Raising Disciples: The Mission of the Christian Parent

By Dan & Sarah Painter

How does the Gospel change the way we parent? That is the question Christian parents ought to be asking themselves.The Bible makes it clear that the Gospel should radically reshape our lives. It should change the way we function in marriage, in our friendships, in our work. It should literally reshape our lives from the inside out. But what about in our parenting? It is often said that there are only a few verses in the Bible that address parenting specifically. While this is accurate, it misses the broader context of our calling as Christians. Jesus gave us our Gospel Mission in Matthew 28:18-20: We are to go and make disciples of all nations. And that mission starts in our homes. In Raising Disciples, Dan and Sarah Painter seek to refocus parents on the Gospel Mission and equip them with the tools to be intentional in fulfilling it. Not only will you find sound Biblical teaching, but also practical steps to create your own intentional parenting plan. What you have in your hands is not a book of quick fixes but a book that reminds and equips parents to fulfill the mission of Christian parenting, which is not just to raise good citizens or even good moral adults who are responsible, but to raise kids who love Jesus.To raise disciples.
