Raising a Soul Surfer in Times of Crisis

Jesus promises that we will experience times of crisis “In this world you will have trouble”…. - John 16:33 - John 16:33

How will we parent through this time of crisis? What will we trust in? “Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the Godless. What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider’s web. He leans on his web, but it gives ways; he clings to it but it does not hold. - Job 8:13-15 “Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the Godless. What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider’s web. He leans on his web, but it gives ways; he clings to it but it does not hold. - Job 8:13-15

How will we mold our soul surfer? “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.” - Deuteronomy 11:18-21 “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.” - Deuteronomy 11:18-21
