For those who see how many kids grow up in the church and then flee the first chance they get in adulthood - that is a complicated issue with layers of answers - but one of the primary concerns should be the modern church's absolute neglect in equipping parents to disciple their own children.

It wasn’t until the latter half of the twentieth century that Christian parents began wholly relegating the discipleship of their children to the Church. This shift in church practice coincides (not so coincidentally) with a huge shift in mandated government education and welfare. Instead of equipping parents for their God-given duties, the Church, just like the State, co-opted a role that was not given to them by God. And in like fashion, parents became accustomed to others caring for their child’s souls and forgot their God-given purpose.

This is a hard conversation, but it is an important conversation. We hope you will join us, and let us know about your experience! The Bible is our authority for all faith and practice. We need to get back to what the Bible has to say concerning role of the Church and the role of parents. We should never settle for what is culturally acceptable or convenient.

Many Christians do not feel at home in their current church. They may feel like outsiders because they do not align theologically with that church, or maybe they haven't found community there. These Christians might see an issue with their current church's government structures or teaching.

In this episode of the Reformed Faith and Family Podcast, Caleb and Lindsey are going to be discussing what makes a church a church, as well as those questions one needs to ask in order to consider whether or not he should leave a church to find a new one or stay and commit to his current church. There are many reasons someone might want to reconsider the church that they are attending, but church membership is a serious commitment and should never be taken lightly. If you have been considering finding a more solid church, this episode is for you.

This episode is Part III of a multi-part series answering the question, "What does it mean to be Reformed?" We get asked this question often since Caleb is the pastor of a Reformed Baptist Church. Our go-to answer is that being Reformed means that we are "Calvinistic, Covenantal, and Confessional." We utilize these "3-C's" to help us explain the Gospel from a Reformed Christian worldview. 

Reformed Christians have a rich heritage. In this episode, we will discuss the third of these "3-C's," which is Confessionalism, or what it means to hold to a Confession. Go back and listen to Part I on Calvinism or Part II on Covenant Theology.
