Gospel-shaped Parenting – The Voice of the Shepherd #13

Gospel-shaped Parenting – The Voice of the Shepherd #13

In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, the hosts dive into the topic of gospel-shaped parenting. Kent and Nathan, two of the 'three failed pastors' behind the podcast, discuss what it means to raise children 'in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.' They explore how parenting with the gospel in mind differs from cultural or traditional Christian values and examine the nature of a child through a biblical lens.

The conversation touches on the fears parents often have about their children's moral and spiritual development and how these can be addressed through gospel-centred parenting. With references to scripture and personal anecdotes, they highlight the importance of a child's moral education and how the gospel transforms everyday parenting decisions. The hosts also reflect on their own experiences in ministry and how their views on child-rearing have evolved.

This episode offers practical advice for parents seeking to instil gospel values in their children while maintaining a realistic and compassionate approach. Whether you're a parent, a church leader, or simply interested in faith-based parenting, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement.
