Practically speaking, what does preparing for marriage look like? How can we use our singleness to set ourselves up for success in marriage? In this week’s episode we bring back our good friend, Alia Jones, to share her journey to contentment in singleness while still contending for her future marriage. For many, our 20s can feel like an awkward space between grieving where we once were, while longing to be where we desire next. Alia shares her struggles with life-altering transitions and how she still honors God and her parents in the process.

Don’t Waste Your Waiting - Singleness with Alia Jones

How can we expect our children to have a biblical worldview and know their identity according to God's word when they're so influenced by the world? Why is it so weird that parents want to actually have a say in the education of their children? Christian parents are often told we're "indoctrinating" our kids, yet as we continue our "world vs. word" series, in this epsiode we explore the idea that it's *all* indoctrination. Public school, home school, higher education, etc. all have an agenda and an end goal in mind. For us, our goal is simple- to follow the example given in the Scriptures and teach our children the word of God.We created an app!

Your Child's Behavior Isn't The Problem with Ginger Hubbard

Continuing our World vs. Word series, today’s “hot take” is God’s original design for raising children. When we look at the Scriptures we see how much emphasis God places on family, yet when we look at our society today we see more and more people choosing to delay starting their families or even opting to not have children at all. Our hearts behind today’s episode is to get back to the significance of why strong families are still important and desperately needed. Our children need Biblically sound parenting, but more importantly they need Jesus.

Dear Parents, the World is Lying to You.
