Discipleship Parenting

What we are doing isn't working. The majority of young people who grow up active in the church walk away from the faith by adulthood. This heartbreaking statistic burdens us to ask the question: Are we willing to do whatever it takes to fight back for the next generation? 

The world has much to say about what it means to be a woman and there is a lot of pressure to buy into that image. Yet what if the Creator didn't leave the job of defining womanhood up to our cultural whims? What if He created us unique and for a specific purpose? Parents, in a world filled with counterfeit ideas of what it means to be a woman, this podcast could not be more important! Join us as...

We've been weeding overgrown gardens and realizing how much work it is to take back ground lost to thistles and dandelions. Weeds never stop trying to grow back. So, fighting to keep the ground we've gained is a constant battle. Join us as we look at the great spiritual application of this same truth and be reminded to not give up ground. 

Sometimes something is so good that you just have to tell someone about it. Join us on the podcast today as we do just that!

Before God's people enter the Promised Land, He gives them a warning about the abundant danger they will face in the land they are going in to posses. The surprise is that this is not the danger any of us would expect. As sinners ourselves, we must realize we are just as susceptible to the same danger the Israelites faced. How do we fight against this abundant danger? Listen and be equipped today....

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 says, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." As Christians, let's do whatever it takes to run the race of faith, looking at how Olympia...

Following Jesus is an adventure, a challenging trek on the narrow path. In this episode, we share the journey God has had us walking the past year. We hope it encourages you as you press on living a life surrendered to God. He is with you always in the hills and the valleys. Never stop seeking and following our amazing God.

Look throughout the Bible and you'll see lots of key characters fasting - David, Esther, Daniel, Paul, and even Jesus. But why? What is fasting? Why do it? Does it still matter for Christians today? Join us to discover how fasting can be a blessing in your life.

We want to win the big spiritual battles in life. Yet we overlook all the seemingly insignificant battles that face us every day. We must recognize that these are not small battles at all. In fact, when we start claiming victory in these moments, we are actually winning the true battles! 

As Proverbs 9:10 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Let's take a moment to get a small glimpse of God from the Bible. It is a life-changing experience that leaves us completely humbled and having a renewed awe and reverence for our holy God.

If God is real and the Bible is His Word, then that changes everything. We quickly understand that it doesn't matter what one person thinks or another. It doesn't matter what the world is celebrating or not. In this podcast episode, we dive into the Bible to see what God says about homosexuality—and all sins—and share the good news of salvation through Jesus.

Life has a way of constantly throwing challenging circumstances our way. It's easy in these moments to shrink back or look for God to prove Himself. But, the truth is, He already has. God will never change and His promises remain true. We don't need new signs and wonders. We just need the faith to remember who He is and what He has already done.

The world is a mess. The culture is in chaos. While we may feel overwhelmed, we must remember it is all symptoms of a broken world living in darkness without the truth. Are you willing to step into the mess for Jesus? What if that means looking like you are out of your mind? What if that means sacrifice and suffering?

As humans, we don't like boundary lines. We've been told they hold us back from being who we truly are. Yet the Creator has established the entire world to function within clear lines and limits. Everything has its place and its order. So how does this impact our lives as Christians?

The world constantly throws out the same question that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus before he sentenced him to death, "What is truth?" Isn't that the same cry we hear today? What is gender? What is marriage? What is life? What is truth? The Bible doesn't leave us guessing. Do you know what it says? Do you know the truth? It is important because the truth sets us free.

It's easy to feel like you know what you stand for until the realities of life start beating against your foundation like crashing waves. When the fears, questions, and pressures arise, will you hold firm to what you believe in or will you find yourself caught off guard and tossed around? 

Are we susceptible to being deluded? Is it possible that we are placing our hope, trust, satisfaction, or identity in something as foolish as a lifeless idol? Isaiah chapter 44 speaks some blunt words about the idol builder that are good for all of us to remember. 

Discipleship Parenting. What is it? Why does it matter? Does it even work? Dive into this special podcast episode where we share the first chapter of Chosen Gen's book, Discipleship Parenting Foundations . You don't have to get swept up in all the worldly pressures that try to influence you and your family. Find the courage to push back against the current of the world and stand firm as a family o...

Have you ever tried to live by God's Word and found things only got harder? Have you started discipling your kids in their faith only to find your family feels more messy than ever? Did you try sharing your faith only to have it seemingly make no difference? Today, we have some encouragement for those of you who find yourself in tough, discouraging places: double down.

Christian friendships are such a blessing! Join us as we discuss how to develop good friendships and what it looks like to be there for one another as the body of Christ. In a world of isolation and superficial social media friendships, real life with real people who share our love for Jesus is worth fighting for.  

All of us will encounter people in our lives who are hard to love. What gives us the ability to view others around us and look beyond their mess? The answer has everything to do with what you are seeing.  

Our view of God changes everything. The good news doesn't mean anything unless we first understand the character of God. In a world where mankind is elevated and pride is celebrated, we often need to be humbled. As we look at God in all His holiness, that is exactly what we experience in our lives.

How would you describe the way your family treats each other? For many of us, we could summarize our daily interactions as a struggle not to "bite and devour" one another with our words and actions. Yet it doesn't have to be this way! As Christians, we can be families bearing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. In this podcast episode, we discuss how to be a fruitful family.

How do Christians stand firm while suffering for their faith in hostile and restricted nations? Why does it matter that we hear their stories and also share them with our kids? Join us as we talk with Todd Nettleton, host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio , about the blessing of learning about our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ and his new book, "When Faith is Forbidden: 40 Days on the...

Jesus' life was all about doing God's will, no matter what the cost. As His followers, Jesus taught us to pray for the same thing. Is this the evident desire of the Church? As Christians, is a defining trait this burden and heart to see God's will done in every area of our lives? Let's seek God and pray that He would make this so throughout the entire body of Christ.
