April 25, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 3 - 3:30 PM Session   How Involved Should Your Parents Be in Your Life (Gen. 24) - Glenn Hitchcock   The lecture examines parental involvement and faith through Genesis 24, focusing on Abraham. It begins by defining a parent, including both biological and adoptive. The core centers on God’s promise to Abraham to make him a great nation, and how Abraham, in old age, took faithful steps to secure a wife for his son Isaac to ensure the promise continued. He explains five elements of a promise, using God’s covenant with Abraham as the main example. The narrative follows Abraham’s trusted servant on his mission to find Isaac a wife, emphasizing faith, prayer, and patience. Rebecca, who becomes Isaac’s wife, is highlighted as a model of faith and hospitality. The lecture concludes by drawing parallels to modern parenting, advocating high parental involvement marked by guidance, mutual respect, and spiritual support, while allowing children freedom to make their own choices.   Duration 39:48
