Raising Godly Warriors

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 1 | Assault On Children

January 16, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Titus 2:1–5, Psalm 127, Hebrews 4:2

The family is under spiritual attack, and a confused culture is redefining the identities of our children. The very foundations of home, marriage, and parenthood are being shaken—and the Church can no longer remain silent. In the new series "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches that children are not accidents or burdens, but blessings—arrows in the hands of mighty warriors. Arrows must be shaped, trained, and aimed with purpose. God’s Word makes it clear that raising godly children isn’t something we learn on the fly - it’s something we are taught and equipped for through the home and the Church. Learn how to partner with God to raise sons and daughters who know their identity in Christ and carry His truth into the world.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 2 | Spiritual Warfare

January 19, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Psalm 127:3–4, Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:1–3, Numbers 14:27–31, Numbers 1:18–42

In episode two of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches a biblical approach to parenting through the metaphor of an arrow in Psalm 127. There are three stages of a child's development: the feathers (ages 0-10), where we train through repetition and protection, the shaft (ages 10-20), where we teach, shape character, and strengthen identity; and the tip (age 20 and beyond), where we launch them toward their God-given target. Scripture teaches that the biblical age of accountability begins at 20, not 18. In Numbers 14, God held those 20 years old and older accountable for Israel’s rebellion, while those younger were still considered under parental covering. This is more than historical detail—it's a spiritual warfare blueprint. Releasing our children prematurely can expose them to battles they are not yet equipped to fight, emphasizing the parental responsibility to protect, train, and prepare them until they can stand as warriors in their own right.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 3 | The Three R's

January 20, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 13, Ephesians 6:1–3, 2 Timothy 2:2–5, Galatians 6:7–9, 2 Corinthians 5:14

Parenting is not merely about surviving each day—it's about preparing our children for all the relationships they will encounter throughout their lives. In episode three of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff outlines three fundamental principles known as the three R's: Rules, Restraints, and Relationships. The first R, Rules, reminds us that authority structures exist everywhere in life, from school to work to marriage, and children must learn to respect authority to prosper. The second R, Restraints, teaches us about boundaries and consequences—the biblical principle of sowing and reaping found in Galatians 6. Our children must learn that actions have consequences, that delayed gratification builds character, and that love itself constrains us from harming others. The third R, Relationships, reminds us that rules and restraints without relationship leads to rebellion. Everything parents do should be rooted in connection, spending time together, and maintaining open hearts even during correction. When we understand that all of parenting is ultimately about preparing our children for a relationship with God and healthy relationships with others, everything changes.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 4 | Things Not Child Should Leave Home Without

January 21, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Matthew 7:12, 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, Proverbs 10:22, Matthew 18, John 3:16

Many adults struggle today because they were never taught the six foundational components needed to navigate life well and build healthy, lasting relationships. In episode four of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff outlines six critical truths every parent must impart so that no child leaves home without them: understanding the Golden Rule, knowing God's love, developing personal faith, establishing healthy self-esteem, valuing the church community, and receiving the blessing of their parents. These essentials form the spiritual and relational framework children need to thrive. It's not just about raising well-behaved kids who turn into functional adults - it's about shaping warriors who know their sacred worth, walk confidently with God, and stand strong in a world that has lost its moral compass.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 5 | Recreational Dating

January 22, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 12:2, Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:16, Mark 7:9–13

What if the way our culture approaches dating is actually undermining our children’s future? Recreational dating contradicts biblical principles and can lead to lasting emotional, spiritual, and relational harm. In episode five of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies eight pitfalls of recreational dating, including the loss of parental covering, compromised sexual purity, emotional instability from repeated attachments and breakups, spiritual drift, deception, premature physical intimacy, and risks to future marital fulfillment. Parents are challenged to reconsider their role in guiding their children through one of life’s most important decisions. Are we allowing cultural pressure to shape our parenting while warning our children not to do the same? This is not about control or fear, but wisdom, protection, and love. By presenting biblically grounded alternatives to recreational dating, this message calls parents to re-engage with purpose—helping guard their children’s hearts, preserve their spiritual integrity, and prepare them for lifelong, godly relationships.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 6 | Discipline in Love

January 23, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Hebrews 12, Revelation 3:19, Proverbs 23:13–14, Proverbs 29:15, Proverbs 13:24

Do you discipline your children in love or anger? What if everything we’ve been told about loving our children has been backwards? In episode six of “Raising Godly Warriors,” Duane Sheriff teaches discipline from a biblical perspective. Disciplining children is not an act of hate but an expression of God’s kind of love. Withholding discipline does not protect children—it leaves them unprepared for life’s boundaries and consequences. Duane draws parallels between God’s discipline of His children and a parent’s responsibility to correct their own. Rooted in the wisdom of Proverbs, this teaching shows how proper correction—combined with reproof—drives foolishness from a child’s heart, teaches early consequences, builds resistance to temptation, and cultivates humility. The way we discipline today may shape not only our children’s future, but their eternal destiny. Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/raising-godly-warriors

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 7 | Provoke Not To Wrath

January 26, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • James 1:20, Genesis 2:16–17, Ephesians 6:1–4, 2 Corinthians 10:8, Exodus 20

Striking the right balance between disciplining our children and following the biblical command not to provoke them to anger can be a challenge. In episode seven of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies ten practical ways to avoid provoking our children to anger—by being consistent, attentive, fair, and gentle, and by steering clear of neglect, harshness, humiliation, favoritism, and unreasonable discipline. These principles reflect God’s character and the authority He gives to parents—not to tear children down, but to build them up. The Bible provides a clear plan, showing that parents have about twenty years to guide their children through three stages: training (ages 0–10, focused on obedience), teaching (ages 10–20, focused on honor), and transition (around age 20, when children move from parental authority to God’s). God’s heart for parenting is rooted in love—raising children who are Godly Warriors, equipped to fulfill their God-given destiny.

Raising Godly Warriors | Episode 8 | Blessing Your Children

January 27, 2026 • Duane Sheriff • Genesis 27:34, Numbers 6:22–27, Proverbs 10:22, Mark 10:13–16, Luke 17:1–2

One of the most important and powerful responsibilities of parents is to bless their children and not curse them. In episode eight of “Raising Godly Warriors,” Duane Sheriff teaches that nothing shapes a child’s future more than understanding and receiving the Lord's blessing. Proverbs 10:22 explains that God’s blessing is more than material prosperity—it is His favor, grace, affirmation, and unconditional love. Blessing is transferred to children through intentional words, loving touch, and genuine forgiveness. From God’s public affirmation of Jesus in Matthew 3 to the priestly blessing in Numbers 6 and Jesus blessing children in Mark 10, Scripture reveals a clear pattern: blessings are spoken, modeled, and imparted. When parents choose to speak life, release forgiveness, and affirm their children’s God-given identity, they don't just impact a single generation—they shape a legacy of faith, favor, and strength that will echo for years to come.
