23. Raising Children in the Faith- Part 1

There is no better way to end our season than with a series on raising our children in the faith. It's such an important topic, and something we are both so passionate about, that we knew we needed a few episodes to cover it. We end our season with an AMAZING interview that you won't want to miss!

Raising children is hard and we crumble, fail, and cry a lot. But if we can remember that God is a God of love and mercy and have that same heart towards our children than we can, by our example, lead them closer to Christ. "We must first create a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule." (CCC 2223) God knows we will not be perfect parents but He calls us to pass on the faith to our children and no one can do it more effectively than us! That is truly a difficult task but He equips us with everything we will need."The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to produce an adequate substitute." (CCC 2221)

“Your life has a purpose and you have a mission in Jesus... Your mission field begins in your home. To help the people living under your roof realize that their lives are not meaningless, that their lives are bigger than they seem. That there is a God who loves them. Your mission is to them first of all...and then to everyone else you come in contact with. But they are first. Miss that, and you is the very reason why you even exist!”
