Strategic Parenting: 7 Practices for Passing Down Your Faith to the Next Generation
Strategic Parenting
Parenting isn’t something we leave to chance in today’s world—we need a strategy. Over six engaging weeks, Strategic Parenting will equip moms, dads, and guardians with seven Bible-anchored, research-based practices that make faith formation a natural part of your everyday family rhythm.
Why This Curriculum?
- Rooted in Scripture. Each session unpacks a core passage that shapes the week’s practice, showing how God’s design for families is relevant to parenting today.
- Backed by research. You’ll explore the most compelling findings from the latest studies on faith transmission—drawn from three years of doctoral research by your instructor.
- Clear outcomes. Every practice is actionable: you’ll walk away with tools to help your kids become men and women who love Jesus and live out an authentic faith.
What You’ll Experience
- A clear roadmap. Seven clear practices will give you a repeatable framework you can adapt to any age or season.
- Hands-on application. Interactive exercises, real-life examples, and take-home guides will help you turn insights into habits the very same week.
- Community learning. Small-group discussion and peer encouragement help you refine your strategy and gain fresh ideas from fellow parents.
- Expert guidance. Jamie Willis, Lakewood’s Next Generation Pastor, brings pastoral wisdom and academic rigor, marrying biblical truth with cutting-edge research.
