This week I discuss the necessity of reading the bible correctly, in order to rightly raise boys to become men. Too many of the worlds experts on this topic are creating false narratives that are biblically backwards. Boys must be taught to trust God's promises and gifts to become the man God built them to be.
Schools are placing tremendous efforts on test scores parents can get too caught up on scores and miss opportunities in the formation of faith. The Christian family has an opportunity when children struggle with a subject to build their faith with divine confidence.
In Psalm 8 King David informs us that God has ordained the mouths of babes, and children with strength and power, in order to silence the enemies and avengers of our faith. It is an incredible statement. Yet when look at the best selling books on parenting kids, we see pragmatic advise on succeeding in world, how to advice on fixing flaws, and admiration of pagan cultures. King David connects the power in our kids to the creation ...
The recent sports story surrounding Arch Manning reveals our society'd desire for shortcuts, and denial that Arch like most QB's needs playing time.
Our kids and we as parents have the same issue as the media had in this story. We want short cuts, we want the fun and we hate the grind of making kids practice the basics. We deny Thomas Aquinas ontological reality that God made us, God gave us our domains, and we learn over...
Teddy Roosevelt preached the doctrine of the strenuous life as the way to win the ultimate triumphs in life. We need stories and balance to help our kids see the value as we raise them. In a world of over affirmation and helicopter parents and institution that remove every difficulty, our kids ability to strive is out of balance.
How kids can learn what the stories of the Bible mean is helped by what Luther called the rules of faith. When we use the Ten Commandments, The Lords Prayer and the Apostles Creed, we have the frame work to understand the stories and statements of the Bible.
The hardest thing to teach a child is contentment. We don't want to kill their curiosity, but a failure to learn contentment is destructive. We are living in a world that tries to lure our discontentment into dissent, and if left unchecked it destroys us. Today we discuss the issue of contentment and peace and the how understanding Jesus, and ourself is required to building a heart of gratitude.
The story of Peter's two fishing stories takes him from declaring himself unclean to be with Jesus, to being able to love the Son of God. This recap of this years VBS with my granddaughter Schaefer helps demonstrate God's stories help them understand the greatest truths in the world.
This week I want to look at the power of story and why this podcast is changing the focus and title in the weeks to come.
I want to clear up by example and scripture as to how trusting God to do the unseen work in the heart is the path the less guilt and anxiety in parenting.
The culture and the world has taught parents to believe in the axioms of sports, academics and the arts as the path of parenting. Set goals, build processes, reach outcomes. Our over emphasis on reason and the rational capacity of our kids is what is driving your mom guilt and fatherly frustration. This episode I try to explain why we do it, and how trusting the unseen works of God as the cure.
The Netflix series Adolescence is a terrifying new series about a thirteen year old boy who murders a girl in his school. It happens over digital bullying and the manosphere. The show is the third most downloaded in Netflix history and is not recommended teaching by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Children's stories can help our kids grasp the truth of the gospel.
Artificial intelligence has infiltrated American education. Knowing what is a valid use and when it robs your children of learning requires a biblical world view and a commitment to being a literary family.
The conversation in Christianity with our kids about romance is limited to rules on sex, and not much about what real love is and how we know it. This week we look to Shakespeare and Drake to learn about love.
We need a serious look at what drugs and addiction to create a resistance and resilience plan for our kids.
John Trumby "The Anatomy of Genres" is a book that help us understand the human condition regarding the fear of death, as he lays out the building blocks for horror films. For the Christian family it serves as a reminder that teaching children about sin, death, hell and heaven are questions the soul demands to be answered.
Flag Football has over 7 million kids playing between 6-12. It is a super fast growing sport. I believe one reason it is promoted and funded is to insure the future of football fans in America. It reminds us that what we learn as kids sticks with us as adults and why Christian education of young kids is critical.
Christian children have access to the knowledge for dealing with bullies long before it reaches critical significance. Let the Bible provide understanding to deal with conflict, as a preemptive means to bully-proof your kids.
Christianity in many ways, offers us a wisdom to kind of control the chaos, the clutter of family business. It gives us a glue that kind of holds things together.
The Christian family because of this should shoot for being a visionary family.

Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
