Will we go back to ‘normal’?

Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel sit down to shoot the bull, then talk about Seasons of Imbalance (12:20), including seasons of unusual work to build capitals (20:50), the fact that family leaders have the freedom to pursue unorthodox goals (35:00), an encouragement to not complain because you don’t have the perfect job or “life balance” situation (42:00), and a scriptural exhortation on the power of investment (49:30). This episode is meant to encourage any family leader in an unusual season, such as raising young children, pursuing education, doing mission work or discipleship training, starting a small business, or specifically working on your marriage. You are not unusual for having these needs, you’re not in sin, and you’re not alone!

Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel conclude their series about spiritual leadership at home with a discussion on money (4:15). They review “not being a lover of money” (7:00), being “temperate and self-controlled” (9:30), “not given to drunkenness” (yes, we’re talking about money, 12:00), not being “quarrelsome” (15:00), “his children obey him” (18:45), “hospitable” (20:20), and “managing the household well” (26:35). If you don’t handle your dough right, you’re disqualified for more Kingdom leadership… so let’s get this right!

Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel continue their series about spiritual leadership at home and how to interface with the local elder/fathers, thick community (12:20), iron sharpening iron (18:00), receiving at a church where you don’t feel to be in submission (43:30), and mutual submission with other believers (53:45). They also talk about naked old men in saunas (it’s not weird).
