In today's episode We're share a ton of things that we do for fun as a family but as we do, we talk about why planning is so helpful in creating a culture of having fun with our family, and we talk about how we plan for our fun and at the end of this episode....and we bring on an extra special guest at the end.
Somewhere along the way, we may have picked up the idea that to be a mature Christian means that we must be stoically serious all the time. Even if we don't believe that this is true, it might be the impression we give when we are discipling our kids if we forget to help them see that even our fun together is a part of our worship to God! Mature Christianity comes with a smile. As we've seen and will continue to see on today's podcast, the Bible teaches us that mature Christians enjoy life, t...
Having fun together is simply a blast - but another reason why we should diligently have some fun with our kids is so that we can teach them HOW to have fun. We all desire happiness, fun, enjoyment, and pleasure, and there are a LOT of good things that God has given to us to enjoy. But, because of sin, there are dangers and pitfalls to having fun. There is a way to enjoy the good gifts of God in a way that honors, glorifies, and pleases him and that same way actually maximizes our enjoy...
Is fun a "lesser" thing to pursue? Among Christians, sometimes it seems like this is true! But today on the podcast we're going consider a higher view of fun. And what higher thing is there to consider than God Himself. So we're going to talk about 3 ways we're like God when we're having fun. One of my favorite things to discover about God several years ago was that He is the happiest being in the universe. And if you stick with us throughout this episode I think you'll be convinced, as I am,...
How important is it to have fun together as a family? Maybe that's a question you're asking because sometimes having fun can seem frivolous and trivial. Surely we should be doing much more important things like reading the Word, praying, or worshipping God. And isn't having fun kinda dangerous? I mean, we need to be careful not to have too much fun, right? We don't want to idolize the things that bring us joy. These are good questions, but we believe that having fun is a crucial part of our f...
We are unlocking the podcast vault and letting you in on an exclusive podcast episode that has never before been released to the public! In March 2019, we recorded 10 podcast episodes, each featuring one of the songs from our "God of Generations" album, and we shared the inspiration, scripture, story, and process behind the song. In the coming weeks, we're going to be talking about one of our six pillars of family worship: Having Fun! To kick off this new series (and give us a little more tim...
Relationships require intentional time and energy. But, if we're honest, we struggle with this. Especially when it comes to long-term relationships. Relationships with God, our spouse, our kids - we can start to neglect the intentional energy needed to maintain healthy intimacy and closeness that we long for. In our final episode in this series on marriage, we're going to focus on 5 ways we can be intentional in our marriage. These are 5 small tips that can have a big payoff in our marriages.
Marriage is given to us so that we may enjoy it. God loves giving us good gifts. But He also gave us the gift of marriage for a greater purpose. Our non flashy marriages have the ability to change the world around us. There is something heroic about two people sacrificially loving each other to the end in a committed and exclusive relationship. How do our marriages change the world around us?
Though marriage is wonderful, it's also incredibly difficult - and it's often difficult in ways many of us didn't see coming. The difficulty comes with the fact that having a great marriage eventually requires adjustments and change in both of us. Today we are going to be talking about why the need for change that happens and why the change in us, though difficult, is actually a good thing.
Last week we saw in the Word the call to prioritize our marriage relationship above all others. This week we're going to consider why this beneficial. The truth is that there is a nefarious enemy to love, and that enemy is not hate. It's an enemy that can sneak up on any relationship, and it is typically the true failure behind every relational failure.
We all want to be known. We want meaningful relationships that run deep. We want people we are safe with, people we belong to. Our marriages are a gift from God that is meant to be the deepest, most meaningful relationship we have. Our marriages are meant to be the one place where we are safe to be the most vulnerable. A place where we are safe to be naked physically, emotionally, mentally. A place where the fullness of who we are, the beautiful, the ugly, and everything in-between is exposed...
Many couples spend time planning for the wedding, planning for kids, planning for all kinds of things, but rarely do we plan for how we are going to win in our marriages. The truth is for, struggles and conflicts are a part of marriage. In today's podcast we are going to talk about how planning for struggles and conflict can actually help us through the harder seasons.
All of us have hopes and expectations when we think about being married. To start this six week series on marriage, we're going to take some time to think deeply about our longings and desire for marriage. Is it good to want to be married? What are we hoping to get out of marriage? And how is God involved in our desires for marriage?
Isn't it fascinating that when we are hurt by someone our tendency isn't just to be skeptical of that person's love, but often we find ourselves skeptical of God's love. No one is going to be able to practice perfect love every moment of every day. Even still, we should take seriously the fact that, as Christ-followers, we are representatives of who God is. We are meant to be ambassadors and image-bearers. This is true as we live our lives out in the public square, but even more true in our h...
We live in a culture that believes that loving another person is something that comes to us naturally. And yet all around us, we see that truly loving one another, especially the closest people around us is incredibly difficult. If we want to be intentional about loving one another well in our families, what are some key steps we should take? That's what we're talking about today on the podcast.
Last week we started our deep dive into the pillar of family worship that we call: Loving Each Other Well. Our love for one another is linked to our ability to worship God - especially our ability to worship God together. This week we are looking at 5 key things to consider that can help us continue to grow in love for one another.
If we want to worship God as families we have to be intentional about loving each other. In today's podcast, we're going to look at four reasons why loving each other is essential to worshipping God together.
In this episode, we talk about the writing and recording of our song "The Lord's Prayer." We're so thankful that Jesus gave us the templated prayer to help us in our praying! He knows that we struggle with prayer and that we need help. On the podcast, we'll talk about how you can use this song to help your family learn and pray through the Lord's Prayer
If you're like us, then you need help praying. Even when I give my best to prayer, I often find that my words feel weak, powerless, and just not fully expressing what my heart is wanting to say. As Donald Whitney says, I find myself "praying the same old things about the same old things." Today we're going to talk about our journey of learning how to pray the Word and why it's been so powerfully effective in our lives.
What should we pray for our kids? If you're anything like me, you toggle back and forth between feeling overwhelmed about how much there is to pray for and then drawing a blank on what to pray. In this episode, we're going to take a look at Paul's prayers in Ephesians and how they can help us pray the most important things for our children.
