Presentation Transcript

  1. Performance Parenting • Performance parenting is by default • Performance parenting is easier • Based on “doing”

  2. Shepherding A Heart • Shepherding requires time and effort • Shepherding requires listening and observing • Based on “being”

  3. What Do Children Grow Up Asking? “Am I desirable?” “Do I have what it takes to be a man in this world?”

  4. “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son does in like manner.”John 5:19

  5. Behavior flows from character. Character is developed slowly, carefully and crafted by the hand of God.

  6. How Does Your Heavenly Father parent you? Jesus spent much time while on earth seeing and hearing His Father. Do you spend time with your Father in heaven to understand how He parents you? Our best source of learning how to shepherd our child’s heart is from our Heavenly Father.

  7. Shepherding • The In-Between • Observation • Intimacy • Obedience

  8. Shepherding • Observe your child’s character, not just their behavior • What are their strengths and challenges • As they grow, share more of your world with them • Ask the Father to help you parent your child as He parents you
