Discipleship Parenting

God cares about the big details of our lives, but has no interest in the small stuff, right? It is easy to feel this way, but it isn't the case. God is active in all things, working them for our good. So, let's take all our burdens to God and thank Him in every circumstance.

We like talking about God as loving, patient, forgiving, and merciful, but not that He is also holy, righteous, and just. God is the righteous judge that will punish people for their sins. It is an uncomfortable truth, but is one that reminds us of the incredible gift of Jesus and the urgent mission of our lives.

Jesus is our greatest treasure and the Bible is filled with God's promises for every believer. We are rich! As Christians, let's use what God has blessed us with to courageously follow Him.

God is clear in the Bible that discipleship works. As we look at our lives, we are actually great disciple makers in many things. Yet, let's make sure we are discipling our kids in the way that counts most - passing on our faith. So, whether you have young kids or old, now is the perfect time to begin. Join us as we discuss how to do this important job.

In life, we are willing to do hard things when we see that the benefits far exceed the costs. There is something in our marriage that fits this description. It is something that is challenging and takes determination, but the blessings of doing it make it worth the effort. Are you ready to fight for something of great worth?

Wrestle mania is real and happens throughout our lives as we struggle to make big decisions. Yet, we cannot find ourselves paralyzed to move or making decisions based on fears, insecurities, and lies. So, as Christians, how do we go from wrestling to decision making?

Christians, Jesus has given us all a clear command in life. Do you know what it is? It doesn't matter what your age is, where you work, what type of personality you have, where you live, how much you make, or anything else. We have all been called to the same thing. So, let's make sure we know what it is, how to do it, and understand the blessing of living it out.

Following Jesus is hard from the moment we pick up the Bible and the light of God's Word shines into the darkness of our sins. Yet, following Him is worth the cost! Don't turn around when things get tough and you feel like you are in the wilderness. Remember what you have been set free from and the true life Jesus has given you.

Take a walk down two different roads with us today. Let's see that sin comes with a cost, a very great cost. It is only in walking with Jesus that we find real hope and true life. He's calling to each of us, "Follow me."

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever! This truth is life-changing and emboldening. The God of the impossible that we see in the Bible is the same God working in our lives today. It's time as a Church and as Christian parents to fearlessly follow God and experience the blessing of living our life by faith.

You will have seasons in your life that will feel like Jericho, day 6. You've followed God's ways. You've been trusting that his plan is the best. But, you have yet to see him come through in victory. This podcast in an encouragement to stay the course. Our God does not fail, no matter how impossible things may feel on day six. Don't forget, day seven is coming!

I don't think we realize how much of our day we hear lies or speak them to ourselves. While most people brush off lying as nothing serious, that is, well, a lie. Lies are dangerous and can enslave us down a road of destruction. God offers us freedom by knowing, speaking, and living by the truth of God's Word.

We can't compromise. We can't conform. We can't bow to the pressure. When it comes to making decisions that will impact our children's faith, they need us to think beyond the immediate to their eternity. They need us rooted in God's Word and ready to stand at the moment of decision.

Who doesn't like life all neat and tidy? Yet, what if it's best for us and for our families to get messy? What if it's best for the church to step into the mess of others? In this podcast, let's talk about why it's important and a blessing to get messy as Christians.

Maybe the best thing any of us can do right now is just stop. Less talking. Less thinking. Less planning. It's time to stop and spend time with God.

Are you selfish? Me too. Selfish ambition is listed in the Bible as an act of the flesh. In other words, it comes naturally to all of us as sinners. Yet, as Christians, we live life by the Spirit where we daily die to our fleshly desires. So, what does this look like with selfishness?

Have you ever felt this way? You are questioning where God wants you or what His purpose is in the place He has you. I think we can all relate as we have all found ourselves in this situation at least once. The great news is you aren't stuck. There is something you can do.

We live in a culture where instant gratification is the norm. While it can be an amazing thing to get orders on the same day, this lifestyle becomes a problem when it impacts our faith. In fact, as Christians, we are called to a life of delayed gratification.

God designed the human body to be active. In the same way, as the body of Christ, God has equipped us and commanded us to go and do. Let's examine our lives to make sure we are all working together to be a Church on the move because a healthy Church is an active Church.

Christian parents, it's time to encourage our children to rise up. The world has left the next generation in a sad state and this is unfortunately true inside the church too. Let's show them the true life found in following Jesus. Let's equip them to stand in the battle. Let's teach them the amazing truth that God has a purpose for their lives.

Christian men, rise up! Our marriages, our children, our churches, this world, need us and the time is now. Are you willing to do whatever it takes?

Ladies, there are so many outlets in the world telling us that it's our time to rise up. As a Christian woman, I agree! Let's rise up and let God lead us to a life of strength, beauty and purpose.

How do we grow in our faith as a husband and wife? How do we teach our kids to know the Bible? How do we overcome the constant messages of the world all day, every day? It all starts with opening up the Bible and spending time with God.
