Creating a new stronger legacy through your family is a common desire amongst Christians but rarely done, why?, because it’s really hard to do what hasn’t been deeply clarified, especially amongst a marriage. Isaac and Angie are seeing the fruit of cultivating a new legacy over the last twenty-four years of marriage with nine children and in this Courageous Parenting podcast episode they give three steps on how to get to a clear picture together. A multi-generational faith-filled legacy doesn’t just happen and it takes going against the grain at times even in Christian circles.

No matter how wayward a child is, God can bring them back. Be encouraged by this incredible story of a once fifteen year old boy sharing about his girlfriend at the time having an abortion which drove the teenage couple deeper into drug use and despair. The dad shares this raw story dispelling the myth that there’s any situation where it’s good for the mom to kill her child as the drugs soon after killed her. The boy went from homeless shelter, to bible college to working for Samaritan Ministries and having a wonderful family. He also gives an inside view of Christian health sharing and the new program Samaritan Ministries just launched called Redeem Health Sharing which the Tolpins enthusiastically just signed up for and you’ve got to find out why. Be encouraged by this compelling testimony of the power of God.

Are you living in freedom to be authentically who God made you to be or do you put on masks when you leave the home or when you’re around certain people? You will become exhausted, insecure, and lonely if you project something different than who you are, but the real issue is that your children are watching. They will either adopt the masks you wear or call you a hypocrite in the teenage years and stop yearning for your wisdom. If what you are projecting to start a friendship isn’t authentically you, it will be hard to keep it. Isaac and Angie Tolpin dig into why we tend to wear masks at times and how to truly break free and live in freedom!
