Following Christ in the Chaos: 4 Biblical Principles for Parents

As Christian parents, we feel more overstimulated and overwhelmed than ever before. We are called to spiritually train our sons and daughters to be young warriors, but following Christ in the chaos of the physical and digital realms, amid distractions and deceptions, can leave us feeling inadequate and defeated. Whether you are a parent of a newborn, toddler, preteen, or teenager, this book offers four timeless biblical principles.This book is not a quick-fix formula we often strive for as parents. God makes our roles and responsibilities clear in his word, and this book aims to awaken Christian moms and dads to pursue his presence on a personal level. Your intimacy with God can impact not only your children but also generations of Christ followers to come. The four biblical principles that God desires from us are to train with trust, imitate our King, lead with love, and teach with grace (TILT).As parents, we are doing our best to partner together to steer the ship by tilting the sails as we navigate the wind and the waves of life. This book emphasizes the depth of discipleship and how to practically live out each of the four biblical principles as a parent. Chapters will target both personal and parenting levels with precision. You will discover how to read the Bible in context, how to approach prayer, how to discipline children, how to manage anxiety, and how to prioritize our identity in Christ.At the end of each chapter, there will be a training mode section focused on the referenced Bible verses, reflection questions, and a prayer response. The appendix includes helpful resources for spiritual formation. Thank you for joining me in this journey as we follow Christ in the chaos together.
