How Successful Parents Set the Right Family Priorities | S1 EP2

Who - or what - should be the center of attention in your family? Many parents make their children the singular focus of their family's choices and decisions. But maybe....that's not the best parenting method if you want to raise confident, successful children. In this episode of The Family Business with The Alessis, Steve and Mary Alessi reveal how they intentionally lived out their faith and made the hard choices that helped their children become strong, confident young adults. Listen and discover why successful parenting often requires making the tough choices that your children will appreciate in the not-too-distant future. What You'll Learn During This EpisodeThe only way our children will grow spiritually is if we intentionally model love for God and our commitment to a community of faith.  Family life should be focused around the activities that sustain the family as a whole, rather than making children and their desires the central focus. (Parents must refuse to give in to the temptation of allowing their children to choose their own way spiritually without parental input. Whether children want to go to church or not, parents must lead by example and make attendance and service in a local, healthy church a priority. Quotes from The Alessi Family “Every family needs to have a single focus and vision.” - Mary Alessi“He’s not just a Sunday God, He’s a daily God. “ - Steve Alessi“When it comes to a relationship with Christ, you cannot water it down.
