God Fearing Kids and the Parents Who Raise Them: A Christian parenting podcast
You're probably checking out this podcast because you are a Christ-follower and you have kids… and you intuitively know that you’ve got a massive job on your hands. But you also see your role as a Christian parent as one of the most amazing privileges given to human beings. You get to fashion human beings into God-saturated, Christ-following, Kingdom-building individuals who make a difference in eternity… and all to the glory and praise of their Creator. And that ain't an easy job. We're here to help. Episodes are conversations about Christian parenting between retired Pastor, Carey Green and his wife of over 33 years, Mindi. They'll discuss what the Bible reveals about raising your children in a way that honors God and connects the child of your heart to the child of God. https://GodFearingKids.com

070: Teach your kids the truth about women (PROVERBS SERIES)
The society we live in is obviously confused about manhood and womanhood, and in particular, womanhood has been characterized in many distorted and unhelpful ways. As Christian parents, it's our responsibility and privilege to teach our children - boys and girls - what a real, godly woman is like. Today, we dive into Proverbs 31 to glean some insight into that task.

069: Your kids need a work ethic (PROVERBS SERIES)
Did you grow up in a home where you were expected to do chores, to help out around the house, or to get a job to help provide for the family in some small way? If so, you may have been given one of life's biggest blessings - a work ethic.
This episode briefly examines the issue of work ethic, why it's important, and how we as Christian parents should be (can be) leading our children into an understanding of how the wise, God-fearing person can bless and benefit their OWN LIFE through doing quality, consistent, diligent work.

068: Teach your kids to honor you (PROVERBS SERIES)
There are really only TWO commands the scriptures give to kids, speciically. They are: "Obey your parents" and "Honor your father and mother."
Here's the kicker (and sometimes the awkward feeling things): We parents are responsible to teach these two commands to our children and to help them recoginze when they are not fulfilling them.
This episode is about that.

ON THIS EPISODE:
Our definition of a child being “socially awkward” is one that may cause them to struggle with interacting with others in a way that reflects the love that Jesus taught. This may manifest in their behavior and be seen in their reluctance to engage with others, or in their lack of understanding of social norms.
It could also be seen in their difficulty in forming meaningful relationships with their peers, or in their discomfort when placed in social situations.
In each case, it is important to remember that Jesus requires us to love one another, and for children to be able to interact with others in a way that reflects this love.
It’s YOUR job as a parent to teach them in this area.
