![]() ![]() ![]() You know immediately when you walk into a home if the life of God is within its walls. ![]() God wants us to be lifegivers.īut lifegiving begins at home. Our highest purpose in this world-the one that “God so loved”-is to offer the life that we have found in Christ to others so that, in the words of our Savior, “whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Later, he records Jesus saying, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (10:10), and also “I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in Me will live even if he dies” (11:25). John starts out his gospel with a lifegiving declaration about Jesus: “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men” (1:4). Giving life is the heart of our purpose as God's followers. That’s when we understood that before there was a WholeHearted anything, there was “The Lifegiving Parent Workshop.” What we thought was a fresh and unused book title went back to the womb of our ministry. It was only then, when digging through boxes unopened for years, that we discovered our very first workshop notebook. However, it wasn’t until that book that we realized why. The concept of lifegiving as a biblical priority has always been part of our parenting vocabulary. We tell the story in The Lifegiving Parent. ![]()
