Church attendance has become optional in many Christian homes—but what if we’re missing something far deeper than a Sunday service?

In this conversation, Leslie Nunnery is joined by Angie Tolpin of Courageous Parenting to discuss why gathering with the local church remains one of the most important ways we disciple our children.

Together they explore:

If your desire is to raise children who love Jesus and remain faithful long after they leave your home, this conversation will encourage you to think intentionally about one of the most foundational rhythms of Christian family life.

Leslie and Angie discuss why faithfully participating in a local church is one of the most powerful ways parents disciple their children. Rather than viewing church as another activity on the calendar, they encourage families to embrace it as God’s design for spiritual growth, accountability, and biblical community.

The conversation includes practical ideas for making Sunday mornings less stressful, preparing your family’s hearts before worship, helping children understand why church matters, and modeling a faith that lasts beyond childhood.

When I mention Shakespeare, a lot of people immediately conjure up visions of high school English class, struggling through Julius Caesar line by line.

Which is an absolute shame, because Shakespeare’s plays are meant to be experienced–performed, seen, heard, felt. 

And experiencing Shakespeare with your kids is truly one of the most joyful things you can do together.

Today, I’m returning to my conversation with one of my favorite Shakespeare lovers, Ken Ludwig.

Ken is the author of How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare and one of our most celebrated, widely-performed playwrights. His plays are performed every single night of the year, and his enthusiasm for Shakespeare is utterly contagious and in this episode, we not only nerd out about our favorite plays, but share how to make teaching Shakespeare a true delight for you and your children.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• Easy tips for breaking down passages for young kids to make them fun and memorable
• Why Shakespeare is the best way to introduce children to complex, inventive, and beautiful language  
• How Shakespeare’s work informs all of the English literature (and plays and TV and movies!) that followed it
