***This episode briefly mentions some delicate topics. You may not want to have younger children listen with you. This is a hot topic in Christian circles, in culture, and in the news, but what does God actually say about what it means to be a man or a woman? And even when we understand it... how do we talk to our kids about it?!? Does the church need to adjust to meet different genders? How do we talk to our children about pornography and intimacy? Bryan and Krista of So That We, a biblical counseling practice, bring clarity to this truly important topic. Christian parents will receive practical wisdom for themselves, their marriages, their parenting, and for their witness to the watching world. Be sure to listen to part 1 of this conversation!Anxiety Demystified: A Biblical E-CourseEntrusted with a Child's Heart Videos for Couples
This is a hot topic in Christian circles, in culture, and in the news, but what does God actually say about what it means to be a man or a woman? Do we have to fit into a mold of Christian culture or is there flexibility for different personalities? What does it even mean to be made "in the image of God" and to be made "male and female". Bryan and Krista of So That We, a biblical counseling practice, bring clarity to this truly important topic. Christian parents will receive practical wisdom for themselves, their marriages, their parenting, and for their witness to the watching world.Scriptures Referenced: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5Genesis 1:27Genesis 2:18, 24Ephesians 5Titus 2Proverbs 31Matthew 22:36-40Galatians 5:19Books Recommended by Bryan (Full disclosure: Entrusted staff has not read these resources yet, but we want to offer the links since Bryan mentioned them. :) ):The Journey to Biblical MasculinityDialed InThe Measure of a Man

Daniel and Lacy Tolar continue to open the eyes of Christian parents as they tell us how to have our eyes open and what to do to help those trapped in human trafficking. We believe an "Again" we are called to as biblical mothers is to protect our children from harmful influences and to have them join us in serving others. There are ways for every family to come alongside the Tolars and their entirely worthy work. Ending human trafficking is about rescue, restoration, and prevention. We pray Christian parents find direction and discernment to lead in righteousness. Be empowered and equipped to prevent your children from becoming victims and know how to rescue those already enslaved. May future generations know we did all we could. Rescue 1 Global
Daniel and Lacy Tolar continue to open the eyes of Christian parents as they unveil the horrific realities of the human and sex trafficking industries. They challenge our perception of safety, but they also describe how we can train and equip our children to be discerning and to flee from compromising, dangerous pitfalls. We believe an "Again" we are called to as biblical mothers is to protect our children from harmful influences. We may not have complete control, but we are called to be vigilant. Moms may be shocked by the answer Daniel and Lacy provide, but it is one worth taking to heart. Ending human trafficking is about rescue, restoration, and prevention. We pray Christian parents find direction and discernment to lead in righteousness. Be empowered and equipped to prevent your children from becoming victims. Rescue 1 Global
Christian parents wanting to be the hands and feet of Jesus will find such hope and direction in this powerful interview with Daniel and Lacy Tolar of Rescue 1 Global. These stories are truly difficult to hear, but the church is needed to "be who she was called to be". Biblical motherhood requires that we honor the "least of these" and have eyes to see those in need. It is our prayer that listeners come alongside to support Rescue 1's efforts in prayer and in deed, and that we all gain eyes to see how we can serve in this area. In the future episodes, parents will also gain valuable insight in ways to prevent their own children from becoming victims. Listen. Break for them. Then move as God leads. Let's look back and be able to say we were a part of stopping slavery, not standing by while evil was rampant.Rescue 1 GlobalVerses Referenced:Acts 1:8Matthew 10:33
