Crossing Church

Parents,
As always, when I come across helpful parenting freebies, I want to pass them on to you.
Here is a link to a number of helpful audio sessions and PDFs (by age even!) from a great church called Covenant Life in Gaithersburg, MD.
Enjoy and pass on!

Parents,

In addition to the great videos I posted earlier in the week, here are some great recommendations for books to help us navigate the all-important world of parenting as well.

Parents,
As I mentioned on Sunday, here is some of THE BEST “Gospel-Centered” parenting material out there. My family has been deeply affected by this teaching (as have many families at Crossing) and through our friends at Resurgence, we can now share it with you. Below are links to the five sessions of video and at the bottom is a link to where you can download audio that you could put on your mp3 player for later. Since this content is graciously “open source” so feel free to share it with any friends or family that you can.

A great resource we use, The Resurgence, just released their Biblical Parenting Conference’s media on their website for free. We highly recommend these valuable resources to all of our parents.

This book is from the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Download it. Read it. Respond.

This article is from Capital Hill Baptist Church. We find it very helpful as a resource to get our kids started memorizing scripture.

Big Truth Questions are key truths about God, The Bible, and other central theological topics that are vital to our children’s spiritual development. Throughout history, these questions have been referred to as a catechism which simply means a lesson that teaches us truths about God. However, since there is a negative stigma that often accompanies this word, we have chosen the much friendlier title of “Big Truth Questions.”

Vision: Equipping Parents to Teach Their Kids about God.

Our Ministry recognizes and organizes itself around the following two truths:

• Parents are called by God to be the primary agents of spiritual instruction and character formation in their children’s lives.
• The Church is called to come alongside parents to encourage, equip, and support parents as they fulfill this most important calling.
