Parenting Series 4: The Antagonist of the Story (Part 2)

Koinonia Ministries

These two lessons have attempted to argue that story itself is of principle importance to parenting because story is how we make meaning of the world. Secondary to this then we must be sure that our children are receiving the right story. The story of Christianity offers that the problem of humanity is sin. This sin issue is found both within our child and without the child in the external world. Initially, parents function to protect them from the evils of life, but ultimately, good parents are preparing children to transcend their guardianship in order to dynamically navigate the evils of this life as part of the church.
