Parenting is hard work.
It easily exhausts us and can leave us feeling like failures. What can make it something we embrace with increasing energy rather than waning willpower? What can make it something we find rewarding now and in eternity?
The cynic in you might be muttering, “What are you selling?!” Or, “I’ve had it with all the formulas. They don’t work! GO AWAY and leave me alone!” Honestly, we are right there with you.
Parenting is one of the toughest jobs we will ever do.
We pour ourselves into it, sacrificing other interests. Sometimes, the only result is our children taking unexpected paths, leaving us wondering, “What have I done wrong?” This question exposes the root of our problem: seeking identity in our kids and in our performance as parents.
The solution is finding our identity in Christ as parents.
This should be a foundational part of our parenting strategy. Unfortunately, this is often neglected or missing entirely.
In our time together, Leslee and I will provide a welcome reset. We will lead a simple rediscovery of our identity in Christ and the practical difference it can make in us… and our children.
What we will share could just be the best news you have ever heard on your parenting journey!
Meet
Eric and Leslee
Eric and Leslee have been married for 29 years and have eight children, three of whom are married.
They have served together in ministry for their entire marriage. Eric served on staff at a church in NVA and launched Home in Him ministry in 2001. He was an elder for eight years and the Wallaces are members of Sycamore PCA in Midlothian, VA.
Through the years they have endured parenting failures, but along the way they have seen the difference our identity in Christ makes. It replaces frustration and fear with rest and confidence.
