Before we have children, people tell us that parenting is really hard. But it’s not until you get into the midst of your parenting journey that you realize just how many challenges you face in building a thriving family. Jay talks about four factors that make parenting so difficult: 1) Your family is filled with sinful humans, 2) Mother Nature is trying to kill us, 3) The world is not helpful, and 4) You are in a spiritual battle. Once we’ve identified the myriad of challenges, Jay offers hope and encouragement from God’s Word in this installment of our Parenting Challenges series.
