The Real Goal Of Christian Parenting | Family 101 | Pastor Chris Dixon

This week's message, "Jesus At Home" (Ephesians 6:1–4), challenged us to remember that it's often easiest to look like a Christ-follower at church, but home is where our faith is truly tested and formed. We talked about the difference between obedience (what we do) and honor (how we do it), and how God calls families to live under Christ's authority—not simply parental control. Christian parenting is about formation, not compliance: correcting behavior without attacking identity, disciplining with calm instruction, apologizing when wrong, and intentionally noticing what's right. The goal is a home where both generations are learning submission to Jesus in ordinary, everyday moments.
