Teaching Children Character

Parenting is one of the most important callings God gives us, and central to that calling is the responsibility of teaching our children character. Culture tells parents to simply keep kids happy, but God calls us to raise them to live holy, wise, and Christ-centered lives.

In this message, Dr. Rocky Ramsey teaches 15 biblical principles of character—including obedience, honesty, gratitude, kindness, resilience, wisdom, and faithfulness. Parents are challenged to not only instruct their children in these values but also to model them in their own lives.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
— Deuteronomy 6:5-7
