On Sunday, I continued to preach on Jesus’s high priestly prayer in John 17 (audio here). I focused on how Jesus prayed for himself in the unique role the Father had given him, and on how we ought to pray for ourselves in the many other roles we’ve been assigned.
It was heavy on my mind to comment on the distortion of the parenting role in Michael Pearl’s theology and practice. These comments begin about halfway through the sermon. For those active in the controversy around the country, please pray for us in California’s north valley, where the death of Lydia Schatz occurred, as we repudiate this teaching.
