All from a Biblical worldview. They employ experiential learning exercises from a Biblical worldview that give families an experience that drives the learning deep and equips children to use these same exercises with their children and grandchildren resulting in a generational impact and lasting legacy. At the heart of the podcast is the transformative power of doing family by God’s original design. Randy and Lesli firmly believe that doing family God’s way builds not only individual lives but also the broader culture. They explore how the values, beliefs, and traditions passed down from generation to generation can profoundly impact society as a whole. Through thought-provoking discussions, they inspire listeners to intentionally build their families as God designed, empowering them to be agents of positive change in their communities and the world.
