Parenting Today’s Teens
Definition of Peace
PODCAST SCRIPT:
What is your definition of peace? Is it a house with no yelling? Maybe a few quiet moments without the kids making a mess?
The world’s definition of peace is the absence of conflict. But God’s definition of peace is hope in the middle of conflict. When you struggle as a family… when there’s tension and disappointment in your relationships… you have the choice to trust God, and to see that the hardship will lead you to a deeper relationship with your teen.
If you sweep struggle and conflict beneath the carpet, you’ll keep your family relationships from growing. In fact… requiring a non- conflict home will only atrophy your family muscles!
Today, view peace from a different perspective. Let God bring peace in the middle of conflict!
