Parenting in today’s world can feel like a full-contact sport. There are no sidelines, no safe zones, and no guaranteed outcomes. Most of us are just trying to figure it out as we go, hoping we’re not messing things up too badly. But here’s the good news: God has not left us without a blueprint.

When you think about how to raise godly kids in a culture of confusion, Deuteronomy 6 is a powerful place to start. Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses delivered a message to the parents in the crowd. And it wasn’t just about success, it was about passing on faith in God to the next generation.

He said: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
The foundation of parenting God’s way begins with us—not with what we teach, but how we live. Before you can pass on a legacy that lasts, you have to walk closely with God yourself.

Moses doesn’t stop there. He gives us the “how”:

• Talk about God consistently—at home, on the road, at bedtime, in the morning.
• Make faith part of everyday life—not just something we do at church.
• Repeat it often—because what’s repeated, is remembered.

In a world where algorithms, influencers, and entertainment shape our kids’ worldview, God calls parents to be the primary spiritual voice in their lives. Not the church. Not culture. You.

So what does it look like to raise godly kids in this generation?

It means guarding the gates. Setting boundaries around what comes into your home through phones, friendships, and streaming. It means talking about God in the car, at the dinner table, in the moments where life happens.

And it means playing the long game. You don’t just teach values once, you live them consistently. We sow God’s truth day after day, drip by drip, knowing that what’s caught often matters more than what’s taught.

It’s not easy. But nothing good, stays good, by accident. It takes courage.
