There was a metaphor \/ a word picture that you used with your kids, as you were raising them about what their relationship with their peers and with the culture was going to be. You used to talk to them about whether they were going to be missionaries or going to be a mission field; right? \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>Dennis: <\/strong>Right; we actually taught a sixth-grade Sunday school class, where we gave all the participants in the class, on the next-to-last class, to choose whether they wanted to be, as they moved into junior high and high school, whether they wanted to be a missionary or a mission field.

On one door was written \u201cMissionary.\u201d On the other door was written \u201cMission Field.\u201d There was nothing between the child and being a mission field\u2014they could walk right to the door, open it, and go out. To become a missionary, however, we had stacked tables, desks, chairs\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It was an obstacle course?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It was an obstacle course that they had to crawl in and around and through just to get to the door to become a missionary. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, Bob, you start thinking about it\u2014what are kids at a church \/ what are they going to do? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> They know the right answer; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> They know the right answer; so they are going to go through the missionary door, and they are going to climb all the way through it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/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\tI think after\u2014in doing that for four years, so I had like 250 kids\u2014there was one \/ one young man, who said: \u201cI\u2019m not ready to be a missionary. I am going to be a mission field,\u201d and he got up and walked through it. I went over; and I hugged him, and I thanked him for his honesty; because in the end\u2014and I haven\u2019t tracked with him; I don\u2019t know where he is in life right now\u2014this was about 20 years ago\u2014so I\u2019d be\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter:<\/strong> He\u2019s probably a missionary.

It\u2019s easy to say we want our kids to do that, and it\u2019s hard to watch them actually do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs you were telling that story, I was thinking: \u201cYou know, as parents, we say: \u2018Oh, God, use my kids. Use them to impact Your kingdom,\u2019 but when that starts to happen, that can make it a little bit afraid, as parents.\u201d What we talk about a lot in that section\u2014about her relationship with the world around her\u2014is really the prayer of: \u201cGod prepare <em>me<\/em> for the journey You have. As I am doing the work of pouring God\u2019s Word into her, and making sure she knows Your love and the peace that can come from walking with You, at the same time, prepare <em>me<\/em>.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember watching one of my girls in church on a Sunday. The youth pastor calls for a volunteer\u2014and he didn\u2019t really say a number\u2014he just said, \u201cWe need some volunteers.\u201d As you can imagine, a gazillion kids ran forward; they all just ran forward. One of the first ones up was my daughter. She ran and was just so excited. I could see, from the back of the room, how excited she was to get to the front. She was standing there with all these other kids\u2014you know, maybe about 70 kids. He looks down and he is like: \u201cOh, we only need six. All the rest of you\u2014only six kids stay up; the rest of you all need to go back.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI watched my daughter, who I saw was one of the first\u2014she would have counted as one of the first six kids. She was one of the first kids to turn around and run back. In that moment, I should have been proud\u2014like: \u201cOh, good job, Kaitie! You just did what you\u2019re supposed to do.\u201d But I had a moment of just flesh, where I felt like: \u201cNo! You were one of the first kids up there. This is your chance to get the donut\u201d; you know? \u201cYou go forward!\u201d [Laughter] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod really convicted me\u2014of just: \u201cYou know, if I\u2019m saying I want her to be selfless, and I want her to able to stand in the world, and I want her to be able to stand for Christ and to do these things, I\u2019ve got to be willing to watch her suffer and to watch her do those things.\u201d \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\tEven in that moment of just watching her be the first kid to turn around, she was doing exactly what we had been teaching her to do; but realizing that, as her parent, I can\u2019t only pray that God uses her and helps her to impact the world; but I have to be praying, \u201cGod give me the strength to allow You to do that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I think that\u2019s a good prayer. I also want to applaud that you\u2019re preparing your daughters to know how to suffer; because if they are going to be courageous in this culture, they will suffer for doing what is right. This is not some kind of cakewalk of following Jesus Christ. He told us that a servant was not greater than his master and they crucified the Master.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Jonathan, you recognize, in this culture in particular, if your daughters are going to live their lives like the Bible calls them to live their lives\u2014if they are going to believe that what the Bible teaches is true about gender, about sexuality, about marriage, about premarital sex\u2014I mean, I could go down the whole list\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\u2014I pick on sexual issues, because they are so prominent in the culture today. But it could be things like lying, or stealing, or all kinds of things; right? If they are going to live that out, they are going to be marginalized; they are going to be punished. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tTo raise daughters, who are ready to face that and go, \u201cOkay; I know that\u2019s coming, but I\u2019m going to live for Jesus and not for the approval of my friends,\u201d\u2014that\u2018s a hard task for parents.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan:<\/strong> I\u2019ll say\u2014I remember the distinct moment in my mind, at the dinner table, where I\u2019m talking: \u201cWhat it looks like to live for Christ,\u201d and realizing I need to be training my girls for suffering. There\u2019s a verse in Joshua\u2014I think about Joshua taking the children of Israel into the Promised Land, and realizing what they were going to face\u2014much suffering \/ I mean, death; all kinds of stuff\u2014and God says, \u201cBut I commanded you, \u2018Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tStrength and courage\u2014the only thing that\u2019s going to give us strength and courage to face the giants and face all the stuff that\u2019s coming into our lives\u2014as believers, we know that it\u2019s coming\u2014is knowing that God is with us: \u201cEmmanuel\u201d\u2014you know, Jesus is with us wherever we go. That\u2019s, really, what we\u2019re trying to convey. I don\u2019t think we can give them enough\u2014we can train them, we can grow them up in the Lord, we can give them Scripture\u2014but ultimately, it\u2019s going to be God with them, through the Holy Spirit, empowering them to live courageous lives and lives of strength in the face of who knows what.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter:<\/strong> Because we can teach them to be afraid of the suffering or we can teach them to rest in the promises of God because of, you know, with the suffering. We can\u2019t just say like: \u201cYou\u2019re going to suffer,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re going to suffer\u201d; but we will say, \u201cGod promises you peace; God promises to be with you.\u201d Our way to fight against what is happening in the culture is to give them the promises of God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> The issue, though, is loneliness. I remember\u2014was it Ashley, who, in college or high school\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes; high school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> She felt very alone; because she said, \u201cThis is who I am,\u201d and all of her friends said, \u201cWell, you\u2019re no fun; we don\u2019t want to hang around with you.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> She described\u2014coming home from school one day, she described that all of her friends were standing around her, as she was standing on a wall. They were pulling and tugging on her, trying to get her to come down off the wall and be with them. She was describing the loneliness, Bob. I\u2019ll tell you\u2014it\u2019s hard!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why I appreciate, Wynter, what you said about\u2014first of all, courage has to start with the parents; because you\u2019re going to watch your children go through difficult times. It\u2019s our second nature, as parents, to rescue them. But the reality of it is\u2014if they are going to take a stand, as Bob was talking about, around the issues they\u2019re facing today, they will feel pain.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan:<\/strong> I would also say\u2014because I was one of those kids that fell off the wall a couple of times; like I wasn\u2019t a perfect kid, growing up\u2014I wanted to fit in; I wanted to matter to my friends and all that\u2014I\u2019m just thankful for God\u2019s grace.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just remember a few distinct moments, specifically in college. I remember, one morning, waking up and just thinking to myself: \u201cWhat have I done? Why am I where I\u2019m at?\u201d I just remember God\u2019s peace and grace coming over me in a way I\u2019ve never felt before. I think that\u2019s the same thing we need to extend to our kids\u2014because some of them are going to fall \/ they are going to fall at some level\u2014but just helping them understand the grace of God that helps them get back up and get back on the wall.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeople ask: \u201cWhat\u2019s your testimony? What\u2019s your story?\u201d My testimony: \u201cI\u2019ve tasted and seen that God is good,\u201d\u2014that\u2019s my testimony. I don\u2019t have like this: \u201cI was a drug addict and God saved me.\u201d Literally: \u201cI tasted God\u2019s goodness!\u201d Thankfully, I had parents that would just force feed it to me, as much as they could, in a gracious way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Integration.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jonathan:<\/strong> And then I tasted life apart from God. It was just bitter\u2014it didn\u2019t even taste good\u2014it wasn\u2019t. I just think we have to give our children that as much as we can\u2014just a grace-laced life, where they can taste of God\u2019s goodness.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Wynter, you had a mom who modeled what we\u2019re talking about here\u2014of being on the offensive. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/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> Absolutely.

There was a metaphor \/ a word picture that you used with your kids, as you were raising them about what their relationship with their peers and with the culture was going to be.

I had 60\/70 kids in my class.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>2:00<\/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\tBy the way, we have a couple of guests here in the studio with us.

On one door was written \u201cMissionary.\u201d On the other door was written \u201cMission Field.\u201d There was nothing between the child and being a mission field\u2014they could walk right to the door, open it, and go out. To become a missionary, however, we had stacked tables, desks, chairs\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It was an obstacle course?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It was an obstacle course that they had to crawl in and around and through just to get to the door to become a missionary. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, Bob, you start thinking about it\u2014what are kids at a church \/ what are they going to do? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> They know the right answer; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> They know the right answer; so they are going to go through the missionary door, and they are going to climb all the way through it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/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\tI think after\u2014in doing that for four years, so I had like 250 kids\u2014there was one \/ one young man, who said: \u201cI\u2019m not ready to be a missionary. I am going to be a mission field,\u201d and he got up and walked through it. I went over; and I hugged him, and I thanked him for his honesty; because in the end\u2014and I haven\u2019t tracked with him; I don\u2019t know where he is in life right now\u2014this was about 20 years ago\u2014so I\u2019d be\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter:<\/strong> He\u2019s probably a missionary.

These devices, right here, are coming at our children with incredible intensity and velocity. How are you managing this data deluge that the children are enduring every day? What are the boundaries that you guys have for four daughters, ages fourteen to eight; is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Wynter:<\/strong> Yes; one, we are doing our best to model using our cell phones properly; so limited amounts of time on the phone. There are certain things we have\u2014like no phones at dinner. For us, only our oldest has a phone at the moment. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut even that\u2014because if she sees that we are constantly on the phone\u2014well, the same way, where she sees us in God\u2019s Word, that\u2019s a priority. If she sees us constantly on our phones, that\u2019s our priority. So just being mindful of that, for ourselves; but for her, also, just putting in\u2014we have some practical things in place, in parental guides and things like that on her phone. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen really, it\u2019s training her and walking through what it looks like for her to be responsible with this device that she has all the information available to her in her hand. But what does that look like? We can\u2019t avoid it\u2014cell phones are there, social media is there, technology is here; so we are working on training her to know how to that responsibly.

If you had your airdrop on, on your phone \/ your mobile device, you were going to see an incredible number of images. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs parents, you are raising daughters, who can be tricked and deceived by guys.

They\u2019re not getting anything.\u201d On the other side of that, you have complete freedom and license, where, you just give it to them\u2014you know, you just walk away. I want live in a place \/ be in a place, where we can be in the middle\u2014obviously, with trust\u2014further empowering them with the things they need\u2014technology\/whatever\u2014responsibly. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think about being in high school\u2014cell phones weren\u2019t even around when I was in high school; at least, not like they are now\u2014the big old cell phones. But I remember going over to a buddy\u2019s house and pornography was on his TV. I had to make a choice in that moment. There\u2019s this reality that we <em>cannot<\/em> avoid every situation. Your airdrop\u2014your airdrop might be on one day, and it just comes in. We just need to be at a place, where our kids, even when they are faced with some of those things, they know what God wants \/ they know what the enemy wants; and they are able to make a decision to choose what God wants. If they don\u2019t have that, we\u2019re going to have issues regardless.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You know, Dennis talked about the passage in 2 Corinthians 5 that says we are ambassadors. The Bible uses another description, where it says we are \u201cstrangers and aliens\u201d\u2014this world is not our home \/ this is not where we belong\u2014we\u2019re not going to live here forever. We need to remember this. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is kind of the metaphor I think of for myself.

[Laughter] Christians ought not to be strange. I like to say: \u201cIf I\u2019m strange because I\u2019m a Christian, it wasn\u2019t because Jesus Christ made me strange.
