Practical Guidance: How to Raise Boys to Be Good Men and Girls to Be Good Women | Christian Parenting | Wade Thomas

How do you actually do it? In this practical session from our Saturday seminar on Christian parenting, Associate Pastor Wade Thomas of Christ the King Church (Fort Thomas, KY) delivers 21 concrete, actionable tactics for raising masculine sons and feminine daughters in the home.

Where Pastor Michael Clary laid the theological and cultural foundation — explaining what to do and why it matters — Wade Thomas gets into the trenches. This is the "how" session: real, specific parenting practices that shape your children's instincts, identities, and affections as boys and girls.

In this session you'll learn:

• How to identify and address the hidden sins and weaknesses that Satan exploits in your home
• Why homeschool families face unique social risks for both boys and girls — and how to account for them
• How to let your daughters experience the full beauty of femininity and domestic life without rushing them
• How to give your sons the freedom to take risks, fail, and grow into responsible men
• Why laughter builds more loyalty than lectures — and how to leverage it in your home
• How to use your family tree, reading lists, and daily rhythms to form your children's masculine and feminine identities
• Why your marriage — including how you delight in each other — is one of your most powerful parenting tools
• How to raise children who are Spirit-dependent, not merely method-dependent

Talk #1 from Feb 2026 Gendered Education Saturday Seminar

Raising Masculine Boys and Feminine Girls in a Secular Culture | Biblical Parenting | Michael Clary

How do Christian parents raise masculine sons and feminine daughters in a culture that is actively working to undermine biblical sexuality? In this session from our Saturday seminar on Christian parenting, Pastor D. Michael Clary of Christ the King Church (Fort Thomas, KY) makes the case that the real battle in parenting isn't about homeschooling vs. classical Christian school — it's about catechizing your child's heart.

Many conservative Christian families are doing everything right on the outside and still losing their kids to gender confusion and LGBTQ ideology. Why? Because the secular left has waged a sophisticated, decades-long propaganda war targeting the hearts and affections of children — and most Christian parents don't know how to fight it.

In this talk you'll learn:

• Why choosing the right schooling method isn't enough to protect your kids
• How LGBTQ activists have used psychology-based marketing to normalize sexual perversion since the 1980s
• Why biblical parenting must target your child's desires and affections, not just their intellect
• How to model masculine and feminine virtue in your marriage in a way that trains your children's instincts
• How to cultivate a righteous, Spirit-filled discernment in your kids that propaganda can't override
• What Romans 1 teaches us about how to think and speak honestly about homosexuality

This is the foundational session from our Christian parenting seminar on raising godly boys and girls. The follow-up practical session with Associate Pastor Wade Thomas is linked below.

Key Scriptures: Genesis 1 | Romans 1:18-32 | Ephesians 5 | Colossians 3 | 1 Peter 3 | Isaiah 5:20

Topics: biblical parenting, raising boys, raising girls, Christian masculinity, biblical womanhood, gender ideology, LGBTQ and Christianity, catechism, Reformed Baptist, homeschooling, classical Christian education, Christian marriage, complementarianism

In this third and final lecture, Derin Stidd delivers a masterclass on the nature and limits of the state. Tyranny thrives when Christians forget what God designed civil government to be—and what He did not.From Genesis 9 to Romans 13, Stidd unpacks the divine blueprint:1. Punish the wrongdoer.2. Protect the innocent.3. Promote what is good.That’s it. Every other function the modern state claims—education, welfare, money printing, endless wars—is outside its God-given jurisdiction. When the state tries to replace the family or the church, it becomes a Frankenstein monster devouring the very order it was meant to preserve.This is a clear, unapologetic call to reclaim biblical boundaries: the family as the seat of productivity, the church as the voice of truth, and the state as God’s deacon of justice.📖 Main Texts: Genesis 9:1–6, Romans 13:1–7, Isaiah 10:1–4, 1 Timothy 2:1–4#ObeyGodDefyTyrants #ChristianPolitics #CivilGovernment #BiblicalAuthority #ChristIsKing #ReformationNow

In this second lecture, Derin Stidd tackles one of the most misunderstood issues in the modern church: the limits of civil government. When should Christians submit, and when must they resist? What happens when rulers command what God forbids—or forbid what God commands?Stidd walks through Romans 13, Acts 5, and Deuteronomy 17, showing that true submission to authority always presupposes obedience to God first. Authority is legitimate only when it operates within the bounds of God’s law. When rulers defy those bounds, they forfeit their moral legitimacy.This lecture exposes the idolatry of statism and the cowardice of churches that bow to it. Stidd calls believers to rediscover the biblical principle of lesser magistrates, the duty of resistance under tyranny, and the courage to stand when obedience to man would mean disobedience to Christ.📖 Main Texts: Romans 13:1–7, Acts 5:29, Deuteronomy 17:14–20, Daniel 3#ObeyGodDefyTyrants #Romans13 #ChristianResistance #BiblicalAuthority #Theonomy #CivilDisobedience #Reformation #ChristIsKing

In this opening lecture, Derin Stidd lays the groundwork for a distinctly Christian view of politics — one that begins with the lordship of Jesus Christ over every earthly power. Rejecting the modern myth of political neutrality, Stidd argues that government is not morally autonomous but a servant of Christ, accountable to His Word and law.He exposes how secularism has replaced God’s authority with man’s will, producing a civil order that celebrates rebellion and punishes righteousness. True Christian politics, he contends, starts with Christ’s absolute kingship and the believer’s duty to obey God rather than men.With biblical precision and Reformed conviction, Stidd shows how Scripture defines authority, justice, and the limits of government—and how Christians must reclaim a theology robust enough to resist tyranny and rebuild culture on the foundation of God’s truth.📖 Main Texts: Psalm 2, Romans 13, Matthew 28:18–20, Colossians 1:15–20#ChristIsKing #ChristianPolitics #ObeyGodDefyTyrants #Romans13 #Theonomy #BiblicalAuthority #Reformation #ChristAboveCaesar

Michael Clary on Escaping 'Loser Theology' and Embracing Gospel Power

In this talk, Pastor Michael Clary of Christ the King Church addresses the concept of 'Loser Theology' and its detrimental effects on Christians' engagement in the public square. Clary emphasizes that Christians are being misled into abandoning public responsibilities under the guise of gospel issues. He cites current societal challenges, like a Colorado bill that threatens Christian beliefs about gender, as consequences of passive Christianity. Clary calls for a rediscovery of the full gospel, which asserts the supremacy of Christ in all areas of life. He encourages Christians to adopt a bold, action-oriented faith, leveraging their numbers and power to effect positive change while avoiding passivity and self-loathing disguised as humility.
