Do you know who or what the biggest influences over your children's lives are? It is you!
Show notes below:
1. The purpose of the family unit is to reflect the nature of God and his relationship with us in the earth.A. The Parent/Child relationship is meant to be the prophetic declaration of God the Father and the Holy Spirit relationship with the Church.
B. The spousal relationship is meant to be the prophetic declaration of God the Father and Jesusâ relationship with the Church.
C. By prophetic declaration I mean living natural example that gives us insight into the knowledge of God.
D. This being said, parents have by nature the greatest influence
over a childâs life than anyone else on the planet.
2. Parental influences
A. As parents we have the deepest and most impactful influence on our children
B. More than sports stars, music stars, entertainers, teachers,
coaches, etc.
C. Whether we want that responsibility or not, as parents we have it automatically.D. This is a tremendously weighty role in the life of another human being. Because of this weighty role there are some who, out of fear, decide to not have children. Not only reason, but one. They donât understand that though yes it is a tremendously weighty role to carry that type of influence over another human being, but that responsibility carries a glory and joy that cannot be found elsewhere.
E. Though it is a weighty issue we as parents cannot abdicate our role as influencers to others.
F. Many in our culture give up and abdicate our god given influence to others who either have a lesser degree of concern for our children or outright agenda to use their influence for their own gain at the expense of our children.
G.The entertainers and music artist who promote perverted and harmful content directed at young people and then say they are not responsible for what people do with it, are literally taking your child down a path of destruction for their own personal gain.
H. Jesus does not mince words on what he feels about taking advantage of young people to lead them down a road of destruction. Luke 17:2
3. As the Parents Go, So Go the Children
A. Phrases like, âYou are your mothers daughterâ, Like Father, like son. Like mother, like daughter. Speak of this reality that as the parents go, so go the children, whether thatâs good or bad!
B. The saying, âDo as I say, not as I do.â Is equivalent to saying listen to a hypocrite.
C. If we as parents live lukewarm lives in front of our children, they will most likely end up living with a love that is cold or non-existent.
But if we live abandoned lives under the grace of God, then most likely our children will live more on fire and surrendered to the Lord than we are.
D. We see this in scripture. Paul commends Timothyâs sincerity of faith and points to his grandmother Lois, and mother Eunice as the foundation of Timothyâs faith. 2 Timothy 1:5
E. Throughout the reign of Israelâs kings we find that the vast majority of their introductions are a summarization of how their parents influenced them. If the king and queen before them followed the Lord wholeheartedly the next son to be king did likewise. If the parents turned from God and compromised their trust and faith in God, so the son would. -

Gabe and Evie talk about the importance of creating "stones" of remembrance by frequently telling testimonies of how and when God intervened in our lives. In Joshua 4:6-8 the Israelites created a memorial built of 12 stones to remind them when God caused the Jordan River to dry up so they could cross into the promised land. One of the main reasons this was important was so they would remember tell their children the way God intervened in their lives. One of the key ways that our children will want to know God for themselves is by hearing what God has done in our lives.

When God created humans he created them in His image, both male and female. Each were given a unique expression of God as a creator or life-giver (Eve) and giver of identity and purpose (Adam). Join Gabe and Evie as they dive into these two unique roles that are offered by both fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, male and female and how each role plays a significant role in the family dynamic.

It is recommended for parents to get some time alone, without kids, on a regular basis. We need to recharge and reconnect to one another as spouses. But there is also a way to take a restful day where you can recharge and have fun with children of all ages! The Bible calls it the Sabbath and with a little thought and intentionality, the whole family can enjoy a restful and enjoyable day, even if you have little ones. Join us as we share our own experience and give a few simple thoughts on how you can enhance your days off with the family.

In this weeks episode we are starting the conversation about postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is more than just being depressed all the time but it affects each woman differently. Many women suffer from fear and shame while feel alone in this struggle. For many husbands, it can be very difficult to understand what is happening with their wives when they begin to battle the unexpected negative or fearful feelings and thoughts soon after having a child.
Special guest Hannah Kea (who is a mother of four beautiful and amazing children!) sits down with Evie to share about her personal journey and how she came out the other side.
