Great conversation with good friend Jason Illian - he’s right in the thick of it with three great kids who are also great athletes. How do you prioritize eternal things over temporary, spiritual life over athletics - many parents are far more concerned with their child’s performance on the court and less concerned with their character. Can your kids love Jesus…and be great at sports? Listen as we wrestle with these concepts and navigate the “wide world of sports” from a Biblical perspective.

From efforts in Texas to redistrict to the latest Supreme Court cases related to gender issues and parental rights, listen as we talk about how Christians should not only think about these important issues, but also encourage believers to stand boldly for the truth in a culture that is buying and promoting lies counter to God’s design.

Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians that human beings are more than merely physical beings, rather we are body, soul, and spirit. Listen as we speak with Michael Perron, an expert in the physical fitness world for years, now share his thoughts and wisdom about how all three aspects of our life are interconnected and vital for human flourishing. While the world offers temporary shortcuts for improvements in some areas, Michael encourages the listener to dive deeper into their motives before making quick fix decisions that will ultimately cost more than they benefit.

Guest: Ricky Chelette, Executive Director for Living Hope Ministries

Ricky Chelette helps us understand how the “T” of LGBTQ has "changed everything." Sexual orientation used to be something you were “born with” and was unchangeable, but today both gender and sexuality are seen by many as being on a sliding scale and can be changed on a whim! From battles over men in women’s sports and locker rooms to accusations that institutions are prescribing hormone blockers to children as young as 8 years old, transgender ideology has taken our current cultural chaos by storm and Christian parents need to understand how to engage in a meaningful and biblical way! Ricky also helped launch The Institute for Biblical Sexuality, whose mission is to train the church and future generations about God's remarkable design for gender and sexuality.

We had the opportunity to speak with several students and adults at the 2025 Biblical Worldview Conference and heard their perspective on why “worldview” is crucial and how to develop a Biblical worldview. If you were unable to attend the conference or want to watch every session of the entire conference, all 30 sessions are available for purchase at PrestonwoodWorldview.org, including additional content with each speaker that was not available at the conference itself.

When we recorded this episode, it was scheduled to be released as the 200th episode for The Journey Parent Podcast! Thank you to all who have listened, watched, and supported our podcast. Now would be a great time to share The Journey with a friend as well as to like and subscribe, if you haven't already!

Always a pleasure to sit down and catch up with Dr. Jeremiah Johnston. He has been very busy recently talking about the newly discovered evidence relating to the Shroud of Turin - and this evidence has convinced Dr. Johnston that this was, indeed, the burial covering of Jesus Christ! The Lord has opened up numerous interesting opportunities for Dr. Johnston to talk about the Shroud, and also to share about the resurrection of Jesus, and the historical facts that demonstrate that Jesus existed, lived, died…and was raised to life again!

Dr. Johnston is also getting ready to host PCA’s annual Biblical Worldview Conference Sept. 28-30. Schools from out of state and individuals by the thousands will be joining our PCA students for this incredible worldview conference - parents, you should make plans to attend now as well - you don’t want to miss any of these incredible speakers and the topics they’ll be addressing!
