Helping Kids Pick the Right Fork

Robert Frost's immortal poem, "The Road Not Taken" speaks to the impact our choices make. This ability is hardwired into us, yet we often struggle to teach our kids (or use ourselves) a framework for how to make good choices.

Today's episode unpacks the A-LASO method.

A--Appreciate the ability to chose. This perspective helps move us into a posture of humility and stewardship.

L -- Listen to voices which honor God. This is especially critical in a time where technology has made millions of voices accessible to our kids.

A -- Ask God. How differently the world would be if Eve had said, "Mr. Serpent, I'm going to ask God about what you're saying before I try that fruit."

S -- Speak into other people's lives about the choices they're making. There's a difference between sticking our nose where it doesn't belong and remaining quiet because of fear of ridicule or abandonment or conflict.

O -- Obey. Even when it's not clear why it matters.
