Loving on Purpose: Biblical Parenting

Date: September 23, 2008

Time: 06:30PM til 08:00PM

Location: Grace Church

Join Ian and Caroline Stake for this six week study to better understand how to love our children of all ages with Godly intentionality.

Here is a fresh look at the age old role of parenting. Loving Our Kids on Purpose brings the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival into our strategy as parents. Now more than ever, the need for understanding our role as parents must crystallize around how to establish the Kingdom of God in our homes. Teaching our children to manage increasing levels of freedom is one of our greatest challenges. Learning to replace the tools of intimidation and control is a priority if we are to train our children in love. In this six-hour series you will learn how to accomplish these priorities. With a blend of teaching, story telling and humor, Danny will let you see into his family as well as the numerous experiences he's had helping other families. He will lead you into an understanding of parenting principles and a practical application of skills and techniques.

Session 1: Introduction to Loving On Purpose - Changing our goal from obedience and conformity to self-control and protecting our loving connection.

Session 2: The Language of Empowerment - Phrases and key words will help parents manage themselves and allow their children to work on their lives and problems.

Session 3: No Fear In Love - We must learn processes that reduce fear and anxiety between us. These practices will help parents create a safe place for their children to build confidence and personal responsibility in their decisions.

Session 4: Building Personal Responsibility - Our children must learn that we trust them to practice on their lives. How we respond to their failures encourages them to either grow and learn or to avoid our punishments.

Session 5: Imparting Strength and Honor - Parents set their kids up to either learn to take orders or to learn to think and problem solve the issues and circumstances in their lives.

Session 6: Loving On Purpose Testimonies - This last session is a set of testimonies of parents applying what they've learned. Both heartwarming and humorous stories demonstrate the skills and understanding of Loving on Purpose.

Join the reformation that is transforming a generation! The family is the vehicle for generational revival. Without a different way of training up our children we will not have another result. There is no fear in love, because love casts out all the fear of punishment. Peace!
