where you\u2019re going.\u00a0 We just never really sit down and, as you said, write it out\u2014kind of formalize it.\u00a0 It\u2019s all just there but never really\u2014we\u2019re not really

has helped center me\u2014it helped keep me focused.\u00a0 Instead of getting sidetracked\u2014which I do a lot\u2014get sidetracked\u2014get frustrated about different things\u2014if I remember, \u201cOkay, what am I here to do with these kids?\u201d \u2014\u201cIs laying the foundation for many godly generations,\u201d\u2014\u201cOkay, what am I doing today to do that?\u201d\u00a0 It just kind of helps me alleviate frustration.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, the thing I do every morning is have a devotion with the kids and just sit around and pray.\u00a0 We pray for

the foundation for many generations.\u201d\u00a0 So, for me, as a mom, that has helped me see where we are going.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I want to just underscore that for a moment because if you don\u2019t know where you are going, then, you\u2019re going to start comparing your family with other families.\u00a0 You can always find somebody who is doing something better than you\u2014so, you\u2019re going to say, \u201cWe\u2019re not in enough athletics,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rhonda:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0

as a family, running around, taking your kids to all the practices, all the events, all the athletic endeavors.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re about, as a family, the world\u2019s got a plan for your family.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rhonda:<\/strong>\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It wants it to be too busy.\u00a0 I do think, today, one of the biggest sins of young families today is they have too much going on because of what you just said, Rhonda.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have their own plan.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have their own vision.\u00a0 So, they are taking their marching orders from the world or by comparing themselves with other families.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 So true.\u00a0 In fact, in all the studies that we\u2019ve done on goal-setting, we\u2019ve found that if you write a goal one time\u2014even forget that you wrote it\u2014there is a 73 percent chance you\u2019ll accomplish that goal.\u00a0 How many of us would love to have a 73 percent chance\u2014pushing us toward what we want?\u00a0 You know?\u00a0 But if you write a goal and look at it often, there\u2019s a 93 percent chance you\u2019ll accomplish that goal.\u00a0 What a powerful thing to have some method of\u2014number one, writing the goal; number two, having it in front of you so you can see it often.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut according to Habakkuk, Chapter 2\u2014and I really believe this is the foundation of our book, The <em>Family-iD<\/em>\u2014Habakkuk, Chapter 2, verses 2 and 3.\u00a0 It says, \u201cWrite down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you so that it can be read at a glance.\u00a0 Put it in writing because it is not yet time for it to come true, but the time is coming quickly and what I show you will come true.\u00a0 It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it.\u00a0 It will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat a powerful word that, if your vision comes from God, it appears, based upon this Scripture, that there\u2019s a 100 percent chance that it will come to pass.\u00a0 Man, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever wanted, Dennis, is a 100 percent chance.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, really.\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking of your goal of one million families who have spiritual direction for their legacies\u2014for the generations that follow them.\u00a0 Now, that you have it written down, there\u2019s a greater probability of that becoming true.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tell me how you move from being a family that just did this on your own to begin to partner with other ministries and reach out to others to equip them to do the same.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, really, when Rhonda and I went away and wrote our family mission, and vision, and values, we came home, literally, on fire.\u00a0 I went back to our little small group that we led, and I began to share what God had revealed to us.\u00a0 For literally six months, that\u2019s all I could talk about\u2014is the deeper revelation that I received from doing this\u2014how it changed the way I looked at my work.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI began to make decisions based on how they were going to impact two, and three, and four generations from now instead of what was my short-term view, which is like two weeks.\u00a0 I made almost every decision based on how it was going to impact my next two paychecks; you know?\u00a0 Now, I begin to think, \u201cMan, if I make decisions\u2014if we make decisions based on how they\u2019re going to impact our future generations, we make some really wise decisions that way.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, give me an example of a decision you would have said, \u201cOkay, here\u2019s our vision; here\u2019s our mission.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to say, \u2018No,\u2019 to that because it\u2019s not the

\u2014a decision to go somewhere\u2014perhaps, on a mission trip?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s correct.\u00a0 You know, just the things that\u2014yes, we decided to do\u2014when it came to family ministry projects\u2014that really Rhonda and I wanted to do something where we could\u2014our children could see us doing something that would help those that are less fortunate than us instead of just going to\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2014Disneyland or whatever, which is wonderful; but we felt like if we could do a family ministry project for those that are homeless in our city that\u2014that was a decision that we made, based upon the fact that we want our children to grow up seeing that others are more important than themselves\u2014to have a healthy preoccupation with the preciousness of others.\u00a0 We just know that, for us, to lay this foundation in their hearts for many godly generations\u2014that\u2019s the decisions we wanted to make.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know\u2014just how many sports our children are going to be involved in\u2014are we going to let them do three different sports?\u00a0 And the answer is, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0 They can do one sport at a time.\u00a0 Okay?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 That way we don\u2019t become a taxi service where we\u2019re just running kids around and trying to have family life on the fly.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rhonda:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think about this decision, too\u2014about having my mother move in with us.\u00a0 We thought that would be awesome for her to move in.\u00a0 We made a little apartment for her\u2014for the kids to be involved in her life, helping to take care of her.\u00a0 That was a decision, I think, because of our family vision.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think we ever would have done that if it hadn\u2019t have been.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Or it\u2019s just our core family values.\u00a0 One of our family values is that we would show honor and respect for those that are older.\u00a0 That\u2019s another\u2014yes, something that we did to live out this family value.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain how this would work for a single-parent mom who maybe is sharing custody with her former husband, whose values may not be the same as hers; but she\u2019s really wanting to set a course for her family.\u00a0 She\u2019s wondering, \u201cHow do I do that?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Every coach that has a team\u2014he only gets to spend maybe two hours a day with that boy or that girl on his team; but because that coach has a vision, then, that student will actually take on the values of the team.\u00a0 He\u2019ll put himself under the disciplines of the team.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn so many cases, that coach has to send that student back into some of the most dysfunctional environments on the earth.\u00a0 Yet, that student comes back to that team.\u00a0 They do their homework, even though they don\u2019t\u2014no one at home requires them to do homework\u2014but because they want to be on this team and this coach has sold them this vision, they, then, will let the entire rest of their life be dictated by the values, and the goals, and the vision of the team.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, that single parent who maybe only sees that child every other weekend or they have to send that child back to a parent that does not always have the same values that they have\u2014I\u2019m just telling you, \u201cYour children will adopt the vision of the group that has a vision\u2014they will adopt it.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSomeone asked me once, \u201cWell, Greg, what if your father-in-law had a vision for his family\u2014then, you were asked to marry into that family?\u00a0 Was there a conflict in the vision you have and the vision he has?\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cYou know, as a young man, I was looking for something to believe in.\u201d\u00a0 I would have bought almost anybody\u2019s vision\u2014just, \u201cSomebody present me something.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 I said, \u201cSo, that\u2019s basically what all of our children are looking for:\u00a0 \u2018Somebody show me a vision that would resonate in my very DNA, and I will buy it.\u00a0 I will swallow that thing hook, line, and sinker if someone will just give me something to stand for, something to believe in.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 What I hear you saying is:\u00a0 \u201cA single-parent mom or dad just needs to accept what influence they do have and realize that\u2019s not a hopeless situation.\u00a0 God can burn those convictions into that son or daughter\u2019s heart.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne other thing you talk about, as you talk about mission, and vision, and values for families, is you have a concept of a slogan?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s an iD slogan?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Illustrate what you mean by that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, you know, just as we\u2019ve\u2014we hear these slogans that companies have created like, \u201cJust do it,\u201d \u201cYou deserve a break today\u201d\u2014these little slogans that kind of say, \u201cThis is what our identity is.\u00a0 This is what I\u2019m identified by.\u201d\u00a0 So, we want to help families also create this little slogan.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne family had a slogan of \u201cRock and Role.\u201d\u00a0 The Rock is, \u201cWe\u2019re going to build our faith on the Rock of Jesus Christ; and then, we\u2019re going to be a role model.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s R-O-L-E instead of R-O-L-L; right?\u00a0\u00a0 So, here they have this slogan\u2014this family slogan\u2014that when they say it, it\u2019s kind of an inside joke.\u00a0 It\u2019s like only the people in their family would really understand what that means.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>Another one, a family had:\u00a0 \u201cYou first.\u201d\u00a0 From time to time, they would say to their children, \u201cHey, was that a \u2018You-first\u2019 attitude?\u00a0 Were you putting others first in the way you did that or said that?\u201d\u00a0 They even had a challenge with the kids wanting to ride shotgun in the front seat of the car.\u00a0 The kids would all claim, \u201cI get shotgun!\u00a0 I get to sit in the front seat.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cIs that a \u2018You-first\u2019 attitude to always be the one who wants to get in the front seat?\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cYou know what we\u2019re going to do?\u00a0 We\u2019re going to make it to where, now, to get in the front seat, you have to have someone offer you the front seat.\u201d\u00a0 They had the kids working this out before they got to the car.\u00a0 \u201cHey, if you\u2019ll offer me

I\u2019ll say, \u201cAre we laying the foundation right now?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWell, no, Mom.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cOkay, so, let\u2019s get things worked out,\u201d\u2014just a little reminder that we are here for a bigger purpose than getting your own way.\u00a0 I mean, because we all want our own way.\u00a0 We always want the blue cup or whatever, but just reminding them that we\u2019re here for a different type of a purpose.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe feel so strongly that raising our children is kind of laying the ground work for a marriageable person.\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s what they will become in the family\u2014will be how they are as a marriage partner.\u00a0 So, we think that\u2019s a\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Really, I believe one of best training grounds for marriage is the sibling relationship.\u00a0 What other relationship will we ever be in where we have to share the same bathroom, the same kitchen with a person that\u2019s not always kind, not always loving, and not always mature?\u00a0 Well, the only other relationship we\u2019ll ever be in, other than a sibling relationship, is in marriage.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, based upon the way I treated my siblings, growing up, I was not being trained in marriage.\u00a0 I was being trained in divorce, and psychological warfare, and hurting my siblings.\u00a0 Literally, I drove my siblings outside the family to get their needs met.\u00a0 Thus, peer pressure became almost insurmountable for them because they\u2014I wouldn\u2019t let them be on my team. I would not accept them, and build them up, and speak into them and over them.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLike you said, someone is going to tell your children who they are.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be their friends, or the world, or it\u2019s going to be their family.\u00a0 So, I really believe that this is a very powerful tool for us to train up the next generation.\u00a0

listening pretty much the entire 20 years that we\u2019ve been on the air.\u00a0 Then, I\u2019ve talked to others who are relatively new listeners to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> but who also commented on how God is using this program to help strengthen their marriage and their family.\u00a0 <br><br>That\u2019s our goal here\u2014we want <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> to effectively develop godly
