Navigating Peer & Family Influences
Manage episode 447429059 series 2472308
“How do I handle people influencing my children in the wrong ways?” This is one of the most asked questions we get. It’s part of why we believe it takes more courage to parent in these unprecedented times than the last few generations of parents. Get the four steps Isaac and Angie Tolpin lay out for doing this well.
We want to evangelize, we want to be lights for Christ, and we want great relationships, but none of that should be at the cost of negatively impacting our children. The sad truth is too many Christian parents are sacrificing their children's long-term well being. While it’s not the intention, it’s a pervasive problem.
Perhaps we’ve been taught to avoid conflict at all costs, perhaps we are more of a people pleaser than we should be. Instead we should value training up our children in the way they should go, we should value sharing truth in a loving way that sharpen others and deepens relationships.
Perhaps in the moments that matter, it’s more self-preserving to not do anything when influences aren’t ideal, than trying to love others and your children well by sharing concerns. Avoidance of conflict to stay comfortable and preserve relationships is often the source of why this happens. This is an encouraging episode backed by the bible with practical insights to help you navigate these difficult waters as the world is increasingly swaying so many that are likely around your family.
