Ft. Steve Ward

January 20, 2024

Choices. Our kids are facing choices every day that we may never know about. They will inevitably make a mistake, or face unintended consequences

that could change the immediate or long-term trajectory of their lives. How will you respond?

Steve Ward, founder of STEPS Ministries, join us to remind parents of the four biblical truths that every teenager needs to hear, and how proactive

parenting may lead to opportunities to connect and influence in a way that leads to positive choices.

Ep. 2.6 - Self-Centered vs Gospel Centered Parenting

February 18, 2024

Control: When faced with conflict within the family, do you seek to control before you try to understand and empathize? Recognizing the motivation behind your need to control those situations can help reveal the status of your own head and heart. Are we seeking control so that we don't look foolish in front of others, weak in front of our teenagers, or are we seeking to love them by demonstrating the grace of Jesus? Mark Long helps us examine our motivations and look to Jesus in hope when we are in tough situations. ParentU is a ministry of Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
