Love. Fight. Win.
“K.I.D.S.”

Ed and Lisa Young
As the marriage goes, so goes the family. And just as God has set married couples up for success, He has set families up to win as well. But winning in the family takes just as much work, just as much of a fight. In the last message of this series, Ed and Lisa Young focus on the centrality of the marriage relationship within the family, and they unpack a unique definition of “kids” that will help every family experience ultimate success.
Transcript
- [Ed] Are you guys ready to love, fight, and win? I'm Ed, this is my wife, Lisa. We've written 14 books on the subject. We've had the opportunity, Lisa, to lecture all over the place about this and the thing is, God's way works. You know, God's not playing. God's not giving us suggestions, he's saying, okay, here's the deal. You either follow it or not. And quite frankly, if we follow it, I'm telling you, success will occur, because, Lisa, I've never met a person ever who sincerely said, I'm gonna do life, I'm gonna do family God's way, I've never met a person whose life was screwed up when they truly live it out. I've not met that person yet. Now I've met a lot of people who've said Oh, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, whatever, but they don't live it out. Well living it out, Lisa, that's where it's at.
- [Lisa] And I'm so excited to be able to share, Ed and I to get together to share, to these young families who've just dedicated their children and what a beautiful experience, because today is the starting point where you have, I mean obviously when they're born and you're excited and all that but today is that commemorative day where you are dedicating them to the Lord and establishing the priorities for raising the family the way God intended it. And I wanna, we'll just have a seat here. I wanted to, I mean, Ed and I have just entered a new phase of life and you guys saw in the weekend update, our daughter, Landra, son-in-law, Brad, and Sterling and so I love being a grandma. Do you like being a grandad?
- [Ed] I love it.
- [Lisa] It's awesome, but a couple of months ago or before she was born, let's see, she's two months old, so we went to the baby store to do the registry and everything and I was blown away.
- [Ed] Have you been to a baby store lately?
- [Lisa] Blown away.
- [Ed] Unbelievable, the paraphernalia.
- [Lisa] It's unreal, I mean, I'm thinking to myself, do you need all of this stuff in order to raise a child? I mean, seriously, in fact, I mean just simply wipe, wipe warmers, that's hard to stay really fast.
