The Perfect Pairing
The art of delegation is a valuable skill, but there are some things you simply can’t outsource. We sometimes behave as though it’s the school’s job to make my kids smart, their coach’s job to make them a winner, and we imagine that it’s the church’s job to make sure they grow up to be good Christians. But what if that’s not actually the primary role the church exists to play in the lives of kids? If the home is the primary place of spiritual influence in a child’s life, what does it look like for the church to come alongside parents and caregivers, to sustain, support, equip, and encourage them to be the very best spiritual champions possible?
