Parents are priests over their households, responsible for their children's spiritual development.\nTHE WEIGHT ON OVERSEERS:\nHebrews 13:17 - Overseers must give an account for your spiritual wellbeing. 1 Peter 5:1-4 - Shepherd God's flock, not for gain but willingly. Acts 20:28-31 - The church was bought with God's blood (like watching a Ferrari). Savage wolves will come. James 3:1 - Teachers judged more strictly.\nBUT YOU'RE A PRIEST TOO:\n1 Peter 2:9 - ALL believers are a royal priesthood. Parents are priests over their households.

Kids are left to their own devices, forming conclusions from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, school, friends.\nTHE SOLUTION:\nStart with YOUR household first, then radiate outward: You → Family → Friends → Workplace → Strangers.
