42. The Blueprint for a Christ-Centered Home (Are You Missing This?)

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, Nathan, Jermaine, and I have plenty of memories of navigating a Christian upbringing. Together, they explore what it truly means to create a Christ-centered home. It's not about being trapped in a bubble of rigid rules; it's about nurturing a genuine love for Jesus and understanding the reasoning behind our actions. Their conversation is rooted in the desire to mirror heavenly values within our family life. They emphasize guiding our children toward a faith that brings glory to God in every aspect, striving to embody the atmosphere of heaven rather than a Christian subculture. 

They also grapple with the idea of intentional parenting, where faith is woven into the very fabric of our daily lives. It's not about just teaching doctrine, there has to be a modeling of faith so our children see it in action. They discuss simple yet powerful practices like incorporating worship and prayer into daily routines, ensuring that communicating with God becomes as natural as breathing. By creating a fear-free environment, filled with discernment and love, we hope to raise children who are not only well-rounded but fearless in their faith, experiencing the reality of God's presence in every moment.
