In a world of Instagram Influencers, Snapchat Filters, TikTok Challenges and gaming sucking up our children’s attention, how do you raise a child to know, love, and obey God?
It is really as straight forward as seeing yourself not as just a parents, but as a person anointed by God to raise the descendants of his kingdom.
When you shift your mind to being a descendant maker, your relationship with your children will change. You go from being a list checker just trying to getting through another day, to an intentional parent guiding your child to find, experience, and live out their own faith.
Lessons learned by the Disciples as they followed Jesus is a roadmap for us that parents.
Our mission may not be as far reaching and dangerous as walking daily with Jesus, but our mission in Raising Descendant is just as important.
Cindy and Mike break down how modeling the Disciples can make us better parents.

001 Parenting To Your Child's God Given Strengths
God has blessed everyone of us with specific strengths. It can be easy to parent only looking at what our children do wrong, only focusing on what we want to change.
After all, isn't that what gets on our nerves...
"How many times do I have to tell you to pick that up!" has gone through our minds countless times.
But, when we focus on our children's strengths, we show our children how God has blessed them and how to use their strengths even in difficult times.
Focusing on their strengths prepared them to become Descendants that will inherit the Kingdom.

000 What is Raising Descendants?
In a world of Instagram Influencers, Snapchat Filters, TikTok Challenges and everything else pulling at our families, how do you raise a child to know, love, and obey God?
It is really as straight forward as seeing yourself not as just a parents, but as a person anointed by God to raise the descendants of his kingdom.
When you shift you mind to being a descendant maker, your relationship with your children change. You go from being a list checker (pick up kids, pack lunch, practice from 4-5...) just trying to getting through another day to an intentional parent guiding your child to find, experience, and live out their own faith.
Cindy Lemon is a Vanderbilt trained Nurse Practitioner who specializes in child and adolescent mental health and has worked in children's mental health for over 20 years.
Mike Lemon is a Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Detective who hunted online predators for over 15 years. Now, Mike focuses on preventing this evil by training over 50,000 parents, kids, and out involved professionals how to keep kids safe while they are online.
Cindy and Mike have been married for over 20 years and have 5 boys (thats a whole other story we will dive into).
For now, we want to lock arms with parents (bio, step, adoptive, foster...) to walk together as we do not just raise our children. We are Raising Descendants.
