Parenting Imperfect Kids (as a "Perfect Pastor") - Christie Penner Worden - Media # 24405

It is a family business when a parent is called into ministry! But our kids didn’t necessarily sign up for the assignment, nor did they get the memo on the expectations held of them by others. How do we make space to raise authentic kids who feel accepted and welcome just as they are? How do we engage with our kids in our ministries while it feels like our parenting is on display? And how can we help the church family come alongside our pastoral families well without requiring them to put on a show? Is there grace for our kids to be kids (and for us to struggle as parents)?
