Let's Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage, Parenting, and Discipleship

When Jeremy Pryor discovers that God designed families to be teams on mission, not nests for individual success, he embarks on a journey to challenge the idol of individualism and bring his family closer together. You will learn how to strengthen family identity through everyday responsibilities with Jeremy Pryor's unique approach.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. What does it mean to be part of a multi-generational family?

2. How do identities shape and limit freedom?

3. What does it look like to embrace fatherhood/motherhood as an identity?

4. How can we use everyday responsibilities to help shape our children's understanding of identity, value, and worth?

"When we're in a multi generational family, the father or mother is always thinking about their grandkids, how am I raising my kids to be really good parents to my grandchildren someday? And so of course you have to be really thoughtful about how to parent." -Jeremy Pryor
