Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 8 of the Biltmore Church Podcast!

This week we’re talking about one of the hardest — and most freeing — parts of family life: forgiveness. 

Building from Genesis 50 and the story of Joseph, we explore what it looks like to take out the “trash” of bitterness before it infects our homes. What is forgiveness really? What is it not? How do you forgive when the wound is deep? And what happens if you don’t? 

Whether your hurt is recent or decades old, this conversation will help you move toward freedom.

Genesis 50:15-2115 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.” 16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died: 17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.Fight For Your Family ResourcesKingdom Man – Tony EvansStand Firm and Act Like Men – Joby MartinAct Like Men – James MacDonaldEphesians 5 Sermon – Kyle MercerWhat a Way to Live – Tony EvansLoveology – John Mark ComerProverbs 31 Sermon – Joby MartinSeven Words to Change Your Family – James MacDonaldBeautiful Resistance – Jon TysonAncient Wisdom – James MacDonaldGod’s Wisdom for Navigating Life – Tim KellerMatthew 6 Sermon – Josh Howerton

Welcome to Episode 4 of Season 8 of the Biltmore Church Podcast!

This week we’re talking about one of the most practical — and personal — topics in family life: money. Building off Pastor Bruce’s message from Proverbs, we discuss why finances create so much tension in families, how money competes for our hearts, and what it actually looks like to handle it wisely.

We talk about spending, saving, generosity, debt, budgets, and how the gospel shapes all of it. Whether you’re newly married, deep into parenting, or just trying to make wise decisions, this conversation will help you fight for your family with wisdom.

Proverbs 18:11

A rich man's wealth is his strong city,
    and like a high wall in his imagination.

Proverbs 11:28

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
    but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.

Matthew 6:24

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 8 of the Biltmore Church Podcast! Today we’re continuing our Fight For Your Family series with a conversation about honoring your parents, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating complex family dynamics with grace. Pastor Bruce Frank joins us to talk through what it really means to “leave and cleave” while still honoring the people who raised you. We also dig into how to handle things like in-laws, holidays, and generational cycles from a gospel-centered perspective.

Ephesians 6:1-3

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”

In this episode of the Biltmore Church Podcast with Bruce Frank, we’re continuing our theme of Fight for Your Family by looking at biblical womanhood. Pastor Bruce Frank joins the conversation as we explore Proverbs 31—not as a checklist, but a picture of strength, purpose, and godly character. Whether you’re a woman trying to grow in your faith, or someone who wants to better support and honor the women in your life, this episode is for you!

Proverbs 5-7

Proverbs 31:10-3110 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.17 She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.22 She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.23 Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:29 “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.Fight For Your Family ResourcesKingdom Man – Tony EvansStand Firm and Act Like Men – Joby MartinAct Like Men – James MacDonaldEphesians 5 Sermon – Kyle Mercer
