Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Husband Jeremy Talk Parenting and Faith
By Movieguide® Contributor
Jinger Duggar Vuolo and her husband Jeremy Vuolo recently discussed parenting and how to raise their children to become people of faith.
“When [you] become a parent, you have to start thinking more intentionally now that you’re raising little people,” Jeremy told Kirk Cameron. “So that has spurred some really good conversations for me and Jinger, just, ‘What are we going to emphasize in their life? What are we going to promote? What direction are we going to encourage them to go, whether it’s their or career or education?’”
In all of these decisions, Jinger and Jeremy want to root themselves in the word of the Lord. They understand that the wisdom of the Lord is best and the way of the Lord is best, and to raise children of God, they need to seek God first.
“[We] just [want] to stay rooted in the word of God as our guidepost for not only our lives but for theirs as well,” Jeremy said.
To do this, the couple is not only focusing on teaching their children biblical values but living out biblical values as well to show their children how the bible applies to everyday life.
“Something we’ve talked about a lot is wanting to model for our children – in the home – a joy in our walk with the Lord [and] a love for Christ,” Jeremy said. “Kids will hear what you teach them but oftentimes the greater impact is what they see in your life.”
“So Jinger and I want to model in our home what a love or Jesus looks like with a pleasant home and one that’s attractive to them,” he continued.
“A pastor recently told me a really good line,” Jeremy concluded. “He said, ‘Your theology will out itself in the atmosphere of your home. And so what you believe will out itself in how you behave.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Jinger and Jeremy:
The couple revealed that faith is central to their relationship and that God has been their rock during difficult times.
“Honestly, this hope that we hold is the reason that we’re happily married, that we genuinely are delighted in one another. Though we disagree as any couple does, we can honestly say we’ve never had a fight. It really is the hope of Jesus. That’s the foundation. That’s how we face the ups and downs of life,” Jeremy said. “And now with two little kids, we hope to share how Jesus inspires us with our children. We really need a foundation for our lives that’s bigger than us, bigger than our circumstances… Our fortunes can change so quickly, but God never changes. What God says he will do, he does. So that is the foundation of our lives and the foundation of our marriage, the foundation of our parenting.”
Jinger added: “Whatever circumstance I’m going through, I filter everything through God’s word. When I walked through the loss of my grandma, who I love dearly, at that moment when I got the call from my mom, that’s just how I handled that. It was so tough, but I knew that God was in control. He had taken my grandma home to be with him. Knowing that brought me peace.”
