Parenting is tough. There is a very important biblical pattern for building a legacy. In fact, parenthood is the 3rd step in the pattern. I want you to reflect back with me to the previous context. The context begins in Eph.
Parenthood begins with personhood.
Or how big it is. Personhood, personhood, personhood. It is the first step in every endeavor. And what I find most interesting is that you can't skip from personhood to parenthood, because the text doesn't start with parenthood after it says be a Spirit controlled person. It's the way I treat my spouse.
