One of the major challenges as a parent, who follows Christ, is to raise your children in such a way that they grow to genuinely love Him too.

In this episode we sit down for part 2 of our conversation with our friend Jim Anderson, to hear wisdom and practical tips on how Jim and his wife Lisa have raised 8 children to love Jesus.

We recently sat down with long time friend a mentor Jim Anderson and talked about the unique story of how his ministry began. God had put a burden in his heart for protecting the unborn and over the years of work in this arena God begin to reveal the connection between abortion and the increase in sexual brokenness within culture.

Jim Anderson has been married to Lisa for 41 years and has 8 wonderful grown children.

He and Lisa lead Sexuality Unmasked, a worldwide ministry dedicated to releasing God's truth, healing, and restoration in the areas of sexuality and relationships.

He is also the author of the book "Unmasked: Exposing the Cultural Sexual Assault".

In this conversation with Erin Clark, a homeschooling mama of 3, we talked about the irreplaceable role that a mother plays in her family, as well as some of the biggest obstacles we face in trying to remember this calling.

In this podcast episode, she shares -

• How it was her 6-year-old daughter’s struggle in school that led them to homeschool (long before homeschooling was cool)

• One of her main goals of home education

• The need to have and hold to a vision statement for yourself as a mother

• How jealousy of other peoples’ callings (including your husbands) could derail your focus

• The need for relational intentionality with our kids in order to have safe places for ongoing conversations about sex and self-worth

Erin Clark, her husband Mark, and her three daughters live in western B.C. where they planted The Village Church in 2009. She is the host of the podcasts “The Good, the Bad, and The Beautiful”, as well as “Homeschooling with Erin Clark”.

Like an inheritance that grows exponentially, God loves to see one generation release blessing onto the next.

Adversely, the Bible talks about a spiritual enemy who does everything in his power to divide generations and cut off God's design for the young.

Too often we are short-sighted and impatient, wanting to experience personal ease at the expense of the younger generation.

In this episode, we look at Scripture to see:

⁃ How God’s promises can find fulfillment in our children and children’s children

⁃ How our investment into other generations can release healing and blessing in our nations

⁃ How we must face our own pain and dysfunctions for the sake of our own children and anyone we influence.

God is commissioning His followers to lean into the temporary discomfort and be resolute in sexual morality and righteousness, for the sake of the next generation.
The health of a nation is as strong as the church, as strong as the families, as strong as the marriages, as strong as the young men/women

1. God thinks generationally with a desire to increasingly BLESS (Abraham, promise comes to him, but isn’t fulfilled until Joseph)

2. The enemy hates the young generation. Targets the foundations to cause suffering.

3. To invest in the young generation (your children) is to invest in the kingdom (too often we are short-sighted, impatient)

4. Redemption always possible with Christ. (Sin of fathers to 3rd and 4th generation, but His mercy to the 1000th generation)

In this episode, Bryan and Bonnie discuss why guarding the innocence of your children is so vital. They talk about the practicalities of how to do it in an authentic and life-giving way.
