Gospel Shaped Home

When we try to control with a heavy hand and lead with a flimsy example, we’re in danger of exasperating our kids. Join us as special guest Leon Tucker discusses some ways we might err as parents, and offers encouragement on how to guard against these dangers. 

When we try to parent our kids without relational capital and healthy reserves of love, we’re likely to go astray. Join us as special guest Leon Tucker discusses a relational model of parenting.

Simple routines and small habits play an outsized role in the spiritual formation of our families. Discipleship happens in the context of relationship and relationships take time. And sometimes we have to establish habits that keep important things - like work or even parenting - from becoming ultimate things. Join us as we discuss work, marriage and family worship from Justin Whitmel Earley’s book, Habits of the Household.

Simple routines and small habits play an outsized role in the spiritual formation of our families. Seizing unplanned opportunities for spiritual formation is two-fold. It involves recognizing and limiting those influences that would conform us to the pattern of this world. And it also means pursuing those gracious influences that would lead to transformation into Christlikeness. Join us as we discuss screens, play, and conversation from Justin Whitmel Earley’s book, Habits of the Household.

Simple routines and small habits play an outsized role in the spiritual formation of our families. For moments of discipline to become fruitful opportunities for discipleship, we have to recognize (and interrupt!) our natural instincts with grace-empowered habits that remind us and our kids of God’s love in Christ. Join us as we discuss Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley. 

Simple routines and small habits play an outsized role in the spiritual formation of our families. Mealtimes are for communion, not just consumption. But family meals are bigger than our nuclear families too. They’re also an opportunity for us as a family to turn strangers into friends. Join us as we discuss Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley. 

Simple routines and small habits play an outsized role in the spiritual formation of our families. In this episode, we consider how mornings are for waking up to the reality of God’s love and evenings are for resting in His unchanging grace. Join us as we discuss Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley. 

While our marriages are shaped by how we respond to defining moments, in Christ, we are never imprisoned by our past failures and wasted moments. Wherever we are in marriage, God calls us to rest ultimately in the defining moment of Christ's death in our place, His victory over the grave, and His justifying verdict over our lives. Join us as we discuss the final chapter of Dave Harvey’s book, I Still Do.

How do we endure when life’s dilemmas remain unresolved? How do we persevere in loving our spouse when trials have no clear end in sight? We find peace, not in having all the answers, but in clinging to the unchanging goodness of God. Check out the most recent episode of the podcast as we discuss chapter 11 of Dave Harvey’s book, I Still Do. 

Our relationship with our kids changes over time, especially when they leave. It's never too early to think about how you can lift burdens from, not load burdens onto your adult children. This conversation is also helpful for younger couples still trying to figure out how to relate to their own parents. Join us as we discuss chapter 10 of Dave Harvey's book, I Still Do.
