You're probably checking out this podcast because you are a Christ-follower and you have kids… and you intuitively know that you’ve got a massive job on your hands. But you also see your role as a Christian parent as one of the most amazing privileges given to human beings. You get to fashion human beings into God-saturated, Christ-following, Kingdom-building individuals who make a difference in eternity… and all to the glory and praise of their Creator. And that ain't an easy job. We're here to help. Episodes are conversations about Christian parenting between retired Pastor, Carey Green and his wife of over 33 years, Mindi. They'll discuss what the Bible reveals about raising your children in a way that honors God and connects the child of your heart to the child of God. https://GodFearingKids.com


God Fearing Kids and the Parents Who Raise Them: A Christian parenting podcast

ON THIS EPISODE:

Every parent comes into their role as Mom or Dad with NO experience. There’s also no step by step user’s manual to help us get our feet under us. But there are role models we can look to who can give us an idea of what we’re supposed to do as parents.

Our best role model is God Himself, our loving and perfect Father.

This episode is designed to help you think through how God parents us, His children, so that you can take the perfect example of a great Father and apply it to your role as a parent.

007: Teach, train, and discipline your kids like God does

ON THIS EPISODE:

Many adults were never spanked and others were abused. So we understand how it can be very difficult to know what a "good" or “right” spanking should be like.

Scripture assumes readers to understand what a “good” and “bad” spanking looks like… but that’s not the case anymore. This episode we want to give you some quick guidelines we've learned that will prevent you from underdoing it (not really disciplining effectively) or overdoing it (abusing your child).

ON THIS EPISODE:

Imagine that you come into a newly built home and it's your job to decorate it for the sale of the home. You have these beautifully painted blank walls. You have a wonderful open floor plan. You have all this great canvas to work on and you get to adorn this home, whatever way you want to. You have an unlimited budget. You can just do whatever you want. Now, some of you would have a lot of fun with that. And you would think of all these creative things you could do.

I bring up that illustration to put you in mind of the creative process… and to point out to you that when your child comes out of the womb, you have a blank slate. You have a blank canvas that you, as the parent are responsible to adorn with godly character and godly ways of thinking and godly perspectives on the world. They don’t know how to think, how to feel, or how to act. It’s your job to paint on that canvas with the things of God… and you do it through good communication.

What is your highest ambition in life? Honestly, take some time to seriously answer the question.

The scriptures give us God’s opinion on what SHOULD BE the highest human ambition…

Jeremiah 9:23-24 - Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.

This episode we’re discussing what it takes to build a heart and vision for knowing God into your kids.

001: Godly parenting begins with you

ON THIS EPISODE:

The last few episodes, we have talked about the responsibility of parents to get their own spiritual life on track. Does that mean you should make that into a big checklist that you hammer through every day? That’s not be best idea. Instead, we need to keep in mind the WHAT and the WHY of what it is we are building in your homes and how our daily time with God impacts that.

002: What are you building and WHY?

ON THIS EPISODE

Think about your day, you make your plans. You're gonna go to work and at work, you'll be doing this and that. And you might need to go to the lunch with a friend during work, the wife might be thinking, I need to go to this store. I need to take the kids to school. So you plan out your day with the things that you need to do, and it involves your car, driving you all these different places. And very rarely are you thinking of the gas that is helping the car drive. But we all know that if we don't have our tank full of gas, we're not gonna be able to do what we plan for that day, whatever it is that we're gonna do, it's kind of the same thing with prayer. 

As a parent, you have these desires and these places you wanna go with your children in your teaching and prayer is like the gas in the car. If you have not, first of all, prayed through your desires of where you're wanting to take your children of what you're wanting to teach them. It's like you're out of gas and you're not gonna be able to get there. So we wanna talk to you today about how important prayer is. It has to be a part of your life. Just like you have to have gas in your car to be able to go to work. There's not an option. So we, we wanna encourage you with this important element of your life as a parent.

003: How to pray in faith for the blessing and favor of God on your kids

ON THIS EPISODE:

Many of the more important things in life require periodic checkups — a financial portfolio, your car’s engine, and your physical health are all examples.

With this episode we’re introducing a new feature — periodic “bonus” episodes we’re calling “Heart Check,” to help you as a Christian parent keep YOUR heart on track when it comes to parenting your children’s hearts toward the heart of God.

ON THIS EPISODE:

Hello again, parents, this is Mindi Green and I have a heart check episode today that I wanted to share with you. And I wanted to ask the question, who are you listening to for advice? As parents, I hear a lot from parents how they've read this article or they've heard this podcast or their friend told them some advice on their child. And sometimes I'm encouraged because it is good counsel that they received. But many times I'm saddened because it sounds like worldly counsel. And so I'm wanting to ask you as parents, who do you go to first when you need counsel? And my encouragement to you, my, my counsel to you today would be, God should always be your first source of wisdom and help. And as we've said in other episodes, our hearts need to be completely in 100% dependent on the Lord. And so are you going to him asking him for wisdom about the issues with your children, how to raise them, how to love them, how to teach them and train them.
