What do you put Next to God? (Bad Parents 4- Pastor Jared)
What we place next to God, our kids learn to place above Him.
In the fourth week of our Bad Parents series, we walk through the full arc of Gideon's life — from a frightened farmer threshing wheat in a winepress, to the unlikely judge who routed the Midianites with 300 men, torches, and clay pots, to the cautionary turn at the end of his story. Along the way we see how faith grows step by step… and how compromise sneaks in the same way.
A few things worth sitting with:
* Faith is just believing what God says about you is true.
* Even shaky faith can take a step.
* Compromise isn't always wrong — but what we set beside God can quietly become a snare for the next generation.
* Jesus didn't almost rise. He rose completely.
