How To Ultimately Trust God With My Kid’s Heart -

If there’s anything I’ve learned as a parent, it’s the fact that I am ultimately NOT in control of my child’s outcomes. Today, I am joined by author/podcaster Laurie Christine. She gives us truth and hope as we answer the question, “How can I trust God with my kid’s heart?”

In episode #29 of The UN-Perfect Pocast, Laurie Christine shares her personal story of navigating through the challenges of raising a child with a congenital heart defect. She discusses the journey of trusting God with her son’s physical heart along with reflecting on the importance of trusting God with our kids’ spiritual hearts. Listen in to hear her answers to the following questions:

Why Is It Hard to Trust God With My Kid’s Heart?…

First, Laurie begins by listing why we often find it difficult to trust God with the outcomes of our children’s spiritual lives, ranging from fear to our deep understanding of this world’s brokenness.

What Does It Look Like to Trust God With My Kid’s Heart?

Next, we discuss what it looks like (and doesn’t look like) to entrust our kids’ hearts to Jesus, going into detail about intentionality and our knowledge of God’s character.

Who Is Ultimately Responsible for My Kid’s Walk With Jesus?

Finally, Laurie helps us discover the various participants in our kids’ salvation and continued spiritual growth. The good news? The responsibility does not rest on our shoulders alone! Consequently, there is freedom in understanding the combination of our part, our child’s part, and God’s ultimate control.
