What is the worst thing that could happen to your child? As parents and grandparents, we naturally think of things like addiction, illness, broken relationships, or tragedy. But how often do we think and talk about where they will spend eternity?
In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow challenges parents and grandparents to recover a sense of urgency about eternity. Drawing from Scripture, the story of missionary John Paton, and The Little Pilgrim's Progress, Rob encourages families to talk openly about heaven, hell, salvation, and the Gospel—and to make helping their children trust and follow Christ the greatest mission of their lives.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why your child's eternal relationship with God matters more than any earthly success or struggle
- Why Christian parents need to talk openly with their children about heaven, hell, judgment, and salvation
- How the Gospel answers the reality of sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
- Why months should not pass with our families focused only on school, sports, work, money, and everyday activities
- How parents and grandparents can cultivate an eternal perspective in the next generation
- Why helping your children follow Jesus should be at the center of your mission as a family
