Discipleship Parenting

In the beginning, God created male and female and brought the two together in marriage. It should be no surprise then that the way God made man and woman impacts our relationships in this sacred union. It is for this reason that God helps us out in the Bible with two commands: Respect him. Love her.

Our desire should be for our children to have a deep-rooted faith. As Christian parents, God tells us in the Bible what we need to do. By God's grace, we will see the next generation in our homes grow up knowing God's Word, living it out, and standing on its authority.

Self-love is popular today, but is happiness really found when we love our authentic self and live out our truth? Let's talk about it. What does God say in the Bible?

The Church filled with the Holy Spirit is a demonstration of power in the world. God has equipped Christians with everything we need to boldly live and do His work each day.

Despite what is often said, the Christian life is not radical. No, it is the rebellious world that rightfully gets this title.  

We have good news! Yet we need to share some bad news first. We pray everyone joins us for this important podcast episode.

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.
