  • Parenting Lessons From Deuteronomy 6 (Part 4)

    Brian & Taylor share the fourth and final lesson that every parent needs to know from Deuteronomy 6. Recap:

    1. Love God with every fiber of your being (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
  • Teach them every chance you get (Deuteronomy 6:6-9).
  • Be aware of false gods (Deuteronomy 6:13-14).
  • Prepare to answer (Deuteronomy 6:20-25).

  • Parenting Lessons from Deuteronomy 6 (part 2)

    The 2nd big parenting lesson is: "Teach them every chance you get"  (see Deuteronomy 6:6-9).

    God answers our question before it can escape our lips: “When am I supposed to teach my kids about you?”

    Parents have more time and influence with their kids than any other person or organization. It’s not even close. If you think, “I just don’t have any time. I’m maxed out,” priority #1 in your life is to figure out the quickest, wisest plan to free up some time. Your kids need you, and they need you to teach them with your words and actions.

  • Thinking Biblically About Afghan Refugees

    Oklahoma is welcoming the third highest number of Afghan refugees. There are plenty of voices saying plenty of things, but we're asking: "What does it mean to think Biblically about this?" In this episode, we'll teach a few principles that are central to the Bible and central to this topic. We'll also share why you need to quit listening to voices that are shouting instructions antithetical to the cause of Jesus.

  • Adele And The Search For Happiness

    Mars Hill Church was skyrocketing in membership, budgets, and global impact, but their dynamic leader was destroying lives in the process. We diagnose the tragic fall of an influential church and their leader-turned-authoritarian, Mark Driscoll. But more importantly, we learn how every leader, eldership, and church member have responsibilities in guiding their church towards God-honoring health.
