In our newest season, Lifegiving Parenthood, Cameron and Anna will unpack the I AM statements of Jesus in John's Gospel. They seek to answer the question: can raising kids be life-giving? By grasping the truth of who Jesus is, we can walk in greater confidence, joy, and peace as we raise our children. They unpack biblical terms like believe, trust, and life in order to establish a better understanding of what it does–and does not–mean to flourish as a Christian parent. Throughout it all, we’ll see how trusting Jesus as our great I AM provides the strength and hope we parents need.  Jesus, Friend of Teenagers and Over-Functioning Parents by Melissa PowellMom Guilt and the Goodness of God by Brook PreusBasic Parenting Principles video course John 20:30-31John 10:10Galatians 5:22-23 Follow us @rootedministry!Subscribe to the Rooted Parent Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
