Riverside Church, Birmingham, UK
TEACHING SERIES: The Story Of Us
TITLE: Parenting In An Age Of Expectation
BY: Guest Panel (Discussion)
DATE: Sunday 17 July 2022
BIBLE PASSAGES: Proverbs (Chapter 20, verse 7)
Ephesians (Chapter 6, verses 1-4)
EXCERPT:
Talking about being a parent, the author Nick Lannon writes, ‘What finally gave me some peace, and the ability to approach the birth of our daughter with some mental stability, was the realisation that making all the right decisions along the parenting decision tree was impossible. Not difficult, impossible…I had to acknowledge from the very beginning that failure was my sure destination. “Success,” as I had subconsciously defined it, was impossible. Ironically and counterintuitively, it was in admitting failure that I found peace.”’ In a world of unrealistic expectations, what hope do parents have?! What does it mean to be parents in an age of expectation?
