NEW FROM CANON

What do you want most for your kids?

A good job? A happy Marriage? Perfect attendance at every holiday? A life without enemies?

David and Esther and Job are not impressed. God’s favorite characters offer us a different vision.

The goal for parents is not to keep 
your kids forever, but instead, to 
raise men and women the world 
will need. 

Fifty years from now, who will be 
starting schools, and making laws, and preaching, and farming, and 
reporting on the truth no matter the 
cost, and beheading giants? 

Our kids. Our grandkids.

What will your family legacy be?

OUR KIDS HAVE GOD'S IMAGE.

THIS IS WHY WE MAY NOT RENDER OUR CHILDREN TO THE STATE. THEY BELONG TO GOD.

Biblical child-rearing is a gigantic custody battle between the state and Christ. We are disputing the custody of the next generation. Fifty years from now, who’s going to be fighting the battle? Our kids. Our grandkids. They’re going to be the ones in the front lines, and so we need to be equipping them now. At some point, we are not going to be in the battle anymore. The training, the allegiances, the loyalties, the information, the backbone—all of that needs to be handed on now.
