Altars, arrows, the Arrow of the Lord, darts from the enemy and the economy of spiritual warfare. What do these things have to do with parenting? Much more than the forces of spiritual darkness would like us to think!

In this episode, we challenge the economies of parenting and specifically the deconstruction of the altar of self-reliance. Many parents can find themselves under its pervasive control over how their family is run and controlled in their thoughts and decision making processes from a debt that is owed to this altar and system of sacrifice.

The easiest way to win a battle is to make sure that the enemy never has a weapon to fight with. This is the strategy of the enemy in spiritual warfare as the accumulating debt to the altar of self-reliance in parenting, eventually leads to the cost of our arrows. We take thoughts captive for Christ to reveal these altars in parenting and replace it with the altar to the Lord in our minds for parenting that relies on the strength of the Lord. It’s time to take back what the enemy is stealing from parents!
