Of all of the endeavors in a lifetime, none may be more sacred or more challenging than raising a child. A parents’ job is incredibly complicated. The emotional, social, and spiritual growth of a child are permanently marked by what their parents do and say. And, if parents aren’t intentionally impacting their child’s view of the world, the media, peers, and other outside influences will fill the gap.

So, the question is: How do parents raise wise and loving children who have a vibrant relationship with Jesus?

Whether you’re preparing to welcome an infant or seeking to connect with a teenage son or daughter, Warehouse 242 wants to partner with you on the journey.

We believe that God wants to revolutionize our thinking about parenting. If you’re wondering where to start, here are a few suggestions:
