Should Our Family Get a Pet? Teaching Children Stewardship and Responsibility
byjoshmulvihill

Every child eventually asks for a pet, and parents are faced with a significant decision. While animals require financial sacrifice, training, and daily care, they also bring profound joy and companionship into a home. In this episode of the Gospel Shaped Family podcast, Josh and Jen share their family history with animals, from childhood experiences to managing dogs, cats, and farm livestock.

They explore the foundational reasons why adding a pet to your home is a beneficial choice for discipleship. Animals provide a tangible way for children to understand God’s creation and practice the biblical mandate of having dominion over the earth.

We also discuss practical ways to leverage pet ownership for character development. By giving children age appropriate responsibilities, families can teach stewardship and use the natural cycles of an animal’s life to prompt meaningful conversations about life, death, and the gospel.
