Who is the first group of people you would employ after an organization-wide overhaul?

Musicians probably isn't your answer. But that's exactly who Nehemiah prioritized after Jerusalem's walls were rebuilt and gates were installed.

Singers and priests led worship and interceded on behalf of others. There's something about worship and intercession that helps keep us grounded in our God-given identity and purpose and keeps us from becoming self-absorbed.

We also see our highest calling is not to impressiveness but faithfulness and how it's necessary to have people -- not just practices and technology -- to guard us.

In Part 2, we continue investigating how children develop a healthy, Christ-centered self-esteem. In Part 1, we explored the importance of dignity; the difference between applause and affirmation; the necessity to be intentional about being attentional.

Today we look at four more ways self-esteem develops (or doesn't!)

1. Self-expression tethered to self-regulation
2. Responding to criticism
3. Grit or sticking with tasks when the fun is gone
4. Repentance and restoration

All parenting approaches do not lead to the same outcome. Learn to discern the difference between practices based on timeless truths and current fads.
