  • Summary

  • "Understand the design, the blueprint that God gave us for children and recognize that their inherent worth and dignity is found in them being made in the image of God. Not in their behavior. Not in their obedience or disobedience." - Amanda Erickson. Dr. David and Amanda Erickson are the founders of Flourishing Homes & Families, a ministry that educates, empowers, and equips Christian parents to lead their families through parenting principles rooted in Jesus's teaching. With David’s background in theology and Amanda’s love for child development, they’re passionate about helping parents find harmony at the intersection of Jesus-centered theology and modern neuroscience. David previously served as a pastor and spent fourteen years as a seminary theology professor. During this episode, Dr. David and Amanda both discuss their new book, The Flourishing Family, which intricately weaves scripture with neuroscience, offering parents a fresh and insightful approach to raising children in faith. They elaborate on their ministry’s dedication to educating and empowering Christian parents using parenting principles rooted in the teachings of Jesus, combined with insights from modern neuroscience. Key Takeaways: The Ericksons detail their evolution from foster parenting to raising their own children, realizing the importance of aligning parenting strategies with the model Jesus provides for love-filled communication and conflict resolution. They emphasize how concepts like attachment theory align beautifully with spiritual teachings, encouraging a trust-based relationship between parents and children. Addressing common parenting struggles, like discipline and obedience, the Ericksons offer insights on handling typical childhood behaviors without resorting to authoritarian tactics. They advocate for patience and self-control, urging parents to cultivate a desire for obedience rooted in understanding and trust rather than mere compliance. Flourishing Homes and Families provides valuable resources, including a "Child Development for Christian Parents" guide, that help parents understand children's developmental stages and respond with grace and guidance. They also offer group mentorship and one-on-one coaching to support parents on their journey. "We want our children to grow at the pace that God has called them to, at the way that he has designed them to so that they begin to produce the fruit that we are pouring in to see later in their lives." – Dr. David Erickson.
