs, and our relationships. We may not be called to physically give up and sacrifice our kids, but we ARE called to daily give up our fears and feelings to God and chose faith in His love for all of us including our children.
Lean in with me today as we talk about how much God loves his children and desires for us to live lives of faith over fear in our parenting journeys.
