In this summer edition of Timeless Parenting, we spoke with our guest, Christine Jensen, about setting goals and priorities for ourselves and our families. We reflected on questions like:

• What worldly priorities can influence our parenting?
• Why isn't happiness a good aim for our children?
• How can we set goals for our family when so much is out of our control?
• What is a better aim for our children than achievement or success?
• How can we love our children as God loves us?
• What are some good personal, daily goals?

This conversation will help you to get intentional about living out your Christian faith in front of your children.
