In this powerful and practical message from our Family Strong series, Pastor Ezra Stanton challenges parents to shift their focus from raising well-behaved kids to raising disciples of Jesus—sons and daughters who know their God-given identity and walk in it.

This isn’t a parenting pep talk loaded with pressure or guilt. It’s a call to purpose.

With honest stories, biblical truth, and real-life application, this message breaks down three essential ways to parent with purpose:

1. Dedicate your children to the Lord – More than a moment, it’s a declaration that your home is built on God’s Word.

2. Disciple your children in the Word – Faith is caught before it’s taught. Make it visible. Make it normal. Make it part of everyday life.

3. Discipline your children toward the Lord – Discipline isn’t about punishment. It’s about formation—training your child in truth with grace and consistency.

You’ll also hear:

Why your child’s identity must be anchored in Christ, not culture

- The difference between raising rule-followers and Jesus-followers

- Why your kids don’t need perfect parents—they need present, prayerful ones

- How to model repentance, grace, and reconciliation in your home

- How to make spiritual conversations part of your daily rhythm

Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this message will equip and encourage you to lead your home with purpose, not perfection.

Because your home may be messy—but your mission is clear.

Let’s raise disciples. Let’s parent on purpose.
