Guest Speaker Trevor McMahan: The Throne of Justice: Raising Children in God's Divine Purpose

Send us Fan MailThe journey from brokenness to purpose unfolds dramatically in this heart-stirring conversation with Trevor McMahan, who shares how Christ transformed him from a homeless drug addict to a devoted family man with a burning passion for God's Word.Trevor takes us deep into 1 Samuel 8, revealing a profound parallel between Samuel and Eli—two men who failed their families despite their spiritual prominence. The sobering truth emerges that Samuel, having witnessed the devastating consequences of Eli's parental neglect, tragically repeated the same mistake with his own sons. This powerful insight challenges us to examine where our priorities truly lie. Are we so consumed with work, ministry, or personal pursuits that we're neglecting our most sacred calling?Drawing from Genesis 18:17-19, Trevor unpacks why God chose Abraham—because he would teach his children justice and righteousness, the very foundation of God's throne. With remarkable clarity, he connects the justice rendered through Christ's sacrifice to our responsibility as parents and believers. His own family practice of creating a "family altar" offers practical wisdom for those seeking to establish God's presence in their homes. By gathering weekly for worship, recording prayer requests, and celebrating answered prayers, even his youngest children have developed unshakable confidence that God hears and responds.Perhaps most compelling is Trevor's fresh perspective on Proverbs 22:6. More than general religious instruction, he encourages parents to seek divine revelation about each child's unique purpose and calling. "Before God ever fashioned you in your mother's womb, He sat down and wrote a book about you," Trevor reminds us, challenging listeners to partner with God in discovering and nurturing their children's divine design. What might change in your family if you began actively seeking God's blueprint for each child's life?
