You can thrive in every season, regardless of life circumstances, but to truly thrive we must pursue and choose to grow. Maybe you feel stuck, too busy, or maybe you believe “this is as good as it gets.” We must keep our eyes on what is eternal and when we do, there is always room to grow! Our capacity grows as we lean into the hard times in this life with a teachable heart, ready and willing to make change, but also when we walk in humility in biblical friendships that seek to encourage us and spur us on to good works as well as exhort one another to change and live better. Join Angie as she digs into the Word of God, warning us to watch out for the trap of limited introspection and the freedom that begins with biblical self-examination and points us to the freedom we have in Christ. Let’s be the light in this world by truly thriving even in the midst of a fallen world… you never know who will ask you where you find the hope you have.

Are believers growing more divisive with each other following the pattern of the world? Family size is one of many hot points right now, and it shouldn’t cause disunity. While the Tolpin’s have never been part of the Quiver full movement, they do have nine children. In this episode, they lay out what they see in the Bible regarding having children and how they have lived out their convictions. Get ready to be encouraged, maybe challenged, and a few warnings too as they make a call for unity.

The Amazon docu-series “Shiny Happy People” brings up some important conversations relevant to Christianity today. In this podcast episode, Isaac and Angie discuss concerns regarding the Patriarchy and Quiverfull movements which do need to be talked about. We want to stay on the biblical road and not fall into the ditches of legalism or on the opposite side, moral relativism. It takes continually drawing close to the Lord, reading His Word, and discerning what’s true, and what is going to be fruitful for your family. As always, the Tolpin’s aren’t afraid to discuss the hard topics and give their best to help the Body of Christ.

Disagreements in your marriage can be healthy as they cause incremental recalibrations along the way versus big blow-ups down the road.
