Discipleship Parenting

It's time to strike the ground with arrows and not stop. It's time to gather empty jars until there are none left. It's time to desire all that God is and offers to us as Christians.

The world is increasingly wicked. Christians, it is time to be courageous! So what is it going to take and how do we overcome our fears?

We often don't take our jealous thoughts and feelings as seriously as we should. The Bible doesn't mince words when it comes to this topic. 

Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, the promised Messiah. But don't just take our word for it, come and see for yourself!

Life is full of challenges, needs, and unknowns. God loves us and cares about these things, and desires to give us the solution we need. It just might not be what we expect.

When was the last time you stopped and marveled at God's creation? The Riot and the Dance, a nature documentary, may inspire you to step out your back door with your kids and discover the wonders of God's created world. 

Your kids need you. That isn't a suggestion, it's simply the truth. Parenting is an awesome privilege entrusted to us by God. Let's embrace it with all the strength God provides. 

Do you grasp the desperate need for prayer in your Christian life? Do you know that Jesus has given his children his Spirit so that we can pray according to his will? Are you raising little prayer warriors?

How strong is the faith of our kids? Are they only surviving because we rescue them? What about us as adults? Is our faith being propped up by others in our life?

Life is hard. Being a Christian promises to bring additional struggles and hardships. Let's be honest about what we are going through and encourage one another with God's Word. 

The book of Lamentations mourns God's judgment on His people, culminating with the fall of Jerusalem and the people being carried into exile. It's hard to read this book of the Bible and not feel a burden for America and its own rebellion against God and His good ways. Is there anything we can do?

We usually deep dive into the Bible and talk about its application for our lives as parents. This podcast we change it up by asking each other some questions.

Is true rest actually possible in a world filled with so many hardships, sorrows, and worries? Absolutely. Yet we won't find it in anything the world has to offer us. 

Sin doesn't stay in certain areas of our life where we want it to. It is unrestrained.  

A counterfeit is meant to trick you into thinking it's the real thing. It is the perfect word to describe so many aspects of the world and culture we live in. But the truth helps us see through the counterfeit and pursue the real thing. 

We've been away from podcasting the last month, but not without cause. We've been up to exciting things and along the way God has been teaching us to learn to be content to follow Him moment my moment.

God cares what we think about. Yet so often we don't stop and think. It is important that we don't find ourselves in Christian auto-drive. 

Parenting is challenging. How do we help our kids take their knowledge of God's Word and apply it to everyday situations? 

Is time ours or does it belong to God? How we answer this question impacts how we choose to use it. 

Practice is a word we can all relate to. Yet what happens when we make a practice of sinning?

Friendship with the world means enmity towards God? Does that sound a bit harsh? It might actually make a lot more sense than we'd think. 

The twelve apostles didn't have to come up with a catchy story or a winning game plan to spread the gospel. All Jesus commanded them to do was to be his witnesses of what they had seen and heard. Now it's our turn.

Crashing waves. Lighting strikes all around. Wind that threatens to capsize the boat. God, rescue me!

This question is a common one. But is the answer actually illusive? It's important to talk about it because the implications are life changing.  

What we believe is obvious because our lives show it. Let's look beyond the things we say and get to the heart of the matter. What do we really believe?
