Is your parenting driven by a list of rules, or a life of discipleship? In this insightful episode of the Teach Them Diligently podcast, Leslie Nunnery sits down with Israel Wayne to pull back the curtain on what it truly means to raise children with a biblical worldview in a confusing culture.

They move past the surface-level “how-to” and dive into the heart of the home: the parent’s own walk with Christ. From guarding your family against false teachings to the power of modeling authentic faith (even in our failures), this conversation is a masterclass in Christ-centered parenting.

Why you must be a disciple first to effectively disciple your children.

Practical strategies for teaching deep biblical doctrine at home.

How to use everyday conversations to build a firm foundation of faith.
