Parenting God's Way Part I
17:25

Parents of preschoolers and teens, or anyone who has felt the weight of raising challenging kids, will find fresh hope in this look at the father of the prodigal son. The message reframes success in God’s eyes as something that has nothing to do with a child’s behavior and everything to do with modeling the heart of Abba Father (compassion, grace, and unconditional love) even when one child is rebellious and the other is judgmental.

Questions to Consider
- How does viewing the father in the parable as a model of Abba Father change the way you measure success in your own parenting?
- In what ways might self-righteous or judgmental attitudes in us mirror the older brother’s response more than we realize?
- What practical difference does it make to treat Proverbs 22:6 as a principle rather than a guaranteed promise when a child rebels?
- How can releasing the pressure that “biblical parenting has nothing to do with your kids” free you to parent with greater compassion and less shame?
