Win The Battle of Selfishness in Your Family

Do you want less selfishness in your family? Do you feel like its a constant battle you can’t win? Children need to be both taught the importance and the biblical call to be selfless, have examples of what that looks like, be held accountable and reminded of what God calls us to, but you know what is even more impactful for your children? Exercises the muscle of serving others, thinking of others more than themselves, literally doing and being the hands and feet of Jesus! It’s an incredible experience for every believer, regardless of your age or spiritual maturity and it’s when we walk in obedience to the Lord and serve others, our hearts change! Selfishness is the most common sin of all humanity; and the world, the enemy, and our flesh cries out to BE selfish, to be self-absorbed and think about ourselves first. We have to learn to “die to self” as Jesus said! And… so do our children. In today’s episode, Isaac and Angie share practical tips for cultivating a servant heart in your child as well as share some amazing experiences they have personally had in serving alongside their family as they plant a church. Serving together, as family, regardless of what, taking a meal to a new mama, mowing a lawn for a widow, cleaning the toilets at church, or leading a bible study, whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord… and teach your kids the same by living it out! For all show notes, scriptures, and resources mentioned go to courageousparenting.com.Companies we love who sponsor the show:Masterbooks; Homeschool curriculum we love and use https://www.masterbooks.com/courageousCreating a Masterpiece; the preferred Art course by the Tolpin children creatingamasterpiece.com/courageousSamaritans Ministry https://samaritanministries.org/becourageousFOR MORE RESOURCES:becourageousministry.orgresoluteman.comcourageousmom.comCONNECT WITH THE MINISTRY AND THE TOLPINS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Courageous Parenting:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courageous.parenting/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/courageousparent/Angie Tolpin:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courageous.mom/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CourageousMomIsaac Tolpin:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resolute.man/-Twitter: https://twitter.com/IsaacTolpin-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheResoluteManCONTACT----------------------------------------------------isaac@becourageousministry.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/courageous-parenting/donations
