070: Teach your kids the truth about women (PROVERBS SERIES) Jul 20, 2024

Show notes

The society we live in is obviously confused about manhood and womanhood, and in particular, womanhood has been characterized in many distorted and unhelpful ways. As Christian parents, it's our responsibility and privilege to teach our children - boys and girls - what a real, godly woman is like. Today, we dive into Proverbs 31 to glean some insight into that task.

068: Teach your kids to honor you (PROVERBS SERIES) Jul 06, 2024

Show notes

There are really only TWO commands the scriptures give to kids, speciically. They are: "Obey your parents" and "Honor your father and mother."

Here's the kicker (and sometimes the awkward feeling things): We parents are responsible to teach these two commands to our children and to help them recoginze when they are not fulfilling them.

This episode is about that.
