Countercultural Parenting

Adam Griffin, Cassie Bryant, and Chelsea Griffin kick off Season 3 talking about how we are called to countercultural parenting and what that looks like.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What did you do with your summer?
• What is our theme this season?
• Are you seeing families struggling with being different from the culture in your church?
• Is being countercultural different now than it used to be?
• What are the topics and subjects that come to mind when you think about being different than the culture?
• Are you seeing anything in youth culture that is concerning?
• There are a lot of aspects of Christianity that are not culturally normal. How do those things affect our parenting?
• One of the verses that come to mind for me on this is Romans 12:2. How does that apply to us as parents?
• Why do you think people are so tempted to be ashamed of the gospel we believe?
• Who comes to mind for y’all when you think about someone who showed you how to be countercultural well?
• How can parents know when and how to say “no”?
• How do we parent counterculturally without kids or parents villainizing people that believe differently than us? How do we keep our commitment to loving?
• How is the sifting of the church good for the church?

Helpful Definitions:

• Countercultural: There is a course to this world, a wide path to destruction; that we are called to walk differently than. Then scriptures would call us to walk a narrow path that leads to life. A path that follows Christ as the way, truth, and the life, and that will make us different.
