HARNESSING YOUR SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE PT 2
Dear Parents,
I just want you to know that I am your biggest fan! You as a parent
stand on the front lines when it comes to raising your teen and take the
hardest hits. And you need to know that you aren’t alone. Someone is
rooting for you and it’s me. That’s why understanding the role you as
parents have in the spiritual training of your teen is so important.
It can get a little mixed up at times. I know it’s easier to let
someone else argue your point for you, but you need to know that your
teen listens to you much more than anyone else. It doesn’t seem like it,
I know, but it is true.
I want to be your backup, not the other way around.
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
This verse is not a guarantee that your child will “repeat” your faith
but it is an assurance that your influence in their lives makes an
impression that they can’t forget. It is my goal to cheer you on as you
make your mark of influence on the soul of your teenager. Let’s work
together to paint such a beautiful picture of Christ that they run to
Him with their trust.
Have God-confidence in your ability to train them to become Godly adults. After all, He chose you to be their parent.
Walking this journey with you,
Ricc
