Some say money doesn’t make the man, and that money isn’t a measure of spiritual success. Others say health & wealth is THE measure of a person’s spiritual favor with God. So who’s right? And, what can we control, anyway? Lastly - does it matter as far as Christ is concerned? You may be surprised…
NEWS FLASH - the world is STILL going insane. What’s a Christian to do? How about controlling the things that God gave us to control. In this episode we dive deeper into Time. We try to avoid the cliches, (although I think we may have stumbled on one or two). The bottom line is found in Ephesians 5:16. What does it mean to redeem something, how do you know what your time’s worth and how to allocate? Let’s dive in!
We live in a world turned upside down, and you don’t need (or want) to hear it from us! But… what DO you do about it anyway? Uncle Philmore calls into the show with an epic rant, Jason drops some Christian rap music from the 80’s and most importantly, we offer legitimate reasons to and tactics for overcoming the burden of the craziness around us. Hint - it’s about time!
As our children start to notice the opposite sex, let’s face it… it can be SCARY. So, what’s a parent to do? We look at Biblical principles (spoiler alert - the Bible leaves some room here) and what those conversations should sound like and why.
Dads - take note! We think we have the “L” thing down with our kids. And as a result they’ll “L” God too. Right? Let’s back up a bit and take a look (and maybe a hard swallow) at what we are or can do to better train our kids in “L”oving God. We call it “Affection”.
“Abba”. Daddy. Pop Pops. Terms of endearment. All heart warming to the one they’re aimed at.
Romans 8:15, 1 John 4:19, Mark 14:36, Gal 4:6
The ultimate goal as parents is to help our children gain trust in the right person: Jesus. In the process though, they’re watching US. How do we build a relationship with our kids that helps them learn to trust in the right people? AND what if we blew it… and now we’re trying to regain that trust? What now? Hebrews 2:11-13, Matt 21:21, Matt 14:22-33
How do you know if you have a good relationship with your kids? When it’s tested. The importance of open, trusting relationships with our children, grown or not cannot be overstated. Putting principles from God’s relationship with us is a useful guide - even down to the detail. And if you’re relationship with your children isn’t stellar, we have some ideas for you as well. Are you a grown child or teenager? Fear not! This episode has something in it for you too. Uncle Philmore makes sure of that.
Responsibility. If we’re going to do right by our children, we need to train them to be responsible. Easier said than done! What are some pitfalls we find ourselves falling into as parents, what are some principles to help avoid them? A little bit-o-been-there-done-that and a lot of looking at how Christ does it with us… His disciples. Mark 25:14 | Mark 9:28-29
Disclaimer: We’re not experts. However, when did that stop us from tackling a subject? When it comes to growing as Christians, the family is often the incubator for that growth. As far as raising respectful children are concerned, there are some principles that parents need to respect as well. If you don’t have kids, this is for you as well as we attempt to break down the topic in a way that has application for everyone. And Uncle Philmore makes an appearance too.
The Family. If there is an ideal incubator for learning valuable lessons and gaining many of the character traits necessary for productive Christianity, it might well be our families. In this series we tackle various character traits that mark Christians, in relation to how those might be best imparted to our kids. Also, we get a little vulnerable in these episodes, revealing shortcomings and lessons learned along the way, even as we are still learning. If you have kids, you just might benefit from the open, frank discussion. If you don’t, the principles still apply, as we aim to make this worth your time as a growing Christian too. After all, we ARE family in Christ.
