What if some of the goals Christian parents have pursued for generations need to be reconsidered?
Most parents want the same things for their children: a good education, a successful career, financial stability, and opportunities they may never have had themselves.
Those all sound like worthy goals.
But what if, in pursuing those goals, we unintentionally neglect something far more important?
Today, Christian parents face challenges that previous generations could hardly have imagined. The battle for our children’s hearts, minds, beliefs, and worldview is being fought on multiple fronts—and many young people are arriving at adulthood unprepared for what awaits them.
So what should our highest goal be as parents?
Should success, scholarships, prestigious universities, and career opportunities remain at the top of the list? Or does Scripture point us toward something else entirely?
Today’s reading raises some uncomfortable questions—and may challenge the way we think about Christian parenting, education, success, and what it really means to prepare the next generation.
