Fear of failure as a parent can paralyze a mom or dad. In my new “What if…?” series I look at the reality of our parental failure through the lens of the gospel. We talk about:
1. Why many of our failures don’t matter
2. The reality that there will be many times when you really blow it
3. How to view your failure in the light of the gospel.
Failure is not the last word, and God can use our worst moments to shape some of the best character qualities in our children.
