We don't want our marriages, families, parenting, or homes without God. What good are blessings if His presence isn't with us? In this episode, we look at Exodus 33 and Moses' bold declaration to refuse to move forward without God, challenging us to never settle for anything less than God's abiding presence in our daily lives.

In a world constantly vying for our children's hearts and minds, parents must ask themselves a critical question: Are we being out-discipled? In this episode, we unpack why spiritual formation cannot be outsourced to Sunday mornings or Christian schools, but instead requires a proactive, 24/7 lifestyle rooted in everyday routines. Discover how to actively shape your children's faith before the culture does it for you.

Today, we want to talk about Charlie Kirk. He was a Christian brother and God used his life to impact history and millions of people around the world. We want to focus on his Christian faith and share some reflections we've had since his tragic murder. Episode 274: Reflections on Charlie Kirk originally aired on September 25, 2025.

Back to school is in the air, on our minds and all over social media. Why? Because our kids' education is a big deal. As we launch into a new year of academics and extra-curricular activities, let's stop and take a step back and look towards the future. What does a successful education look like? Are we taking the right steps toward that goal? How can we keep the right perspective about our kids' education and make sure we are equipping them for real success? Episode 46: Educating for Life originally aired on August 28, 2018.

It's summertime and you don't have to go far to see that modesty is something we need to be talking about as we raise our families in the current culture. It's so important that we understand the foundation of this issue so we don't fall for Satan's deceptive lies that tell us what we want to hear. God's ways are a blessing to us. Do we believe that when it comes to modesty?

God and power go together. God works powerfully to bring us to faith. God works in power to make us new creations. God fills us with the power of the Holy Spirit to do His work in the world. The next generation needs to know God and His powerful acts, not powerless religion. Episode 244: Powerless Religion originally aired on June 4, 2024.

Sometimes, as Christian parents, we become so focused on teaching our children the right things that we miss one of the most powerful paths of discipleship: inviting them into the joy we have in Jesus. When our children see our love for God and our satisfaction in Him, they can't help but be drawn in. Joy in Jesus is contagious.

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 learn what God says about homosexuality (and all sin) and see God's plan of salvation come through Jesus. Episode 156: God, the Bible, and Homosexuality originally aired on June 08, 2021.

How do we raise godly young ladies in our culture? Is the biblical worldview big enough to handle the tough questions our kids are asking? Are there things we can do as parents that will help our kids stay grounded in the Truth into adulthood? Join us for this special podcast interview with Sarah Stonestreet of the Colson Center as we discuss these questions together.  Links mentioned in podcast: Colson Fellows: https://www.colsonfellows.org/ Strong Woman Podcast by Sarah Stonestreet: https://colsoncenter.org/strong-women

As parents, there are so many areas of our kids' lives that we fight to control, when in reality, we have no power to do so. The good news is God gives us areas in our own lives to focus on instead. It's a powerful mindset shift that helps us focus on the things that actually work and stop wasting energy on the things that don't.

The world is happy to tell you what womanhood should look like. It's happy to tell you what you deserve and what you have the right to do. But being rooted in God's Word, abiding in his love, and trusting in him, we discover a joyful life that flourishes.

Submission and obedience aren't words most men are drawn to. But in this episode for men, we examine how Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father reveals a different way and what that means for us as husbands and fathers.

Who is Jesus? There is no topic more important to our lives than this one. Some are happy to say He was a good teacher. Others will note His loving and compassionate heart for the down and out. Still other people will applaud His willingness to speak the truth against the ruling authority. Yet His own claims don't leave room for casual appreciation. Jesus is the Son of God, our Savior. Episode 176: Who Is Jesus? originally aired on January 12, 2022.

Many things in life turn out to be much harder than we imagine - a strong marriage, raising kids, following Jesus. Yet all the best things are worth the struggle. Sometimes we get to see the blessings on the other side of the mess, and when that happens, it can serve to spur us on even more. If you feel stuck in a hard season in your home right now, this episode is an encouragement from us to keep pressing on and keep trusting God's ways.

Sin never offers what it promises. It starts so small and manageable, but soon we find ourselves a slave to it. Don't open the door to it in your marriage or family. Jesus has set us free to live a true life with Him.
