Parenting With Purpose: Creating a God-Centered Home

October 1, 2014 By LeeAnn G. Taylor

I’m joining in with hundreds of other writers online in The Nester’s 31 Day Writing Challenge. This is my first time participating and I’m excited to share with you this series on Parenting With Purpose: Creating a God-Centered Home.

Parenting with Purpose: Creating a God-Centered Home

As we begin, there are 5 things I’d like you to know about me, my family, and our topic for the month:

  1. My kids are 5, 2, and the third is due in January. (July 2018 update: Kiddos are 9, 6, 3….plus 15 month old TWINS)
  2. This means I haven’t gone through all the stages of parenting and still have lots to learn!
  3. I struggle daily as I strive to make the best choices for and with my children.
  4. I’m learning to embrace a graced-based approach to parenting.
  5. There are hundreds of ways to create a God-centered home and I’ll be sharing 31 of them, so this won’t be an exhaustive list!

What To Expect:

You can expect daily posts during the month of October focused on:

  • practical parenting tools & resources for creating a God-centered home
  • parenting-focused scriptures {on Sundays}
  • reviews of Christian parenting books, CDs, and DVDs {giveaways on Mondays}
  • printable resources to use right away with your children
  • inspiration & insight from other Christian parents {guest posts}

What Not To Expect:

  • perfect or prescribed solutions
  • judgements about other types of parenting

How You Will Benefit:

Learning often happens best in community!

By following along with the series & participating as you’re able in the comments section or the private Facebook group, you’ll:

  • gain fresh perspectives on opportunities to create God-focused moments in your home
  • learn about a treasure trove of resources to draw from
  • enjoy interaction with other Christian parents & grandparents with similar goals

Ways to Stay Connected:

If you’re not already receiving blog posts by email, you can sign up to follow along with the series and have the posts delivered right to your inbox so you don’t have to remember to click over to the blog each day.

      I’ve followed your blog for awhile now and have always loved how we share the ability to create spiritual discussions out of the most mundane things! My husband and I refined that skill before we had kids when we were leading youth retreats and coming up with experiential learning experiences for the classes we taught together at Bible camp. So fun!

      I’m looking forward to introducing my readers to your fabulous resources later in the month too!
