008 - Parenting in God’s Kingdom: the Theology of the Family

God is love – a foundational truth. But how does this impact our parenting? Christian theology, an understanding of God's nature and purpose, guides us. Past generations often relied on 'because I said so' parenting due to a lack of theological framework. With traditional values fading, understanding God's love and purpose for families is crucial. The Ezzos pioneered a theology of the family rooted in God's Word, leading to the Growing Families ministry. This ministry equips parents with an understanding of God's character and the life-giving principles that flow from Him. Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo join Rich and Julie Young to discuss how this theology shapes effective parenting.Rich & Julie Young, hostsGary & Anne Marie Ezzo, foundersResources & topics mentioned in this episode:→ Parenting from the Tree of Life book and video series // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-life→ Find a ClassAdditional Resources:→ Assumptions that Affect Our Lives(This book explores how hidden beliefs ("worldviews") deeply influence our values and actions, revealing how understanding these assumptions can transform both personal, societal, & even parenting perspectives.)The Growing Families Website // https://growingfamilies.life/Register for a Class // https://growingfamilies.life/find-a-classOur Courses // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-coursesThe Bookstore // https://growingfamilies.life/bookshopContact Mom Ministry // https://contactmom.life/Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/growingfamilieslifeFacebook // https://www.facebook.com/GrowingFamiliesLifeYouTube // https://www.youtube.com/@GrowingFamiliesLife Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]
