Continuing our World vs. Word series, today’s “hot take” is God’s original design for raising children. When we look at the Scriptures we see how much emphasis God places on family, yet when we look at our society today we see more and more people choosing to delay starting their families or even opting to not have children at all. Our hearts behind today’s episode is to get back to the significance of why strong families are still important and desperately needed. Our children need Biblically sound parenting, but more importantly they need Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! We are thrilled to hear your feedback from last week’s episode, and how so many of you are thinking and feeling the same as we are regarding the need to take an objective look at the world around us. As we delve into our series on opting out of the ways of the world, we—like you—desire to re-examine our approach to things like marriage, raising kids, and finances in light of everything happening in the world around us. Of course, there’s no better foundation to start with than the Scriptures and how God envisioned the meaning and purpose for family from the very beginning. Genesis 1:27-28 serves as the origination point for how we can think about making changes in our family for the better, and how we can opt into what God has called us to. In this episode, we will share our thoughts as well as some rich insights from our friends Jeremy Pryor and Jeff Bethke from Family Teams. Be sure to check out their website, podcast, and resources for more content that has inspired this podcast tremendously!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! Have you felt that it is becoming increasingly difficult in our world today to raise children in the way of the Lord and seek to live out the Scriptures in a practical way? We shouldn’t be surprised by this, as we are told throughout the Bible that we are in a spiritual battle and that we who know Jesus are “in the world but no longer of the world.” Still it seems that we are highly under-resourced, or simply not even having the conversations we ought to be having about what we should do in light of this reality. Over the next few weeks, we are going to share some ideas regarding how we plan to implement a God-honoring approach to raising our kids in 2024 and beyond. We want to preface by saying that with this approach comes the likelihood of opting out of certain systems or ways of thinking that have become commonly accepted and considered standard—even for many Christians. We are simply opening the door for conversation and not shying away from asking questions like “why do we do things in *this* way?” or “Should we do something different instead?” If you’ve felt the same or are considering your own options, we welcome you to join us as we unpack this new mini series and we welcome your feedback and insight also!Thank you to Caden Lane for sponsoring this episode!

Hey friends! This week’s episode is probably going to be a spicy one, but necessary. We want to encourage our listeners who have children how important your role as a mother or a father are in your child’s life. Confusion around the specific roles and identity of mother and father in our world today has caused a ripple effect to our children. It’s our desire to revert to an ancient, Biblical model of raising children and have a discussion around just how vital fathers and mothers are. If you’ve ever felt inconsequential to your child in your role, think again! God has made you (and no one else) the mother or father of your children for a specific purpose. Please do not take that fact for granted. If you are not yet a mom or a dad, there are many ways you can spiritually father or mother others who are younger than you who desperately need your encouragement and fellowship. If you are a single mom or dad who is seeking to honor the Lord in the way you raise your children, please know the Lord has a very special place for you in His heart. Your ability to live in such a super-human way ought to be celebrated, never shamed! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and how the Lord has called you to care for your children either biological, adopted, fostered, or spiritual.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
