This week on Significant Life, we're talking about un-circumstantial joy. What choices can we make in our attitudes when we face challenging circumstances. And how do we identify thoughts and perspectives that are destructive to us? "Check the fruit before you FREAK!"
===============
ALL-NEW :: Significant Life Foundation
Marcus and Jen have just launched a brand-new charitable foundation, inspired by their daughter, Addison, who was born with Down Syndrome, and deeply influenced by their work of advocacy and support over the past 20 years.
We believe every life is a precious masterpiece, and uniquely embued by God with intrinsic, incalculable worth. Every person has a powerful purpose, but not everyone has equal access to opportunities. And that's why we exist!
The Significant Life Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, dedicated to the empowerment of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the full expression of their God-given purpose. We address the three cardinal concerns of adults and families living with these challenges: work, live, play. We champion interdependent residential living, meaningful work opportunities and integrated, vibrant social connections that create significant friendship connections.

In this thought-provoking episode, Marcus and Jen delve into the challenge of PARENTING ON PRINCIPLE. It's far more than relying on rules, regulations, and prescriptions. We discuss preparing our children for the path, not the path for our children. This refreshing approach shifts the focus from an attempt to control every aspect of our child's life, toward surrender and service--becoming their mentor and coach.
We explore three key concepts essential to this parenting paradigm:
1. Point Your Child to a Relationship with Jesus: Guide your child towards a personal and meaningful connection with God. Life's foundation--the ROCK--is found in Him. Begin first by helping them develop a deep, intrinsic understanding of who they are in Christ.
2. Model a Life on the Rock: As parents, we lead by example. We discuss the significance of modeling the values and principles we wish to impart to our children. By living our lives on the Rock of Jesus Christ, we give them an example to follow.
3. Teach Your Child How to Think: Rather than feeding them a list of rules, coach them with the building blocks of how to make good decisions. This involves asking good questions, and developing critical thinking skills they can apply an any situation. Encouraging them to question, analyze, and make informed decisions fosters independence and resilience.
By embracing these principles, parents can raise thoughtful, Jesus-first children who can navigate life's challenges with confidence. Join us in this exploration of parenting grounded in values, and learn how to release control, becoming the ultimate coach in your child's life. It's a transformative approach that can leave a lasting legacy of wisdom, character, and faith.
