You realize\u2014and I don\u2019t know if this is politically correct to say anymore\u2014but you realize that it\u2019s your job, as a dad and as a man, to protect this little girl; so I felt it really early on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>This broadcast is\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>\u2014not politically correct.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s not politically correct. [Laughter] It\u2019s biblically correct; okay?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut I do think that a dad does feel different about a little girl\u2014and being a protector and one who helps her move through the perilous years of growing up. Certainly, today, these are challenging years for girls to grow up in. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do you see as the major challenges, from where you sit in the Dallas\/Fort Worth area, as you raise your daughters?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>One of the biggest things is\u2014it\u2019s not anything new; they\u2019re just different\u2014but the messages and the lies of who they are and what determines their value. I don\u2019t think that that\u2019s a brand-new thing\u2014that can go back over time\u2014but the way that it\u2019s delivered is just\u2014one, with social media, and internet, and all those things. It is just thrown at them constantly\u2014these false images of what they should look like; how popular they should be; you know, what it means to be a good friend; what it means to be a girl\u2014just all these things\u2014of just lies of who they are \/ their identity.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Somewhere in the process of raising these girls, the two of you got together and said, \u201cYou know, we really have three primary assignments as we raise these girls,\u201d and it\u2019s all around helping them have right relationships; right? Unpack that a little bit; will you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>Sure!

As parents, we realize we\u2019re primarily responsible for raising our daughters in the Lord; and hopefully, we each, as a parent, have an opportunity to introduce them to the Lord and guide them in the Lord\u2014so that\u2019s the first part.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe second part would be her relationship with you. The book has a lot of prayers in it; and the main prayer in the book\u2014we talk about how we, obviously, want to be her friend\u2014but we\u2019re not her friend first. So \u201cWhat does the relationship look like between a parent and their daughter?\u201d\u2014so we talk a lot about that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, her relationship with the world around her.

By the way\u2014back to what Bob said\u2014by the time we raised six kids, we were very respectful of how powerful peer pressure is\u2014especially beginning around the age of ten, eleven, twelve, all the way through adolescence into college\u2014that peers have on our young people.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>As parents, I think most of us have gotten into this place of we\u2019re playing defense; but we need to be offensive, and offense is tiring.

One of the contributors, Tim Kimmel, said some kids are \u201casset friends\u201d and some kids are \u201cliability friends\u201d\u2014and your kids are going to be friends with both.

In the first part of our book, we talk about\u2014that\u2019s really a key Scripture; because I like to say that: \u201cTo the degree that we show Jesus to our children will be to the degree that we know they will actually see Jesus.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe can\u2019t control who else they\u2019re going to be around\u2014there are asset friends \/ all kinds of friends\u2014but we have the opportunity to be a part of that process with them. I think, as parents, if we don\u2019t realize that we\u2019re the greatest ambassadors that our children have\u2014to the degree that we\u2019re ambassadors, they can become ambassadors\u2014I just love that idea of\u2014that\u2019s a bigger story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That is a <em>huge<\/em> story.

You realize\u2014and I don\u2019t know if this is politically correct to say anymore\u2014but you realize that it\u2019s your job, as a dad and as a man, to protect this little girl; so I felt it really early on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>This broadcast is\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>\u2014not politically correct.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s not politically correct. [Laughter] It\u2019s biblically correct; okay?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut I do think that a dad does feel different about a little girl\u2014and being a protector and one who helps her move through the perilous years of growing up. Certainly, today, these are challenging years for girls to grow up in. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do you see as the major challenges, from where you sit in the Dallas\/Fort Worth area, as you raise your daughters?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>One of the biggest things is\u2014it\u2019s not anything new; they\u2019re just different\u2014but the messages and the lies of who they are and what determines their value. I don\u2019t think that that\u2019s a brand-new thing\u2014that can go back over time\u2014but the way that it\u2019s delivered is just\u2014one, with social media, and internet, and all those things. It is just thrown at them constantly\u2014these false images of what they should look like; how popular they should be; you know, what it means to be a good friend; what it means to be a girl\u2014just all these things\u2014of just lies of who they are \/ their identity.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Somewhere in the process of raising these girls, the two of you got together and said, \u201cYou know, we really have three primary assignments as we raise these girls,\u201d and it\u2019s all around helping them have right relationships; right? Unpack that a little bit; will you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>Sure! Well, you know, the book\u2019s broken down into three different sections\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014her relationship with God; her relationship with you, as her parent or grandparent; and her relationship with the world around her. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen we think about the world, we think about everything in the context of relationships. As parents, we realize we\u2019re primarily responsible for raising our daughters in the Lord; and hopefully, we each, as a parent, have an opportunity to introduce them to the Lord and guide them in the Lord\u2014so that\u2019s the first part.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe second part would be her relationship with you. The book has a lot of prayers in it; and the main prayer in the book\u2014we talk about how we, obviously, want to be her friend\u2014but we\u2019re not her friend first. So \u201cWhat does the relationship look like between a parent and their daughter?\u201d\u2014so we talk a lot about that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, her relationship with the world around her. One of the things that we say\u2014and I just love this; because I feel like, as a parent, this is one of our primary responsibilities\u2014is raising our girls and raising our children to have a greater impact on the world than the world is actually having on them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes; Wynter, that\u2019s what I thought of as you guys were describing the challenge today around identity and how the world is trying to define what that should look like. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt occurred to me that if you are, as parents, really taking care of relationship number one; their relationship with God \/ relationship number two; their relationship with their parents\u2014that\u2019s the foundation from which you can begin to address how the culture is trying to influence who they are; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>Absolutely; because we just realized, early on, we had these four girls that we knew we couldn\u2019t do this the right way and\u2014with all the messages and, statistically speaking, just the things that were coming against us\u2014we were like: \u201cOkay; how do we fight back on this?

One of the reasons they said they were going to miss Kaitlyn, our 11-year-old, is because she was the one that would keep them out of trouble. You don\u2019t realize the power\u2014or I guess our kids don\u2019t realize the power they have and how much <em>they<\/em> matter, even when they\u2019re looking to just matter to the kids around them.

You said it earlier\u2014you have to be the parent of your child, which means you have to set the tone; you have to embrace the values; you have to be willing to be unpopular by not letting them listen to those songs. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe did the same thing with our teenagers, all the way through adolescence. I\u2019m going to tell you\u2014they didn\u2019t appreciate it at the time; but they didn\u2019t have those words bouncing around in their brains, and they weren\u2019t being pulled off into a subculture of teens. By the way\u2014back to what Bob said\u2014by the time we raised six kids, we were very respectful of how powerful peer pressure is\u2014especially beginning around the age of ten, eleven, twelve, all the way through adolescence into college\u2014that peers have on our young people.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>As parents, I think most of us have gotten into this place of we\u2019re playing defense; but we need to be offensive, and offense is tiring. You know, you\u2019re the one kind of pursuing \/ you\u2019re pushing; but that\u2019s how I like to think about it: \u201cWe\u2019re playing offense; not defense.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>I was going to say, because even in that example, it would have been super easy for me just to find one almost safe song or whatever\u2014you know, \u201cWell, let\u2019s try this one; and maybe you can go and show them a dance to this song.\u201d It\u2019s easy to do that; because she was sad, you know. That\u2019s the last thing I want to do\u2014is to see my kids sad. It\u2019s easier to find a way to make them be able to fit in \/ to be a part of; but really, it\u2019s a harder job to call them out to be separate.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>In the new video series that FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has just released, called FamilyLife\u2019s <em>Art of Parenting<\/em>\u2122, we talk about identity. We talk about how kids are shaped by their peer group and how parents need to be aware of this and set the tone for it. One of the contributors, Tim Kimmel, said some kids are \u201casset friends\u201d and some kids are \u201cliability friends\u201d\u2014and your kids are going to be friends with both. They need to know who their asset friends and who their liability friends are and just have in mind: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t want my liability friends influencing me, guiding me, directing me. I want to lean into my asset friends for that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat doesn\u2019t mean that you seal yourself off from the kids who don\u2019t think like you; it just means that you say, \u201cI\u2019m going to be influenced for good by these people rather than being influenced for evil by this other group.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And the way you have to go about establishing firm convictions to be able to fight off this peer pressure is you help the child realize whose they are\u2014as in they are God\u2019s child if they\u2019ve believed in Christ as their Lord and Savior\u2014and that they represent Him in school. They\u2019re on an assignment, speaking of being on the offensive.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s really the first part of your book\u2014you talk about developing a relationship with God. What are you all doing to help your daughters realize who they are, as a daughter of the King of kings and the Lord of lords?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>Well, I would say, first of all, obviously, Scripture is one way that we\u2019re doing that; but even before that, as parents\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014and as, you know, a mom and a dad and a man and a woman\u2014we need to know who we are in Christ so that we can accurately model, because they\u2019re going to look more to our lives than they are going to listen to our voices. One of the things we try to do is just grow in Christ ourselves. We\u2019re not perfect\u2014we\u2019re still dealing with our own identity issues and things like that\u2014so just, obviously, growing in Christ ourselves so that we can model it well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then, taking our girls to Scripture. I mean, we spend quite a bit of time in Scripture. We use our dinner table as a primary place for imparting Scripture; we use it right before bedtime; but we\u2019re also just constantly talking with our girls about what God says\u2014what He says about who they are versus what the world says that they are.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>I think the things that we make a priority, as a family, matter and speak loudly without the words\u2014so the way that we love our neighbors, the way that we are involved in our church community, the way that they see us interacting with parents of their friends\u2014all of those things make a difference. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen it comes to their identity, our goal really is to live that every day\u2014not just in a response to something that has recently happened, or something that somebody has said about them, or something that they\u2019re feeling or believing that\u2019s not true\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but really, in our everyday lives, the things that we make priority\u2014our dinner table, our family, God\u2019s Word, our time together in Scripture, our devotion\u2014all those things speak to the truth of what we believe and show them who we are and what God says about our lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan: <\/strong>Yes; Wynter always says\u2014one of the things I love that she says, is, \u201cWe need to be giving our girls\u201d\u2014and she stole it from somebody; I don\u2019t know who\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter: <\/strong>Don Miller.

Mostly, unless Jonathan\u2019s traveling, I mean, it\u2019s four or five nights a week; but at least, three nights a week that we\u2019ve committed to just being around the dinner table, where we already are, and talking about God\u2019s Word. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe don\u2019t pull out these big plans\u2014we tell people, \u201cDon\u2019t run from it.\u201d We\u2019re not pulling out these sermons, although sometimes he <em>tries<\/em> to pull out a sermon.
