House or Home - Parenting Edition - Finding Hope for Single Parent and Blended Families, Part 2

Blended families - if you’re in one, you know how hard “blending” can be. Join Chip as he shares, from first hand experience, some of the pitfalls to avoid, how to hang in when you feel like you may have made a mistake, and the great joy that can come as the reward for your faithfulness and perseverance. Main PointsA story of hope and restoration - Ruth 1-4Single parenting - principles and practiceMake your relationship with Christ your #1 priority. Get connected with a strong, godly, same sex group for support and accountability. Accept this "season" of your life and set realistic expectations. Remember God can "make-up" for what you can't give your kids. Refuse to become a victim, a martyr, or a super parent. Don't compromise your spiritual and moral standards to "provide a father/mother" for your children. Blended families - principles and practiceCount the cost thoroughly. Get pre-marital counseling from a mutually trusted, biblical, and wise resource. Make your mate your new, unequivocal #1 relationship ahead of children. Develop a weekly communication tool and mechanism to wrestle family conflicts, schedules, and miscommunication to the ground in a nonthreateneing and safe environment. Make the spiritual development of your marriage and family the utmost priority; only God and supernatural love can make this work - you don't have that apart from vital union with Christ in the context of a strong, loving, biblical community. Remember it will take time, it will be harder than you thought, and it can be a glorious testimony of God's restoration and redemption - so don't quit, don't withdraw, don't bail out, and know that God will bring results. - James 1: 2-4; Hebrews 10: 36Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource MentionsFree Parenting Resources About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.
