  ON THIS EPISODE: Many adults were never spanked and others were abused. So we understand how it can be very difficult to know what a "good" or “right” spanking should be like. Scripture assumes readers to understand what a “good” and “bad” spanking looks like… but that’s not the case anymore. This episode we want to give you some quick guidel...

“Spanking” is a word in parenting circles that immediately creates tension. We all understand why… there are folks on either side of the issue who have a strong opinion about the subject… Some feel any time a parent strikes a child it’s wrong and abusive. Many of the people who feel that way were in fact abused by a parent or authority figure, sometimes even under t...

  ON THIS EPISODE: I'm sure you've heard the term and you've probably experienced the result of the phrase. One size fits all. The only thing I have ever experienced where one size really does fit all is with those professional flexible band, major league baseball type ball caps. But in most circumstances, one size does not. And that's true of parenting as well. When it comes to the issue of...

  ON THIS EPISODE: What do you think of when you hear the word “discipline?” Exercise? Dieting? Punishment or correction? It’s a word that certainly has a place in all those contexts… and it’s also a word that comes into play for Christian parents almost daily as they seek to train their kids for godly living. Don’t let the difficulties you have potentiall...

According to my Mom (who can tell a story, but seldom makes things up). this friend often got calls from the school that her kids were in the Principal’s office… but every time she did, according to the friend, “It’s their friends...

  ON THIS EPISODE: Every parent comes into their role as Mom or Dad with NO experience. There’s also no step by step user’s manual to help us get our feet under us. But there are role models we can look to who can give us an idea of what we’re supposed to do as parents. Our best role model is God Himself, our loving and perfect Father. This episode is designed to help you th...

  ON THIS EPISODE: God fearing parenting requires that you, the parent, consistently engage with Christ on a personal basis, for yourself. It's not about rules you impose on your kids or values you teach to them... at least not as a first-order thing. You've got to be focusing on your own vibrant relationship with Christ. Today, we're going to introduce you to a topic and a resource that had...

  ON THIS EPISODE: If I were to ask you, “Are you're willing to do whatever it takes to equip your kids to be adults who honor and love the Lord?” you'd likely say, “Yes.” But what if I asked you this question? “Are you willing to do whatever it takes to overcome YOUR OWN fears and insecurities and baggage, so THAT you can best equip them to be that kind of adult...

  ON THIS EPISODE: Imagine for a moment that you're driving down the road and the warning light on the dashboard of your car comes on. What is that telling you? It's telling you that something on the inside of your engine or in the mechanics of your car is not working properly. What do you do when the light is shining in your face? Ignore it? Worry? Call the mechanic? Did you know that your k...

  ON THIS EPISODE: Take a little bit of time to consider this question… “What is the environment of your home like?” We’re not asking whether you have AC or heat or just open windows. We’re not asking whether or not your house is clean or dirty. What we’re talking about is the spiritual environment of your home. Is it an environment that magnifies and upli...

  ON THIS EPISODE: Many of the more important things in life require periodic checkups — a financial portfolio, your car’s engine, and your physical health are all examples.

ON THIS EPISODE Think about your day, you make your plans. You're gonna go to work and at work, you'll be doing this and that. And you might need to go to the lunch with a friend during work, the wife might be thinking, I need to go to this store. I need to take the kids to school. So you plan out your day with the things that you need to do, and it involves your car, driving you all these differe...

ON THIS EPISODE: The last few episodes, we have talked about the responsibility of parents to get their own spiritual life on track. Does that mean you should make that into a big checklist that you hammer through every day? That’s not be best idea.
