This session focuses on how parents reflect Christ’s heart through encouragement, gospel-centered parenting, and faithful prayer. We’ll discuss how to avoid provoking or discouraging our children, how to lead them toward genuine faith in Christ, and how to depend on God through prayer for their growth, protection, and future.

Key Points:

• Do not provoke or exasperate your children (Ephesians 6:4)

• Maintain consistency and balance between discipline and instruction

• Stay involved and show love to both your spouse and children

• Model humility, patience, and grace in correction

• Teach the gospel fully—trust the Holy Spirit to bring true faith

• Avoid “easy believism” and forced responses

• Pray continually for wisdom, salvation, protection, and maturity

• Model a lifestyle of faith, repentance, and integrity

• Parenting produces personal sanctification and divine satisfaction
