In Week 4 of Parenting Is Hard, Pastor Dave sits down with Justin Gravitt — Navigators Church Ministries missionary, disciple-maker for 27 years, and "the most intentional guy I've ever met" — to talk about the intentional side of parenting. Justin and his wife Kristen sum up their whole philosophy in three lines: we show the way, they choose the way, and we love them either way. From there it gets practical: the difference between Christian parenting and discipling your kids (a hot take), the non-negotiables in their home, a family mission statement their four-year-old memorized, one-on-one breakfasts in the Word every school day, Sabbath, screen time, what happens when mom and dad disagree, and the "ice cream consequence" that teaches kids what grace feels like. Whether you have toddlers, teenagers, or no kids yet, this is a conversation worth having at your own table. Parenting is hard, and unfortunately, none of us gets it right all the time. But God has given us wisdom for the journey. Parenting Is Hard is for parents, grandparents, future parents, and anyone helping shape the next generation as we learn to build strong relationships, lead with purpose, and point the children in our lives toward their Heavenly Father.
