From The Mount

What if the most important thing we can teach our kids isn't simply what to think, but how to think?

In this episode of From the Mount, Steve Kyle sits down with Billy Hutchinson, Director of Colson Educators at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, for an important conversation about Biblical Worldview Immersion and why it matters more than ever.

Billy and Steve talk about the many truth claims competing for the hearts and minds of our students—from social media and technology to identity, morality, relationships, and the culture around them. They explore why worldview formation begins earlier than many parents realize, why neutrality in education is impossible, and how Christian education can help students develop the critical thinking and discernment they need to evaluate ideas through the lens of Scripture.

Most importantly, this conversation offers encouragement for parents who sometimes feel overwhelmed by the pace of cultural change. The goal isn't to isolate our children from culture, but to prepare them to engage culture faithfully - with wisdom, conviction, courage, and truth.

It's a conversation about parenting, education, discipleship, and the shared responsibility of home, church, and school to help the next generation live out a Biblical worldview.

Culture is loud. Our kids are listening—and so are we. In this final episode of the TABOO series, Steve Kyle sits down with New York Times best-selling author Mo Isom Aiken for an honest, practical, and encouraging conversation about helping our children navigate competing messages about identity, truth, technology, relationships, and faith. How do we raise students who don't fear culture, but engage it with wisdom, courage, compassion, and biblical truth? This conversation offers parents encouragement and practical ways to make discipleship a daily part of family life.

In this episode of From The Mount, we continue our Taboo Series. Social media is shaping far more than trends and entertainment it is shaping identity, confidence, relationships, and even truth itself. In this episode, Steve Kyle tackles one of the biggest influences in the lives of students today: social media and the search for approval. Joined by special guest Mo Isom Aiken, the conversation explores how platforms designed for connection are often creating comparison, anxiety, distraction, and unhealthy identity formation in both teenagers and adults. This episode offers practical wisdom for parents navigating phones, screen time, online influence, and difficult conversations at home while also reminding families that true identity can never be found in a platform, but only in Christ.

In this episode of From The Mount, we continue our Taboo Series with a conversation on gambling. Sports betting apps, online gambling, fantasy sports, gaming culture, and the constant pursuit of "more" have made gambling one of the fastest-growing temptations facing students and families today. Steve Kyle and special guest Mo Isom Aiken discuss the hidden dangers of gambling culture and why this conversation can no longer be ignored by Christian parents. The conversation explores how gambling connects to deeper heart issues like greed, risk, identity, instant gratification, and misplaced hope. Steve and Mo also discuss how sports culture, competition, and the desire for success can subtly shape the hearts of students in unhealthy ways. This episode provides parents with practical insight, warning signs to watch for, and Biblical encouragement for helping students build wisdom, self-control, and contentment in a culture constantly promising quick rewards and easy success.

In this episode of From The Mount, we continue our Taboo Series with a conversation many parents want to have—but often don't know how to begin. Joined by special guest Mo Isom Aiken, we discuss teen dating, emotional boundaries, and what it looks like to help students pursue healthy, Christ-centered relationships in today's culture. This episode goes beyond simply talking about physical boundaries and addresses the importance of emotional health, wisdom, identity, and discernment in dating relationships. We share practical encouragement for parents navigating conversations with elementary, middle school, and high school students, offering helpful strategies for creating open dialogue without shame, fear, or overreaction. We also discuss warning signs of unhealthy relationships, how to teach emotional boundaries biblically, and why helping students build their identity in Christ matters more than simply managing behavior.

In this episode of From The Mount, and our third episode of our Taboo series, we dive into one of the biggest questions students and adults alike wrestle with: Who am I really? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, we sit down with Mo Isom Aiken to talk about identity, comparison, performance, and the freedom that comes from finding our worth in Christ rather than in achievements, appearance, relationships, or social media. Together, we discuss the pressures students face today, the dangers of building identity on unstable foundations, and what Scripture says about being fully known and fully loved by God. We share practical information on how to have an honest conversation with our kids at every age level.

In this episode of From The Mount, and our second episode of our Taboo series, we tackle one of the most important—and often most difficult—conversations facing families today: sex, pornography, and purity in a digital world. Joined by special guest Mo Isom Aiken, we discuss the realities students are facing, why these conversations matter more than ever, and how parents can respond with both truth and grace. Together, we explore God's design for sexuality, the impact pornography can have on identity and relationships, and how families can create safe spaces for honesty, healing, and discipleship. This episode is not about fear or shame—it's about pointing students toward freedom, redemption, and heart transformation through Christ. Whether you are parenting elementary students, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this conversation will equip and encourage you with practical ways to lead intentional, ongoing conversations in your home.

In this episode of From the Mount, we sit down with Mo Isom Aiken and MPCS Athletic Director Mike Walker for a meaningful conversation about the powerful connection between athletics and the home.
