    Navigating Peer & Family Influences Oct 29, 2024

    “How do I handle people influencing my children in the wrong ways?” This is one of the most asked questions we get. It’s part of why we believe it takes more courage to parent in these unprecedented times than the last few generations of parents. Get the four steps Isaac and Angie Tolpin lay out for doing this well.


    We want to evangelize, we want to be lights for Christ, and we want great relationships, but none of that should be at the cost of negatively impacting our children. The sad truth is too many Christian parents are sacrificing their children's long-term well being. While it’s not the intention, it’s a pervasive problem.


    Perhaps we’ve been taught to avoid conflict at all costs, perhaps we are more of a people pleaser than we should be. Instead we should value training up our children in the way they should go, we should value sharing truth in a loving way that sharpen others and deepens relationships.


    Perhaps in the moments that matter, it’s more self-preserving to not do anything when influences aren’t ideal, than trying to love others and your children well by sharing concerns. Avoidance of conflict to stay comfortable and preserve relationships is often the source of why this happens. This is an encouraging episode backed by the bible with practical insights to help you navigate these difficult waters as the world is increasingly swaying so many that are likely around your family.

    Win The Battle of Selfishness in Your Family Oct 22, 2024

    Do you want less selfishness in your family? Do you feel like its a constant battle you can’t win? Children need to be both taught the importance and the biblical call to be selfless, have examples of what that looks like, be held accountable and reminded of what God calls us to, but you know what is even more impactful for your children? Exercises the muscle of serving others, thinking of others more than themselves, literally doing and being the hands and feet of Jesus! It’s an incredible experience for every believer, regardless of your age or spiritual maturity and it’s when we walk in obedience to the Lord and serve others, our hearts change!


    Selfishness is the most common sin of all humanity; and the world, the enemy, and our flesh cries out to BE selfish, to be self-absorbed and think about ourselves first. We have to learn to “die to self” as Jesus said! And… so do our children.


    In today’s episode, Isaac and Angie share practical tips for cultivating a servant heart in your child as well as share some amazing experiences they have personally had in serving alongside their family as they plant a church. Serving together, as family, regardless of what, taking a meal to a new mama, mowing a lawn for a widow, cleaning the toilets at church, or leading a bible study, whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord… and teach your kids the same by living it out!

    Parenting Through the Election Chaos Ahead Oct 15, 2024

    Who’s going to win the presidential election? With three assassination attempts so far, mass illegal immigration and perhaps more devious moves ahead in an effort to move America away from its constitutional framework, we must be prepared for the possibility that the America we know could further erode to satisfy the global initiatives. So how do we parent through this? Who do our children see that our hope is in? What are sound actions steps to be taking now in our parenting?


    Isaac and Angie Tolpin answer these questions to help Christian parents be biblical strong examples in their actions; the balance between being activated citizens and standing for what’s right while also keeping our hope firmly in the Lord. Our children are watching and learning every day, so let’s do this well during these chaotic months ahead.

    The Desensitization of Evil– Hold the Line on Halloween Oct 08, 2024

    There is a constant concerted effort by the enemy to tempt and desensitize children to evil and sin. Yes, it is October which means that it is necessary for us to tackle, once again, the important issue of evil, specifically with regards to October 31st when most Christians actually celebrate the pagan holiday of Halloween.

    Join the Tolpins as they share some interesting facts and statistics regarding things such as the sheer amount of money spent on Halloween focused consumerism as well as the challenge parents have today to protect and preserve their children’s innocence to evil things. How does role-playing impact children in the future? What does God’s Word say about dabbling with darkness and what does the Church of Satan proclaim, practice, and delight in regarding families participating in Halloween festivities? All of this and more … join us for a fire conversation.

    Warning: Why Your Kids May Not Want to Have Kids Oct 01, 2024

    We believe the huge problem Christians are talking about in the next 5-6 years is that their children don’t want to have children. The Tolpins give a clear and sound warning for intentional christian parents on why this epidemic may be around the corner and all parents should be sober-minded about it. It’s more than the stronger influence of culture towards not having children; the biggest problem they discuss are the things Christian parents may be doing in their home that unknowingly become catalysts for their children not wanting to have children down the road.

    How To Pursue a Godly Marriage In a Fallen World Sep 24, 2024

    Here are some of the main points from this episode:

    No Marriage is Perfect!

    We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and one thing that hit us that oftentimes what people share is not the full truth or even fully close to the reality of the journey one has been on for ____ amount of years in their marriage!

    We don’t want you to ever get the wrong impression that we think we have the perfect marriage, or that we would even portray that! We do have a thriving marriage, and for that we thank the LORD because it’s what He has done in each of our hearts that has brought us to this place!

    But the reality is that relationships, particularly marriage, can be hard, people sin against and offend one another, get selfish, annoy each other at times, and so much more.

    The reality is that two sinful humans enter into holy matrimony, which means there is a huge opportunity for hurt, sinning against one another, being selfish, being “real” with one another which can often times equate to “not trying anymore.” BUT, on the bright side that means there is equally an opportunity for each individual in the marriage to grow in grace, forgive, grow in understanding, love, serve, be more selfless, and ask for forgiveness and walk in humility acknowledging when they sin!

    God deeply wants to do a powerful work in you and in your marriage. AND He has chosen marriage as the best avenue for refinement in all the godly character qualities He wants you to grow in!

    Isn’t that exciting?

    Planting a Church- Be Rooted in Biblical Community Sep 03, 2024

    Do you have strong biblical community? Do you know the people you go to church with? Do you or they notice when someone is not there and follow up? Is there authentic knowing of one another or do you only see each other on Sunday, maybe? You may think your church awesome! I hope you do! I hope this episode only spurs you on in more appreciate of what you already have! But when we ask people about what makes their church so special, the first thing most people will say, is the people. Is your church representative of the “Family of God” in your life? Have you ever even experienced it? What I am asking is not about how “good of a sermon” you heard on Sunday, although that is an essential element and one worthy of changing churches over. But anyone can listen to a great sermon now with everything online.

    The second greatest commandment Jesus left us with after “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. ” in Matthew 22:37-38 was v. 39, “And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

    Neighbor. Just think about that for a moment. Do you actually know your neighbors? People in your town? I am wondering if you have strong trusting relationships with others who live near you. People who will help when that time comes and who can trust you to help them. I hope you do! We know many amazing people in our community, but none of us fellowship together in Church!

    Isaac and Angie Tolpin talk about why they are planting a brick and mortar church in the center of their home town and some of the changes they are making to the modern church model to go beyond Sunday attendance to a culture of real connection. Get practical insights that are sure to make you reflect on church, community, and perhaps strengthen your intentionality with people locally.

    The True Dangers of Screen Time for Kids Jun 25, 2024

    Video games, social media, smart phones, and pornography are all issues the parents today must navigate with caution, wisdom, and foresight. This is potentially one of the most relevant topics facing parents today: how to parent in a technology world?

    Not only do we as parents need to make some parenting decisions regarding how to navigate this touchy subject, we also need to equip our children and teach them WHY! There are a lot of opinions out there regarding when or if you should give a teenager a smart phone with internet, but what does the science say?

Join Angie as she, Melanie and Evan Hempe from Screen Strong discuss the scientific evidence of effects on the brain and some suggestions on how to navigate the teen years.

    Today’s podcast episode is a lively, relevant, educational, and fun conversation between a Mom and her son and host Angie Tolpin. Screen Strong has developed curriculums for both parents and children alike to teach on “Kid’s Brains & Screens” as well as help parents navigate a detox if necessary. If you or someone you know is struggling with how to navigate parenting on these topics, please consider sharing this episode with them.

    We do not need to parent alone. There is so much information out there, but to have two older moms share their hearts, experiences, failures, and lessons learned is truly priceless and they don’t leave you anxious about the potential harms, rather, Melanie shares some tips, tools, and resources to help you as you stand strong in culture that is shifting wayward like the tides of the culture.

    How to Respond to Interrupting Biblically | Ginger Hubbard Jun 18, 2024

    Every parent has dealt with a child interrupting. Join Angie and Ginger as they talk about the heart issue behind interrupting, how it can be a temptation for parents to sin as well, how we need to watch our own hearts, and how important it is to teach our children to have a respect for all people.

    The importance of keeping communication lines open with our kids is a major goal of every parent, but how we respond to our children can greatly impact that line of communication.


    If a parent ignores their child while talking to another adult, it can speak that their opinions or needs are not as important as the conversation they are having. We don’t want to communicate that our children are being annoying, rude, and not worth listening to with our actions. It could be a root cause for children feeling as though the parent doesn’t value their thoughts and feelings. This is very foundational in our relationships with our children– fragile ground if you will. But at the same time, we don’t want to cultivate a selfish, self-centered heart in our child by always attending to our child’s every whim at the cost of minimizing the value of others. There is a balance of teaching how to respectfully notify the parent that they need something without interrupting and also taking a moment away from adult conversations at a time that is appropriate and respectful of the other person you were speaking with.


    Go to our website for the show notes, tips for correcting your children biblically, perspective shifts necessary for parents, and scripture references.

    Using BRAVE Books to Equip Your Children on Hot Button Issues | Trent Talbot, CEO Jun 11, 2024

    Christian parents are feeling more alone than ever as they navigate equipping their children in unprecedented times, but it doesn't have to be this way! There's a growing parallel economy of Christian conservative resources. At the forefront is BRAVE books! We went to their headquarters to discuss with their CEO and founder, Trent Talbot, what's behind one of the most compelling Christian children's book publishers helping parents today.

    It's an incredible story of Trent leaving the safety of his career to obey God in starting BRAVE books. His bravery is helping to shift culture with 36 books (so far) by conservative celebrity authors, a movement to fix the library system, and an upcoming TV show with Kirk Cameron that gives parents a better option.

    There's a power in using good stories to impact the next generation. It's vital for parents to proactively address the hot-button issues that are influencing children toward waywardness. The challenge is, that it's hard for parents to know how to communicate with their kids about these complex issues that are oftentimes hidden in the media they consume. Finally, a new children's book can arrive every month that your children will love; and the bonus is that it also helps you, the parent, to equip your children in sound thinking with a conservative and biblical perspective on the issues of today.

    Who’s Spiritually Leading Your Family? Apr 02, 2024

    We all must ask this question and be willing to be honest about it. With about 80% of the children raised in Christian homes leaving the church by age 18, we must do things differently than most Christian parents. So who is spiritually leading your family? As parents, I hope we all would want to say “We are”, but the truth is most aren’t. Not with the intentionality and frequency the bible talks about in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. While a church's influence is good and needed, if that’s where they get most of their Spiritual nourishment, then parents are failing in this area. Isaac and Angie Tolpin dive into what the Bible says about gender roles in the family and the importance of both mom and dad having influence while respecting God’s plan for the family. They even go into what if your husband isn’t a Christian, and direction for single moms and dads too.

    Cultivate a Relationship vs. a Religious Driven Home Dec 19, 2023

    You want to cultivate a relationship-driven home versus a religious home. I think we would all agree that the Christian faith is all about a real ongoing relationship with Jesus. But too often without even realizing it, in the eyes of growing children, they see a religious home that’s more about a couple of weekly events but not enough about a relationship. This starts with our own relationship with Jesus which influences our relationship with our children too. Don’t let life be too busy where you're not actually cultivating deep relationships that are growing with your children and a home that daily reflects its inhabitants having a growing relationship with God.

If a balanced life is the end goal there’s more harm than good that will likely come from it. We need to be raising resilient children, and the pursuit of comfort, ease, and idyllic balance in our lives will likely create weaker adults that enter a world that requires resiliency.

    Too many children are launching from Christian homes and denouncing their faith. If the normal rhythms of Christian parenting aren’t working, then why? The Tolpins believe part of it is; if the heart behind the Spiritual things parents do with and for their families isn’t right, then it may not be having the effect they hope. If we feel a need to do something spiritual, is it only out of duty as a parent, or our love for God? Is it checking off a box, or is it a deep desire to draw closer to the Lord and encourage our family to do so as well? What will the perception of your children be about your spiritual leadership as they get older by what they lived out in your home? Yes, take your family to church, but cultivating a culture in your home where people experience God is a whole different thing.

    Do you ever wonder about the world your children are going to be inheriting? When you ponder their future do you become anxious or worried? I think now more than ever before we hear a very similar narrative from parents, regardless of how old their children are; and rightfully so. Here at Be Courageous Ministries, we advocate for parenting in reality; fully aware of the culture wars of our generation and proactively parenting to equip our children as best as possible. I would say that the past three years, especially, parents have woken up to the harsh realities of the fallen world we live in. The truth is the world has always been this way, fallen. And the sins of today are not new to this generation though we would all like to believe that. The truth found in God’s Word reveals that these same temptations to sin and struggles existed even in biblical days. So what is the solution or encouragement? Join Angie and her daughter Megan as they share biblical truth and good reminders about where our hope is really to be found– in Jesus!

    Striving to Be a Biblical Gentle Mother – with Abbie Halberstadt from “M is for Mama” Mar 22, 2022

    Motherhood is hard sometimes, but hard does not equal bad. We are all striving to be the best Mama to our children, but the journey in learning how to be a biblical mother is not always clear, especially in a world that devalues the duties the role brings and indulges the fleshly desires we must turn away from. Join Angie (Mother to nine) and Abbie (Mother to ten) as they discuss a couple of the most challenging aspects of motherhood that they have experienced. A little hint, they talk about some riveting topics such as “Self-Care vs Soul-Care”, How to Find a Titus 2 Mentor and their experiences, as well as the “Gentleness Challenge” Abbie talks about in her book, “M is for Mama.” In case you are wondering, we talk in-depth about the difference between the “Gentle Parenting” movement of today and what God’s Word calls us to as Biblical Women to be gentle mothers because they are NOT the same thing.

    “Will Your Kids Trust You To Talk About The Hard Things?” Oct 12, 2021

    Too many kids raised in Christian homes are falling away from the faith when they leave their parents' homes. Part of the problem is that too many assumptions are made by parents that actually put performance pressure on kids. That’s the opposite of creating trust and comfort for your kids to ask deep spiritual questions, wrestle with scripture, and be candid about their struggles. If we don’t create this kind of relationship, our kids will conform to the family Christianity, but when they depart from the family unit, their faith falls flat because it wasn’t based on their own real relationship with Christ.
