The Guilt Chapter

Chapter three of Revolutionary Parenting by George Barna is what I have renamed the guilt chapter.  I feel guilty when I read it because it reminds me how much work I have to do. But I am thankful for the nudges it provides me to be a better wife, mom, and most importantly child of God.

Here is how Barna and his research defines the qualities of a revolutionary parent.

Revolutionary Parents…

• Fight against cultural norms
• Do what is right based on biblical principles
• Are likely to be single-income households
• Schedule time to spend with their children each day
• Intentionally identify their children as their main focus in life during the parenting years
• Make raising children their priority because of their Christian faith
• Have family conversations that bring biblical views into their lives
• Regularly engage in faith activities
• Are directly involved in the spiritual lives of their kids
• Have a deep love for their children
• See parenting as their mission in life
• Build relationships with their kids
• Have conversations about moral and spiritual matters frequently and easily
• Consistently honor God by pursuing their personal faith maturity
