Description

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Kingdom leaders often expend tremendous time and energy building their teams and organizations, leaving little time to focus on their personal lives. Yet, 1 Timothy 3 reminds us that leadership starts at home. Those in our own household are the most immediate and consistent people we lead. In this episode, we share practical tips for leading your children and family well from our Christian Life School of Theology Global online course, “A Theology of Parenting,” taught by faculty member Dr. Lon Flippo.
