“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
— Proverbs 22:6 (ESV) Parenting in today’s world feels like navigating a ship in turbulent waters. The cultural winds shift constantly, the waves of peer pressure are fierce, and the undertow of digital influence is strong. But God has not left us without direction—He calls us to train our children in the way they should go. Think of Daniel and his friends in Babylon (Daniel 1). Far from home and surrounded by a foreign culture, they stood firm in their values and faith. How? It’s clear that someone laid a foundation of faith, truth, and courage in them from a young age. That’s the kind of parenting God calls us to—intentional, faith-filled, and future-focused.
