Christ Redeems what you Regret (Bad Parents 5 - Pastor Steve)

Christ Redeems what you Regret (Bad Parents 5 - Pastor Steve)

Author: 922 Ministries May 11, 2026 Duration: 21:43

Some Christians have dramatic conversion stories. Others can only shrug and say, "I don't know — I guess I was just raised that way." Is the second kind of story really less of a miracle?

In this message from our "Bad Parents of the Bible" series, Pastor Steve introduces us to Eunice — Timothy's mom — and what she teaches us about generational faithfulness. She wasn't a super mom. She married outside her faith, compromised in ways she likely regretted, and still God used her to raise a pastor and missionary who would help shape the early church.

If you're a parent carrying guilt over your past — words your kids overheard, choices that shaped your family, seasons you weren't faithful — this message is for you. Christ has redeemed the things that you regret. Faith does not pass through perfect parents. It passes through forgiven parents. That's the only kind of parent God has ever had to work with.
