On this episode of The Household Reformation Podcast, we're diving into one of the most practical yet overlooked skills every Christian family needs: Theological Triage.

Theology isn't a luxury reserved for scholars. It's the heartbeat of faithful parenting. But how do we discern between core doctrines that define Christianity, church-forming beliefs, and personal convictions? How do we teach our children to handle these differences with clarity and charity?

Inspired by Al Mohler's powerful metaphor of theological triage, as detailed in his article A Call for Theological Triage and Christian Maturity, and drawing from the wisdom of R.C. Sproul, this episode helps families:

* Distinguish between essential, secondary, and tertiary doctrines

* Understand the importance of unity, liberty, and charity

* Equip their households to stand boldly in essential truths while handling disagreements graciously

We'll cover:

* First-Level Doctrines: The non-negotiable truths of our faith

* Second-Level Doctrines: Important convictions shaping church life, which often divide denominations

* Third-Level Doctrines: Personal beliefs that members of the same denomination and even congregation may disagree on, but should never divide us

As parents, you're the primary theologians of your home. Join us on this episode to strengthen your family's ability to navigate doctrine wisely and lovingly.

Listen, grow, and disciple with discernment.

Not every season of marriage feels like a victory march. Some feel like crawling through fog.

In Part 2 of our marriage series, we step into the trenches—where the dishes pile up, the bank account dips low, the grief is quiet, and the kids won’t stop crying. This is where covenant gets tested, and where quiet faithfulness builds what grand gestures never could.

In this episode, we cover:

The Hard Years: What to do when intimacy fades and suffering hits

Quiet Faithfulness: Why the daily grind matters more than the highlight reel

A Charge to Men and Women: What it looks like to guard your post, even when you’re tired

We talk infertility, fatigue, repentance, headship, respect, and the glorious, ordinary obedience that builds households heaven sees—even if no one else does.

Husbands: You are the first to rise and the last to give up.

Wives: You are builders, not bystanders. Your household is your headquarters.

Don’t abandon your post!

Extra: Share your marriage story or questions in the comments—we’re planning a future Q&A episode on biblical marriage and want to hear from you.

In this two-part episode, we’re diving into what it really means to build a biblical marriage—one strong enough to withstand cultural collapse and fruitful enough to launch a legacy.

This isn’t a romanticized vision of marriage. It’s covenant. It’s mission. It’s the glory and grit of forming a household that reflects the gospel, raises arrows, and opens the front door in hospitality and strength.

🎧 Listen to Part 1 now and share it with a couple who needs to be reminded:Your household matters more than your honeymoon.

In Part 1, we cover:

✅ Marriage as Covenant, Not Contract

“Love follows obedience—not the other way around.”

✅ God’s Blueprint for Husbands and Wives

Shepherds and builders. Not CEOs and sidekicks.

✅ Fruitfulness in Mission, Children, and Hospitality

“Your marriage isn’t a cul-de-sac. It’s a launchpad.”

✅ How Ephesians 5 and Psalm 127 Reframe the Household

Christ and the Church. Arrows and legacy. A house on purpose.

🛠️ Action Step This Week:Pray with your spouse. Read Ephesians 5 or Malachi 2 together. Ask God to deepen your covenant and sharpen your mission.

The Household Reformation PodcastBold theology. Strong households. Everyday faithfulness.

Modern education pretends to be neutral. It’s not. Every classroom is a battleground of belief. In this episode of The Household Reformation Podcast, Bryan and Pastor Austin walk through the forgotten roots of Christian education— tracing the roots from Athens to Rome to Jerusalem. We talk about the trivium and the difference between a Classical Christian education and a non-classical, but distinctly Christian education. Tutor-households. Paideia. And why the kitchen table— not the state— is the true center of learning.

We also tackle the myth of neutrality, the role of fathers in discipleship, and how beauty, poetry, and biblical memory shape the soul. Whether you homeschool, private school, or something in between— this episode is a call to reclaim education as worship.

Highlights:

* Why your household is the first seminary

* The classical roots of Western Christian education

* The problem with outsourcing to Caesar

* How tutor-households form disciples, not just students

* Austin’s perspective as the head of a Christian school

* Recovering joy, beauty, and gospel-driven formation

This isn’t about test scores.It’s about souls.

Today we’re talking about something that gets dismissed as outdated by the world — and forgotten by most of the church. But it’s the driving force for why this podcast exists— household reformation.

Last week, our church held a conference on building a Christian counterculture, and one of the primary topics was: Household Reformation. So, what is it? Why does it matter? And, where do we begin to build?
