If you are going to be a good parent you need to have a biblical understanding of what children are like. This is more difficult than it sounds because we live in a world that is selling us a lot of propaganda about people. But, it's essential. In this episode, Andre and I go back to the basics and think about the difference believing what the Bible teaches us about our children should make on the way we parent them.
God has a very simple rule for your children: obey your parents in the Lord. But that simple rule can be so difficult and unfortunately, sometimes as parents we make it even more difficult for our children by the way we parent. Andre and I talk about some of the ways we do that and how to make obedience easier for your children.
Andre and I take some time to talk about how fathers can work on developing healthy, encouraging, relationships with their children. Many dads say they want to! Few dads do. What can you do to be different? Listen in.
Should we as fathers work at helping our children have a higher self-esteem? What does that even mean? If not, why not? (Sorry about the phone ringing right in the middle of this episode! But still I think the discussion is important enough to overlook that twenty second embarrassment.)
Joshua is flying solo today talking about being a peacemaker as father. Specifically, he helps us think through some of the difference between a difference and a conflict and some of the various factors that can easily turn a difference into a conflict.
We all want what's best for ourselves and for our children. The problem is we are often confused about what's best for ourselves and our children. Andre and I talk about the danger of being an earthly minded father and how to evaluate whether you are wanting good things in a bad way.
Today we talk a second time about the skill of listening well. In what ways do we need too help our children learn to listen and how can we do that?
In this episode, Andre and I talk about the importance of listening and simple steps fathers can take to help their children learn the invaluable, life changing skill of listening well.
In this episode, Andre and I begin talking about becoming a more patient father. This is difficult for us and yet such an incredibly significant issue!
Andre and I talk about authority in the home. We talk about the nature of biblical authority, abuses of authority, and ways Dads can serve their children by helping them understand how to submit to authority.
It's hard to have your sin exposed. It's also a powerful opportunity. What you do when you sin can either make the problems worse or lead to healing in your family. In this episode, Andre and I talk about confessing sin well.
In this episode, Andre and I talk about how to respond as fathers who sin and especially look at wrong ways we often respond to correction and why those poor responses are so dangerous.
Do you listen to your children? In this episode, I want to help you think about how important it is that you do and give some practical helps to becoming a better listener.
Communication is difficult! How can we speak to others in a way that builds them up? In this episode, Josh looks at the difference between healthy and sickening speech.
There's hardly any area we can work on in our lives as fathers more important than the way we communicate on an everyday basis with our families. Here's some help!
If you want anything for your children, you should want them to learn contentment. But, there are some serious obstacles to them learning this skill! Andre and I talk about how we can help our children learn to be content in a discontented world.
Joshua is by himself in this episode talking about talking. There's hardly anything more powerful than the way you communicate with your family on an everyday basis. Take a few minutes to evaluate your everyday speech in light of God's Word.
Andre and I talk about what it means to be thankful, why thanksgiving is important, why it is difficult, what it has to do with the gospel, and how to help our families grow in thankfulness.
In this episode, Andre and I talk about talk. Specifically, we look at the way Proverbs describes a bad communicator, give specific illustrations of how to speak in ways that do damage to your family, and then think through how to change the way you communicate as a father so that you can bring blessing to your family.
There's hardly any area in your home more important than how you communicate with one another. There's also hardly anything more difficult. In this episode Andre and I talk about talking.
