Welcome to the Yielded Mom's Blog

Yielded Moms is a group designed to help us identify our roles and goals as parents. We will meet together monthly to explore God’s word, gain parenting wisdom and share and exchange personal trials and triumphs. We will pray for each other and we will glean from those who are wise and have already done the work of parenting according to God’s plan. Yielding isn’t a hesitation, but rather a deliberate attempt to slow and take survey of what’s around before proceeding. My hope that is what we will do here. By surveying parenting around us, we will be equipped to make decisions to merge onto the busy parenting highway or put on the brakes at a parenting trial and spend some time working there until we get a green light.

Spiritual Champions Discussion Questions

Spiritual Champions



Spiritual Champions



1.  Matt 22:37-39 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.  A second is like it love your neighbor as yourself."   Do you believe that this passage describes a Spiritual Champion?  Is this the goal you have for your children?  Is this the goal you have for yourself?  




2.  Sometimes as we process how we desire to raise our children, we realize that we have faults of our own.  What part of your relationship with God needs to be focused on to help you grow as a Spiritual Champion yourself?




3.  George Barna suggests that in order to raise Spiritual Champions, we must recognize that we are blessed.  Recall your own story of starting a family.  Say a special prayer of thanksgiving to God for your children.  (Gen 28:3)




4.  Think about the parenting you do.  Could you involve your husband more in the parental process?  Do you need to team up together and evaluate or establish your roles and goals as parents?   Praise God for the unified team you have the opportunity to be as parents of your children.  Ask God to help you work together.




5.  Think about these jobs we hold as parents.  What ones to you do well currently, and what ones would you like to improve upon?  Use the scripture references to guide you as you study these jobs given to us as parents.
