FREE RESOURCE FOR ORTHODOX PARENTS
What Is Your Family Climbing Toward?
A quick check-in to help you look at what’s getting your family’s time, energy and attention—and whether it lines up with where you really want to be headed.
Most of us don’t need another person telling us to “be more intentional.” We’re already trying.
We’re trying to get everyone where they need to be, make good decisions, keep up with school, stay connected to church, help our kids through friendship problems, manage screens, make dinner, answer emails and somehow think about the kind of people our children are becoming in the middle of all of it.
This free check-in helps you ask a bigger question: Is what’s getting most of our family’s attention helping us move toward Christ and His Church?
It’s usually not the bad things that take up our time.
It’s the good things. The sport your child loves. The school opportunity you don’t want them to miss. The activity that helps them make friends. None of these is the enemy.
But sometimes we look up and realize one of those good things is getting more of our family’s time, worry, energy or attention than we ever meant to give it. And that’s worth a closer look.
“What Is Your Family Climbing Toward?” gives you a chance to step back and look at your family as it is right now.
You may realize you’re pretty close to where you want to be. Or you may notice one area that could use a little adjusting.
Take a closer look at what’s shaping your family.
In just a few minutes, the check-in will help you think about:
Where your family’s time and energy are going?
What gets most of your attention and worry as a parent?
What stays protected when life gets busy?
How the Church fits into your family’s rhythm?
Who is helping your family grow toward Christ?
Whether one area is taking up more space than you intended?
There’s no score at the end because no Orthodox family is perfect.
You’ll simply note where you are so you can decide whether any subtle shifts would help focus your family on the ultimate goal: Christ.
Created by Faithtree Resources to help Orthodox families bring the timeless wisdom of the Church into everyday family life.
New Book for Orthodox Parents
Go one step further.
Raising Orthodox Christians was written to help families focus on what matters most when everything’s competing for their children’s attention.
When Christ is at the center, everything else begins to find its proper place. Your children grow up with an identity rooted in Him, a faith they can return to when life gets hard and a sense of purpose no résumé, achievement or opportunity can give them.
