In 2012 VHC added a very dynamic course designed to equip parents in their formidable task of raising children. The class is called Loving Your Kids on Purpose by Danny Silk. Several of our families have been apart of this class, and I must say it is excellent. The class meets on the same Saturday as Freedom Kids and there are several sessions left. We will be offering it again in the near future.
Danny Silk is an excellent communicator. He has a degree in counseling, and is part of the staff at Bethel Church in
I won’t attempt in this article to re-preach his message, but I do want to highlight several of the truths that are transformative....meaning it will change how you live your life...seriously. The full video is on our valleyharvest.net website along with detailed notes. (thank you Stephanie)
Excerpts:
Where there is no honor, everyone is afraid..When people are afraid, they want control ...fear begets control in relationships.
1John 4:18 Perfect love casts out fear. (likewise fear casts out love)
Relationships of heaven are held together by Honor.
I am not going to allow how respectful you are to determine how respectful I am....or how honorable you are to determine how honoring I am.
We need to be searching for the wonder and uniqueness in individuals ...What is it about that someone are we going to fight and protect, preserve, build and promote..what in them are we willing to die for?
One is elevated in their status as a result of their relationship with us.....there are no expendables...none that we look as disposable .... that attitude creates an environment of safety and freedom.
This message is a paradigm shift in how we function in relationships...especially difficult ones. It will have direct application in your home, workplace and everywhere. Let’s not stay the same...let’s grow as leaders in our culture and practice this dynamic of honor for the glory of God.
Keep Advancing Freedom!
Pastor Rodney
