The Big Idea: Good parenting doesn’t major on correction or control, but on construction.

Proverbs 22:6

Parents need revelation from God for two reasons:

1. Without revelation, we will lose our resolve.

2. Without revelation, we will lose our way.

Ephesians 6:4

Top five things your kids really want to know:

1. Do you LOVE me?

2. Can we TRUST each other?

3. 5 Trust Robbers: • Judging by appearance • Sarcasm and put-downs • Expecting too much adult behavior too early • Minimizing their feelings • Assuming what worked then, works now

4. Can I be SECURE?

5. Do I have a PURPOSE?

6. Origin + Redemption + Design = Destiny

7. Do you VALUE me?

Correction without connection is passionate disconnection.

We teach what we know, we reproduce what we are, and we cannot lead where we will not go.
