He said, \u201cWhen a mom and a dad know how long a child is going to live, that changes the way they parent the child.\u201d Tim goes on to say, \u201cI know how long every child is going to live; they\u2019re going to live forever.\u201d When we have eternity in focus, and we\u2019re thinking about our kids in light of eternity, it does change the strategy we employ, as parents, and the strategy that churches should be using to connect with kids. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDave and Ann Wilson have been talking today to Valerie Bell, Matt Markins, and Mike Handler. They are the coauthors of a book called <em>Resilient: Child Discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church<\/em>. We\u2019ve got copies of the book in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center. This is good, not just for church leaders, this is a <em>great<\/em> book for moms and dads to be thinking, strategically, about how we disciple our sons and daughters. You can go online at FamilyLifeToday.com to get a copy of the book, <em>Resilient<\/em>. Again, our website is FamilyLifeToday.com; or you can call 1-800-358-6329 to order your copy; that\u2019s 1-800-\u201cF\u201d as in family, \u201cL\u201d as in life, and then the word, \u201cTODAY.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, many of you have heard us talk, on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>, about a core group of people, who make this daily radio program\/ make this podcast possible for all of us. It\u2019s our monthly Legacy Partners, those of you who support this ministry, month in and month out, financially. And here, at the end of August, we are praying that God would raise up, in every city where <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> is currently heard, two new families who would join us as monthly Legacy Partners. You would be a part of the team that makes <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> possible in your community and would help us reach more people more often. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf you\u2019re a long-time listener, and you\u2019ve thought about becoming a Legacy Partner, this is a great time for you to join. Let me tell you why. When you become a Legacy Partner today, we want to send you a copy of Dave and Ann Wilson\u2019s new book, <em>No Perfect Parents<\/em>. We\u2019re also going to send you an all-access pass to a variety of messages from Dave and Ann\/messages that\u2014some of them have been featured on <em>FamilyLife Today,<\/em> but some of them are messages we haven\u2019t shared with our listening audience yet\u2014you\u2019ll get access to those messages online. <em>And<\/em> we\u2019ll send you a certificate so that you and your spouse, or someone you know, can attend, as your guest, an upcoming <em>Weekend to Remember<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> marriage getaway. We\u2019re about to kick off the fall season of getaways. We\u2019ll send you a certificate that gives you entrance into a getaway of your choice. All of that when you become a monthly Legacy Partner.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAgain, we\u2019re praying that, in every city where <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> is heard, there would be two families who would step forward and say, \u201cWe want to help make <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> possible in our community.\u201d So would you be one of those two families?
