Parenting to Release Leaders into Society

When Jesus read Isaiah 61 in the synagogue, He declared that this prophecy was fulfilled in Him (Luke 4:18–21). But notice something powerful: this passage isn’t just about personal salvation—it’s also about transformation. The anointed ones are called to proclaim truth, bring healing, and rebuild what’s broken in society. As parents, our calling goes beyond raising “good children” who stay out of trouble. God invites us to raise Kingdom leaders—men and women who will step into the world carrying God’s Spirit, equipped to rebuild communities, restore dignity, and bring justice where there is brokenness. Think of Moses’ mother, Jochebed (Exodus 2). She only had a short time to raise her son before releasing him into Pharaoh’s household, yet her intentionality left an indelible mark on his life. Moses would later lead an entire nation out of bondage. Likewise, we are raising our children not just for our homes, but for God’s purposes in the wider world.
