Hey friends! We are thrilled to hear your feedback from last week’s episode, and how so many of you are thinking and feeling the same as we are regarding the need to take an objective look at the world around us. As we delve into our series on opting out of the ways of the world, we—like you—desire to re-examine our approach to things like marriage, raising kids, and finances in light of everything happening in the world around us. Of course, there’s no better foundation to start with than the Scriptures and how God envisioned the meaning and purpose for family from the very beginning. Genesis 1:27-28 serves as the origination point for how we can think about making changes in our family for the better, and how we can opt into what God has called us to. In this episode, we will share our thoughts as well as some rich insights from our friends Jeremy Pryor and Jeff Bethke from Family Teams. Be sure to check out their website, podcast, and resources for more content that has inspired this podcast tremendously!

Why is the word “submission” so taboo in today’s society? What does submission *actually* look like according to God’s word? Formerly known as Feminine Not Feminist on IG, today we hear from Anneliese as she recounts her struggles with submission early on in her marriage. From an unhealthy view of submission, to learning how to respect her husband, Anneliese shares how she relied on God’s word to shape her understanding of this biblical mandate. Whether single, engaged, or married, we truly believe all women can benefit from this encouraging and edifying conversation. Enjoy!

Who has the most influence over your children? Whose voice does your child value the most? As parents, we’d love to think it was us, but more often than not, it’s actually other children. Peer-centered settings in school, church, sports, and extracurriculars have created an environment where our kids are solely around children their age for the vast majority of their days. What’s the problem with this? Kids are unable to raise kids. Duetronomy 6 and numerous scriptures demonstrate that it’s the duty of parents and elders to properly raise their children— not the tv, not cellphones, and definitely not other kids. Join us as we share our strategies to combat this and what we’ve implemented along the way!

Stop Letting Other Kids Raise Your Kids

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.

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!
