Hannah Hernandez: a call to disciple our children
Manage episode 425719057 series 2952991
In some ways, you could argue that today’s guest and I are choosing to parent our children very differently.
While our family is invested in our local public school, Hannah Hernandez has started a home school co-op for folks in the area. But Hannah and I agree big on the importance of raising our kids while we as parents demonstrate a transparent faith.
We believe it’s a tremendous privilege to teach them the stories of the Bible, to share about the goodness of God in our lives, and to model how to walk out our faith in the everyday, mundane activities.
Join me in a conversation with a woman I deeply respect, a conversation that is both challenging and encouraging, convicting and inspiring.

Memorable Quotes:
“So, to me, this is what Christian parenting is. In every single thing that you do, you’re giving your children Jesus.”
“We can’t give our children what we don’t have ourselves. We have to be in the Word, we have to be seeking His face. Only then can we disciple and share our faith with our children.”
“My husband and I firmly believe that the most important thing that we as parents can do is to live out our faith at home while teaching our children the simple gospel to know God and to make Him known. We want every decision we make for our family to be through a gospel-centered lens.”
“These are tiny humans made in the image of God, and He wants their hearts just as much as He wants our hearts.”
“You are the primary discipler of your child.”
“My children are only going to believe about me what they see. If my faith is all done in private, then how are they going to know what my faith is?”
“Your life is the most effective testimony of the gospel.”
