Parenting Goals: You are God’s Plan A for Your Children

Ever wondered if someone else would do a better job of parenting your child? Maybe a teacher, a kids’ worker, a grandparent… anyone who seems to have more patience, wisdom or energy than you do!

In this episode, Ed and Amy explore God’s good design for families and the incredible truth that you are God’s Plan A for your children. That doesn’t mean you’ll get everything right. In fact, parenting can uncover more anger, guilt and inadequacy than we ever expected. But our children need a parent: They don’t need us to be their Messiah; that job is covered! And we're not meant to do it alone; surrounded by a church family — a team of caring adults to help them see Jesus at work in their everyday lives.

If September has left you feeling exhausted, guilty or like you’re getting it all wrong, this episode is a reminder that God has not made a mistake in giving you your children. You are God’s Plan A — and he is with you in it.
