You may have heard the term, The Bible is the guide book or instruction manual for life. But understanding the scriptures and applying them to every day experiences, circumstances, and using them to disciple children in the way they should go is not always super clear or cookie cutter. Join Isaac and Angie for this clear and encouraging episode on how to utilize the Bible in these five foundational areas of parenting: decision making, discipleship, encouraging family members in walking in Christ, influencing convictions and beliefs, and discipline. There are so many decisions we have to make as parents and we need biblical truth to guide us. In addition, if you desire a legacy where your children are in alignment in their beliefs it is super important that there is unity in their view of scripture and obedience to the Word. This is surely going to spur on couples to have deeper conversations about living out what the Bible says in very practical areas of their lives.  We only endorse companies where we are customers first, these are great companies REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries CTC Math https://ctcmath.com/ Get the FREE “Cultivating an Unshakable Family” workshop with the Tolpins at https://www.becourageousministry.org/workshop

Don’t buy into “Let kids be kids” or the warnings of “Don’t let children grow up too fast”. As Christian parents you do want your children to mature faster than the people around them in the right ways. We believe it’s important that Christian children are ready to lead in righteousness versus falling to waywardness. When they mature faster, it’s easier for them to lead. We cover eight benefits to helping your children mature faster and give you practice examples in how to do it with personal stories. Why more responsibility earlier is vital, the positive impact of having an age-integration mindset, equipping them with biblical perspectives on the world and so much more. We are seeing the fruit in raising our nine children ages 4-25 with this focus. Society is undergoing seismic changes right now and one of the positives is that barriers of entry for young people to actually pursue bigger dreams while they're in your home are vanishing with AI. Make sure your children are differentiated. This episode will help you. A couple of our favorite companies that we use!

Don’t let others and the media be the first to teach your children about UFO’s, Aliens, and the Nephilim mentioned in the bible. When you’re first to give biblical perspectives to your children, you are staying in a strong source of wisdom as one of their most important teachers. It’s vital to stay in that seat during these unprecedented times. The United States Government are in process of releasing all files related to UFOs and Aliens. We believe it’s important to be proactive parents versus reactive. This means paying attention to the likely conversations they will be having with others and giving them a biblical perspective and answer. We can’t expect our children to stand firm for biblical truth if they don’t have an answer to give others when the topic comes up. Equip your children to be confident in asserting a biblically sound view on these topics. Even if you disagree with us, this will stimulate your mind to prepare your children.
