Parenting isn’t easy, and if you’re not leading your kids—culture will. In this message from the Home Improvement series, we look at the parable of the prodigal son through the lens of parenting and discover three powerful lessons: parents are leaders who go first, kids must be shaped intentionally or the world will do it for us, and every child needs a home they can return to.

Whether you’re raising young kids, guiding teens, or influencing the next generation in another role, this message is a reminder that intentional parenting beats accidental influence—and that God’s love and grace set the model for every home.
