29. Raising Givers in a Me-First World (Part 2): Teaching Kids to Steward Time, Talent, and Treasure
Manage episode 514888976 series 3680804
“If we’re going to use our family as a discipleship training ground, let’s think of ways we can give as a family and create traditions of giving together.”
In Part Two of this powerful series, Lori and John Lane move from the heart of generosity to the habits that help it take root. Building on the biblical foundation from Part One, they unpack what it means to teach stewardship of time, resources, relationships, and responsibility in the home.
Grounded in passages like 2 Corinthians 9:6–11, Psalm 112, and Luke 16:10, this episode explores how the Supremacy of Scripture shapes a biblical view of giving and how everyday family life becomes the training ground for generosity. With practical examples, age-based ideas, and personal stories, Lori and John show how to raise children who see all they have including their gifts, their time, and their talents as belonging to God.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to use your home as a discipleship training ground for generosity
- The biblical foundation for stewardship and faithful responsibility
- Practical, age-based ideas to teach kids to give and serve joyfully
- Why chores, money management, and shared family service shape character
- How the Supremacy of Scripture and the family unit guide heart formation
- The difference between raising “good kids” and raising image-bearers for God
- Simple systems to cultivate giving habits that reflect the heart of Christ
This episode will encourage you to see generosity not as another parenting task, but as a rhythm of discipleship, one that starts at home and flows from hearts surrendered to Christ.
