In a world full of noise and distraction, how do we raise kids who love Jesus and live for His Kingdom?In Proverbs 22:6 – “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”This encourages parents not to be passive but to be intentional in raising children.  We need to be intentional in what we teach them. Intentional about how we  discipline them.  Intentional in everything we do. If we don’t do this then society will do it for us and our kids will not grow up with a godly perspective.  If you want to make the choice to follow Jesus then pray the Salvation Prayer by clicking below  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://chriscreary.com/salvation-pray...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to the Faith Fight Podcast on any podcasting app.Click link below:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/faithfightpodcast⁠⁠...⁠
