Does it feel like you’re raising your children in a world gone mad? Between cultural hostility, moral confusion, and unavoidable influences, parenting today can feel like carrying an open treasure box through a den of thieves. If you’re overwhelmed, you’re not alone.

In this timely and empowering episode, we find hope and strategy in the unlikely story of Samson’s parents. They were given a sacred treasure—a promised child—in the middle of land dominated by a subtle, assimilating enemy. Their story provides a powerful blueprint for raising godly children in hostile territory.

We’ll explore four crucial lessons from parents who succeeded against the odds:

  1. Recognize the Proximity of the Enemy: Understand the subtle, pervasive nature of modern cultural pressures that seek not to attack outright, but to assimilate and conform.
  2. Remember the Privilege of the Experience: Rekindle the joy and sacred honor of parenting amidst the daily struggles, remembering that your children are a heritage and blessing from the Lord.
  3. Seek the Prescription for Excellence: Learn where to find your “orders” and the importance of shielding your children from spiritual pollution while they are under your care.
  4. Prepare for Freedom: Navigate the difficult transition of letting go, understanding that preparation for a godly life in the world must be gradual and rooted in truth.

This episode is a battle plan for faithful parenting. It’s for every mom and dad who feels the pressure of the Philistine territory we call modern culture and wonders if it’s even possible to raise faithful children within it.

Tune in to be equipped, encouraged, and reminded that with God’s wisdom, you can raise children who not only survive but stand firm.
