The common belief that a godly home guarantees godly kids is a distortion of Proverbs 22:6, which is a principle of wisdom, not a binding promise. Pastor Bill and Carrie argue that the true goal of Christian parenting is to raise children who genuinely seek God — not merely children who behave well. Good behavior without a transformed heart is 'goodliness,' not godliness. Parents are called to faithfulness, not perfection, and must model authentic God-seeking themselves, surrender control, stay present, and trust that God loves their children even more than they do.
