This powerful teaching confronts us with a sobering reality: only 14% of families today meet the criteria for resilience in their faith journey. Drawing from Barna research and grounded in Scripture like Joshua 24:15—'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord'—we're challenged to recognize that raising kingdom kids doesn't happen by accident. It requires intentional, daily choices to point our children toward Jesus. The teaching beautifully illustrates how resilient families share common traits: they practice forgiveness rather than avoidance, they engage actively in their church community, and they communicate openly with grace. We're reminded that our children are watching not just what we say, but how we live. When we model repentance, demonstrate authentic faith through Bible reading and prayer, and set healthy boundaries—especially around technology—we're not controlling our kids, we're liberating them to flourish within God's design. The call is clear: whether we have children in our homes or not, we all play a role in shaping the next generation. The question isn't whether we'll influence them, but what kind of influence we'll be.
