This is the severe side of sacred parenting: giving to kids who can’t see the benefits in what they’re receiving, walking at times through the darkest of valleys, being called all manner of names as we seek to raise godly children, crucifying our tendency to be people-pleasers. In the process, we get blessed, transformed, and invited into the very ministry of Christ himself. We join him in his own courageous confrontation of a broken and sinful world.
