Responsibility (2 of 6)
Series: Sound bites for Parents
Joey Rodgers
John 13:1-17
Last week we began a series of sound bites (morsels of truth) on parenting/grand-parenting based on Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Using the acrostic TRAINS, we're discussing from MD to FD the (6) key elements necessary to raise up a child who can walk w/ God and thrive in life.
