HomePointe Founder Kurt Brunner is doing everything in his power to
help churches “drive faith home.” The organization was designed to help local church leaders create a culture of strong Christian families. This would be accomplished by challenging parents to take on the role as the primary faith teachers of their children. His website and ministry helps churches worldwide educate parents and families on how to better serve and glorify God in their homes. I would encourage you to check out their website at drivefaithhome.com. HomePointe has identified 10 major concerns for parents. Over the next few weeks I will be talking about each one in my blog. My goal for today is simply to give you a list of the top 10 concerns as identified by the HomePointe team. 1. Spiritual Development of Children 2. Technology use and abuse within the family 3. Parent/Child Communication 4. Integrity at home and beyond 5. Peer Acceptance and Positive Relationships 6. Self Image, Gifts, and Talents 7. Making Grades, Working Hard, and Being Self Disciplined 8. Sexual Knowledge-What do your kids need to know and when 9. Financial Awareness and Responsibility 10. Apathy, Procrastination and Independence I believe that the next 10 weeks will help all of us who are parents better understand our role as the primary faith teachers of our children.
