In Setting the Example, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that parents cannot produce true spiritual fruit in their children by forcing outward performance. Scripture is inerrant, and God’s Word shows that lasting change begins in the heart. Through the father in Luke 15, Dr. Youssef points parents to a godly model of love, repentance, grace, and unwavering trust in the promises of God. Children do not need perfect parents; they need parents who bow before the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of sin, and live under His authority. Parents must intercede for their children, model Biblical Truth, and trust Christ to bring wandering hearts home.
