COURAGEOUS PARENTING

All parents have had to deal with the reality that their children are sinners. After all, all humans sin. But the perspective we have when they sin makes all the difference. Within the Christian community over the years we have seen and heard discipline and discipleship taught as if they were different aspects of parenting, but we share our biblical reasoning, with scripture, on why we believe discipline is actually just another aspect of discipleship, and why this is so crucial in our parenting. Everything we do as parents is essentially an opportunity for discipleship, because discipleship according to Duet. 6:5-9 is woven through the fabric of one’s everyday lives. Our perspective on discipline MUST shift from being something we just do to obey God ourselves, to an opportunity to lead our children to Christ and understanding of the gospel and truly understanding their need for a Savior and a thankfulness for what He has done for us. Join Isaac and Angie for this engaging discussion, filled with biblical truth, as they share from their own personal experience in parenting nine children over the past 25 years.

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.

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.

Are you worried about one of your children, maybe a teenager, or are you feeling like there are subtle sins impacting the atmosphere of your home? Today’s podcast episode is for you! We are talking about matters of the heart; frankly, what God cares about most–repentance and reconciliation with Him! With Resurrection Sunday a week away and being in the midst of Holy Week, we are looking at the concept of spring cleaning and the metaphorical symbolism of cleaning out our hearts and minds through repentance. In addition, if you have struggled with remembering that first love you had for Christ, this episode might, Lord willing, help you in the pursuit of depth in your walk with Christ. You cannot lead your children where you are not going or have not been. Let’s lead with humility and grace as we seek to focus on the things that are most important in discipleship in our homes.
