Parenting Toward the Kingdom Webinar

Listening can be hard, even for adults. So how can we raise children who listen well—to us and to the other people around them?

If you’ve ever struggled to keep a wiggly four-year-old quiet during the Anaphora, you know how easily our sense of success as parents can get tangled up with how our kids behave.

Some days the sacred feels impossibly far away—buried under the laundry, the backpacks, the dishes in the sink.

Dr. Philip Mamalakis teaches pastoral care and is Director of the Field Education program. His professional interests are in Orthodox pastoral theology and marriage, family, and parenting.

Dr. Mamalakis shares what virtues we as fathers can instill in our kids as well as why focusing on the inner journey will help us become better Christians and parents in the long run.
