For The Long Haul

In the final message of the Modern Family series, Pastor Matt wraps up with a heartfelt and practical look at what it means to parent with purpose. Using Deuteronomy 6 as the foundation, he challenges parents to "imagine the end"—to think beyond grades, sports, and achievements, and instead aim to raise kids who truly love God and love others. Through honest reflection, real-life stories, and five parenting values (make it personal, create a rhythm, widen the circle, fight for the heart, and imagine the end), the message emphasizes that while there are no guarantees in parenting, we can be intentional with the time we have. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s faithfulness in using our influence to disciple our kids and leave a legacy that lasts far beyond 6,570 days.
