Summary

Main message: Parenting should shape children's hearts toward worshiping Jesus, loving others, and actively participating in God's kingdom by intentionally cultivating specific values and habits at home.

Key points:

  • The ultimate goal of parenting is that kids worship and love Jesus.
  • Parents also want children to love one another and to enjoy being with the family.
  • A long-term aim is for kids to engage in and contribute to the kingdom of God.
  • The ministry uses a vision statement encompassing these aims and four core values as behavioral targets.
  • The four values spell "WOOD": Worship, Obedience to God, Others-focused, Diligence — apply organizational habits intentionally in the home to form these behaviors.
