: Deuteronomy 6 Parenting: Biblical Discipleship, Family Worship, and Raising Godly Children
This episode with Rocky Stevenson pastor of Benoni Bible Church establishes that God’s design for discipleship places primary responsibility on parents, not institutions. Rooted in Deuteronomy | 6, we are reminded that the Word must first dwell in the heart before it is faithfully taught in the home (Deuteronomy | 6:5–7). Parents are called to diligent, intentional, and daily instruction—integrating God’s truth into the ordinary rhythms of life rather than outsourcing spiritual formation.
The warning is clear: neglect leads to generational drift. When God’s Word is not central, a generation may arise that does not know Him (Judges | 2:10; Deuteronomy | 6:12). Yet the vision is hopeful—faithful parents proclaiming God’s works so that their children place their confidence in Him (Psalm | 78:4–7). This calling includes both fatherly leadership (Ephesians | 6:4) and the faithful influence of mothers (2 Timothy | 1:5; 3:15).
Ultimately, biblical parenting is not about behaviour modification but pointing children to Christ for salvation (John | 20:31; Jonah | 2:9). This message calls parents to reclaim their God-given role as disciple-makers, grounding their homes in Scripture and gospel truth.
Take time to reflect on your own home—are you intentionally passing on the faith?
