Arrows In Your Quiver: A Biblical Guide to Raising Children With Purpose

Psalm 127 gives us a powerful picture of parenting:

Children are arrows, parents are warriors, and God is the One who builds the home.

In this episode, we explore what this metaphor means for everyday family life — and how it shapes the way we raise, guide, and eventually release our children.

🌿 In this episode we explore:

• What “arrows in your quiver” really means

• How Psalm 127 shows God’s design for family and community

• Why parents carry both responsibility and blessing

• The partnership between the parent and God

• The warrior and bow imagery behind shaping a child’s life

• The five foundations every child needs:

– True salvation

– Dedication

– Godly values

– Fear of the Lord

– Belonging

• How to trust God when the time comes to release your “arrow”

Whether your children are young or grown, this message will encourage you, strengthen you, and remind you that you are not building alone.
