Today’s episode features Brian Dembowczyk discussing parenting and how to bring the bible into your children’s lives. Brian talks about mistakes that he made and what it feels like to feel unqualified to disciple your children.
Brian’s journey in the ministry has led him to a focus on equipping parents on how to better minister to their children.
Acknowledging that the dynamic within the home is different, Brian talks about steps that you can take in order to better minister to your children and how to set goals and expectations. Understand that it will not be perfect, and being comfortable asking questions and talk to your church leadership in order to better interpret these ideas.
As Brian says, this must be a top priority to everything else. There is a definitive urgency in order to minister to our children. It’s time to bring God into your child’s life. The urgency lays with the fact that the world sends opposing messages about what our identities are and as parents, we are responsible for sharing the truth of Christ with them.
The discussion goes into depth about how to make your ministering fit for your family and your household. Things like having a discussion around the dinner table, praying together, and layering in opportunities to talk about God. Brian talks about structured times and unstructured times.
With a home full of children with anxiety issues, Brian shares his story of how ministering to his children helps, and how to deal with grounding his children in the gospel. In addition, Brian talks about how technology has an effect on children and how to teach them responsibility.
