There’s a Passivity Pandemic happening in men today when it comes to leading their families and discipling their children in the faith. While husbands are responsible, there’s a lot the wife can do to help, after all two become one flesh in marriage. You will also see a spontaneous inside look into Isaac and Angie’s marriage as they discuss these things in their own lives including the day this episode was shot. Isaac goes in depth on what keeps men passive and how to overcome it, they both talk about lies men and women believe, biblical roles, and end with an unprecedented time’s tip that’s a powerful charge to seriously consider who you are surrounding yourselves with. Listen to this, then listen again with your spouse and talk through it. One of the most powerful tools as mentioned in the episode is to go through the Parenting Mentor Program together at courageousparenting.com.Be sure to subscribe to the show to be notified every Tuesday of a new episode!Get the FREE Workshop with the Tolpins “Cultivating an Unshakable Family”Companies we love who sponsor the show:CTC Math https://ctcmath.com/REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries: https://redeemhealthshare.org/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/courageous-parenting/donations

Parents MUST Keep Believing Change is Possible!
The change you desire for your family is largely dependent on your hunger to learn and grow. The more you grow, the healthier your family becomes. Why is that? Because it’s really hard to influence people to where you haven’t been. So what do you want changed in your family? The next question should be, “how do I need to grow to influence the change I desire?” You have so much more influence than you might realize, but we all need to keep learning and growing to cultivate a thriving family in these uncertain times. Your influence matters! This episode will encourage and motivate you to take your next steps.Be sure to subscribe to the show to be notified every Tuesday of a new episode!Get the FREE Workshop with the Tolpins “Cultivating an Unshakable Family”Companies we love who sponsor the show:CTC Math https://ctcmath.com/REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries: https://redeemhealthshare.org/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/courageous-parenting/donations

Navigating Halloween as Christian Parents
Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Should churches adapt something different on that day? How should Christian parents navigate halloween? These are all great questions and Isaac and Angie Tolpin take you to the scriptures in answering them with a compelling argument on why we shouldn’t participate in Halloween but instead see the opportunity to stand firm in the faith and look different than the world on that day. For your children to exercise the muscle of going against the grain with you while they are in your home even when Christians around you are doing things differently. There is a spiritual battle and the enemy wants to perpetuate spiritual confusion. The enemy rejoices in 65% or more of Christians celebrating halloween. Christians should be saying not me and my home!! But are there ways we can be evangelistic on October 31st? Absolutely and the Tolpins cover those as well.

Overcoming Failure & Discouragement as a Mom
Have you ever struggled with feeling like a failure or fear of failure, discontentment, anxiety or worry, depression, defeat, or discouragement as a Mother? I truly believe that what we do as Moms, serving our families, and discipling our children, is not only one way you can join God in participating in the Great Commission, but if you are a Mom, it is your calling to do it intentionally for the glory of Christ! That being said, because you are in ministry, the enemy is and will target you. That’s right, if you are a Mom, you are in a spiritual battle and have an enemy. God uses broken and contrite hearts in ministry (Psalm 51), so being broken vessels is the most useful to God, but we must not stop ministering because of our brokenness. Peter denied Christ 3 times, THREE, and then 50 days later preached the first sermon every given post Jesus’ ascension at Pentacost. God needs us Moms to be humble, but also filled with the Holy Spirit, courageous and resolute in our mission–unwilling to stop for the sake of the cross! Join me, Angie Tolpin, for some biblical encouragement in our roles as mothers! This is a must listen to!

When your children grow up and get married, it’s a glorious life milestone, and we get to witness our children grow up to move into the next season and journey in their lives, which will likely span their lifetime! It’s awesome, but the fallen world has completely influenced the reputation and expectations one has of the Mother-in-law and Father-in-law, so much so that none of us likely want to be one, yet we all will be one day, Lord willing. When I say we don’t want to be one, what I mean is that we don’t want to be viewed the way the world views these roles within a family!! Well, as biblical people, let’s reclaim this wonderful position and role in the family with grace, confidence, and truth! Join us for this lively conversation where we look at the role of the family parents when their children marry, leave, and cleave, as well as what the Bible teaches regarding what we could call one another, rather than MIL and FIL!
