What profound role do mothers play in shaping the lives of their children?

In the video, Brandon Scroggins underscores the crucial role of mothers in the lives of their children. He highlights the central nature of a mother's role, often associated with nurturing and daily interaction. Mothers, he notes, serve, instruct, and correct, tirelessly engaging with their children from morning till evening.

This perspective draws parallels with Deuteronomy 6:4-9, emphasizing teaching and nurturing throughout the day, imparting Christ's teachings through daily activities, instilling a fear of God, and guiding children to live for the glory of God. Additionally, mothers play a significant part in teaching their children respect, honor, and how to interact within the family. 

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NKJV): "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." 

Well, I can't think of a more central role than the role of a mother. When we think of the role of a father, we think of the role of leadership. But when we think of the role of a mother, we think of nurturing. We think of the daily activity of a mother who is with those children day in and day out, hour after hour. And she's serving, she's instructing, she's correcting.

She's helping connect dots from the scriptures to the daily things that those children are experiencing. And so she's hands-on from the morning to the evening. So it's Deuteronomy 6, 4 through 9. She's teaching as she goes, as she gets up, as she lays down. And through that she's nurturing.

But the central aspect of a mother, throughout the daily life of her children, she's impressing Christ on their souls. She's impressing Christ on their souls through all of the normal daily activities. And they're learning to fear God through just the daily things that they're doing. And they're learning to do everything to the glory of God. They're learning how to live under authority.

They're learning how to treat a mother. They're learning how to one day treat a wife or how a wife is to be treated. They're learning how to treat sisters and they're learning how to honor ladies. They're learning the role of young men in the home. There's so much that's being caught, even though it may not be explicitly taught through her ministry.
