Within clergy family systems there are structural complications and resilience issues that make parenting a greater challenge due to anxiety, expectations, and complicated church and family systems that interact with each other. The purpose of this study is to explore how grown children of lead pastors describe parenting practices they found helpful during their teenage years. The literature review focused on four areas: The teaching of the Shema and Deuteronomy 6, systems theory as it relates to pastoral ministry, resilience issues for pastors with children, and teaching adolescents resilience. This study used a qualitative design that implemented semi-structured interviews with seven clergy children between the ages of 18-25 who had a positive experience within the church and with their parents. These research questions used were (1) What parenting practices concerning involvement in the church do grown children of lead pastors describe as helpful during their teenage years? (2) What hospitality practices do they describe as helpful during their teenage years? (3) What approaches to the ministry do they describe as helpful during their teenage years? (4) What changes in parenting practices do they describe as helpful during their teenage years? The findings of the research were that clergy members who parented by being intentional in prioritizing family, who engaged their children at life transitions, and who effectively taught their children the doctrines of the faith as a reflection of their own character and walk with God were effective in parenting their children. Recommended practices include adaption, awareness of human development, and communication of conflict at age-appropriate levels.
