Virtually everyone is parenting someone. Your own actual children, your grown children, your grand children, your aging parents, your co-workers, yourself… People aren’t perfect therefore parents aren’t perfect and we often find ourselves “catch-up parenting”. It’s a perpetual process.
Life is constantly changing. Our abilities are always shifting.
As we age, it is imperative that we learn to be dynamic in our interactions and our expectations of the younger generations. What used to be true in our lives may not be true today. The way you know of doing things may no longer be the best way.
Part of parenting is knowing when to learn from the younger generations and when get out of the way.

Part 4 - Discipline - There is No One Right Way, But We’ve Found A Lot of Wrong Ones
Discipline is a polarizing discussion in our culture. Everyone has ideas about how discipline should (or should not) be carried out, and nobody agrees with anyone else.
Regardless of where you stand: discipline shouldn’t be something you do TO your child, but rather something you do FOR your child. In this entry to our parenting discussion we look at how we can look at discipline differently, with grace and purpose.

Part 3 - Everything Changes - Except the Things That Don’t
The world has changed drastically over the past couple of decades. And with it, a lot about being a child has changed as well - but some things will never change. Little humans need the same safety, love, and nourishment that they always have.
It might look different now, but it’s still needed.

Part 2 - The #1 Priority
In this entry to our discussion we ask the question: are you leading your children or are your children leading you? A good friend of ours likes to say “more is caught than taught”. It’s important that our behavior leads those around us towards Jesus.

Part 1 - An Introduction
Proverbs 22:6 says: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.”
This series is all about bridging the gap between the parents we had, and the parent we needed.
It’s also about learning how to bridge that gap for others. This message lays the foundation for our series by looking at the story of the prodigal son, and what side of the Father’s fence we stand on.
