A Whole-Life Approach to Raising Faithful Kids

It’s never been harder to be a parent. The cultural landscape is shifting faster than ever, shaping not just what our children think—but what they love, how they see themselves, and how they engage the world.

In Rooted and Grounded, pastor and author Daniel Darling and professor Dennis Greeson offer a thoughtful, deeply grounded guide to raising children with a resilient, lived-out faith. Moving beyond quick fixes and surface-level answers, they help parents understand the deeper forces shaping today’s culture—and how the gospel speaks to every part of it.

With clarity, wisdom, and pastoral insight, this book equips you to

• form your children’s worldview through Scripture and everyday life
• shape not just beliefs, but desires, habits, and identity
• navigate the formative influence of technology, media, and modern culture
• disciple your kids with a holistic “head, heart, and hands” approach

More than a parenting manual, Rooted and Grounded is a vision for intentional Christian formation in the home. As you learn to cultivate a faith that is embodied, relational, and deeply rooted in truth, you’ll also find your own faith strengthened and clarified.
