Licensed professional counselor Alice Churnock of "Ask Alice" podcast fame sits down with Anna to talk about what she has learned from her teenaged clients about the impacts of social media. Because Alice is also a mom, she offers wise practical advice for parents of young teens, who don't yet have a smartphone. Alice also shares guidance for parents who want to pull back on their child's technology use. Finally, she offers the comfort of the gospel for every parent navigating these tricky c...

Parenting, Technology and the Truth: A Theology of Time

February 22, 2024 12:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

In this episode of our technology series, Cameron and Anna discuss the enormous amount of time teenagers (and often, their parents) spend in front of screens on a daily basis. We find that Scripture has a lot to say about "numbering our days [so} that we may get a heart of wisdom" concerning how we spend the time God has given us. "We need to be really careful not to send the message that doing schoolwork or being productive are the only ways to honor God with your time." References: Ephe...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Justice for Our Children

February 08, 2024 12:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna tackle a tough topic: the unjust conduct of social media giants like Meta, TikTok, and Pornhub, who knowingly prey on preteens and teens with the intent to create addicts. Much like the tobacco industry, these companies exploit the vulnerability of children and young adults for profit, despite overwhelming evidence of harm to younger users. God cares deeply about the protection of the vulnerable, so be encouraged that while you m...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Seeking Self-Justification

January 25, 2024 13:00 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MB

Human beings live perpetually aware of their shortcomings, so we are always seeking to justify ourselves by some demonstration of "enoughness." In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna talk about how we use social media filters as self-justification tools, and how we can teach our kids that the gospel answers our nagging sense of inadequacy.  Resources: Psalm 139: 13-15 Galatians 2:10-21 Order Anxiety: Finding the Better Story by Liz Edrington today!  Follow us @ro...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Insta-Envy

January 12, 2024 03:50 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MB

Instagram is unparalleled in its capacity to stir up envy within us; and envy is unparalleled in its power to destroy relationships. In this episode, Cameron and Anna uncover the backbone of envy and talk about the truths from God's word that provide the corrective for our jealousy and covetousness.  Resources: The Agony of Instagram by Alex Williams The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World by Melissa Kruger The Problem of Demandingness by Larry Crabb Scriptures: Cain a...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Thinking Counterculturally

December 07, 2023 12:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MB

If there's one thing Christian parents know, it's that walking with Jesus will put us in conflict with the dominant culture. In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the difficulty and the imperative of raising children who are willing to be different from their peers, for God's glory and their own thriving. "But when we live Christian lives, we are swimming against the stream of popular culture, because Christ Himself was counter cultural. To follow Christ is to be against the stream, but...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Social Media Promotes Comparison

November 20, 2023 12:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

In this episode of our technology series, Cameron and Anna examine the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke's gospel. When we lead our children to understand that their audience is a good God who loves them and finds them flawless in Christ, they will begin to break free from needing to perform for other people and find rest under the smile of their heavenly Father. "Measuring up to the standard does not come through effort or performance, but instead it comes through grace...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: The Insider-Outsider Truth of Being a Teenager

November 09, 2023 12:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MB

The longing for secure belonging is part of being human, but the longing can be particularly acute for teenagers. In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss how this longing feeds into our children's participation on social media platforms.  "So much of the tension and the anxiety that involves social media and technology and kids has to do with this developmental, human reality. It's particularly amplified at the middle school age."  Resources: The Inner Ring ...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Why Our Bodies Matter

October 26, 2023 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss the God-ordained goodness of our bodies. Since the early days of the church, Christians have fought the Greek teaching that matter and the body are bad, and we must escape the physical world. Through the Incarnation of Jesus and the goodness of God's creation, we know that God intends for us to embrace our embodied humanity. To the extent that social media allows us to resist the physical world, we must help our teenagers...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth: Handling Conflict With Your Child

October 12, 2023 05:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MB

Continuing the conversation about viewing technology through the lens of biblical discipleship, Cameron and Anna encourage parents to communicate gently with their children on the topic of technology. Listening well and asking good questions may not make your child feel better about your rules, but these things do dignify the image of God in your child.  "The number one developmental question that an early adolescent has is this: where do I fit in the group? The deepest darkest fear of a mi...

Parenting, Technology, and the Truth

September 26, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MB

In the first episode of our new season, Cameron and Anna will talk about what it looks like to have a discipleship mindset regarding our kids and technology. Our desire as parents is to raise children who love Jesus and have their own relationship with him. With Scripture as our guide, we can teach our children to handle technological tools with godly wisdom, to be faithful to God's Word when they are outside of our homes. "The reality is your child is going to go out in the real world, and...

Parenting Out of the Grace of Jesus

August 10, 2023 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MB

In this final episode of our three-part series, Cameron and Anna focus on what it looks like to parent out of the grace of Jesus. Almost as soon as our babies are born, parents discover that our best efforts are not enough, our sin trips us up continually, and we often don't have a clue if we have done well or made things worse for our children. Into this difficult place come the immeasurable riches of God's grace towards us in Christ Jesus. "The law is positive, in that it shows us our sin...

Parenting Out of the Wisdom of Scripture

July 27, 2023 11:00 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

Cameron and Anna take a pause in the summertime to review what it means to parent out of the rest of the gospel, the wisdom of Scripture, and the grace of Jesus. In this second episode of a three-part series, they examine what it looks like for parents to let the wisdom of Scripture guide their decision-making.

Parenting Out of the Rest of the Gospel

July 14, 2023 02:31 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

Cameron and Anna take a pause in the summertime to review what it means to parent out of the rest of the gospel, the wisdom of Scripture, and the grace of Jesus. In this first episode of a three-part series, they examine the gospel and what it looks like for parents to rest in the finished work of Christ even as we do the hard work of parenting. Rather than trying to justify ourselves either through our good parenting or the success of our children, parents have peace with God through Christ...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: The O.G. Soccer Mom

May 11, 2023 11:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MB

In the final episode of our season "What the Bible Says About Parenting," Cameron and Anna take a look at Salome, the mother of James and John, the sister of Mary- who happens to be Jesus' aunt. When she requests that her sons be allowed to sit at the right and left hands of Jesus in his kingdom, she seeks earthly power for her sons, she thinks it is up to manage her boys' lives, and she fails to understand the priceless position they already enjoy as believers in Jesus. Resources: Matthew...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: Even Mary and Joseph Messed Up Sometimes

April 20, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna take a look at Mary and Joseph's "Home Alone" moment.

What the Bible Says About Parenting: When God's Plan For My Child Differs From Mine

April 13, 2023 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

This week Cameron and Anna examine the annunciation, the moment in Scripture when the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear God's child. Mary's idea of what marriage and family would look like did not meet whatever expectations she might have had. Parents have much to learn from how God helped Mary cope with the gap between what she had hoped for, and the painful reality of being the mother of the Savior of the world. Resources: Luke 1:26-38 Rooted Podcast: Julie Sparkman on When A ...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: Don't Take the Blame Or the Credit for Your Children's Behavior

March 23, 2023 11:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

Looking at two different father-son relationships in the Bible (Saul & Jonathan, and Hezekiah & Manasseh,) Cameron and Anna unpack the comforting truth that parents are not ultimately responsible for how their children turn out. Thankfully, God is. Saul was a faithless, unrighteous king, but his son Jonathan was a humble, loving, loyal son and friend. Hezekiah was a good king, banishing idolatry from Judah but his son wicked Manasseh indulged in every sort of evil. Although we know that pare...

Ask The Experts: Teaching Our Children Biblical Truth with Alisa Childers

March 09, 2023 12:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MB

In an episode youth pastors and parents will not want to miss, Cameron interviews Christian writer and apologist Alisa Childers about why biblical truth matters so much as we disciple our kids. Their conversation covers, among many things, the linguistic theft of words like "love" and "tolerance"; cultural lies like YOLO and "God just wants you to be happy"; and the importance of teaching kids to suffer in light of the Cross. Alisa also shares two important pieces of advice for parents, and ...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: The "Worthless" Sons of Eli

February 23, 2023 12:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss the pitfalls of permissive parenting. Despite best intentions, sometimes parents fall into the trap of pleasing their kids rather than wisely frustrating their whims and desires. The tale of the priest Eli and his sons, contrasted with the story of Hannah and Samuel, helps us to see how permissive parenting can truly contribute to our kids' ruin, while choosing to serve God in our parenting can lead our kids to a fruitful...

What The Bible Says About Parenting: Looking at Our Children Through God's Eyes

February 09, 2023 12:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MB

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Looking at the example of Jesse and his sons, Cameron and Anna discuss how parents can focus on outward appearances and overlook a child's heart. Parents must learn to resist labeling children, to ask God for help seeing our children clearly, and to focus on developing godly character rather than outward appearances.

January 26, 2023 12:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

What the Bible Says About Parenting: The Temptation to Use Our Children for our Own Agendas

January 12, 2023 12:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

Most parents would like to think we would never use our children to serve our own agendas, but the temptation to manipulate our children to get what we want is more subtle than it might appear. In this episode of the podcast, Cameron and Anna examine the shocking example of Laban, who tricks Jacob into marrying both of his daughters. Upon closer examination, every person in the story is using the others to fulfill their own needs and wants, though some are more sinned against than sinning. T...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: Abraham, Isaac, and Accepting That Your Child Belongs to God

December 20, 2022 12:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MB

Looking at one of the most difficult and ultimately beautiful passages in the Bible, Cameron and Anna discuss the freedom parents will experience when they remember their children belong to the Lord. In this light, children become gifts and parents let go of anxious ownership. Knowing the grace of God given to us through Jesus enables a parent to surrender control and trust God to fulfill his purposes for our children.  References Genesis chapter 22 Follow us @rootedministry!

What the Bible Says About Parenting: Parents Are Servant Leaders

November 30, 2022 12:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MB

One of the greatest challenges for a Christian parent is striking the balance between being a wise authority and being a humble servant in the lives of their children. Parents must discipline effectively, training children to obey, while at the same time they must meet their children's needs with timely warmth and affection. Most of us tend to err toward one or the other, preferring to command respect ("because I said so") or to orient family life around keeping their children happy (often o...

Ask The Experts: When a Teenager Comes Out to Their Parents

November 17, 2022 12:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

In this special episode, Cameron interviews Amanda Smith about how a parent can respond with love and compassion when their teenager comes out as LGBTQ. She reminds parents how much courage, fear, and pain their teenager may have already experienced before this conversation, and she urges parents to affirm their love and care for their child, who may fear rejection. Parents should also be aware of their own fear and pain in these moments, and they need to find those who will care well for th...

What the Bible Says About Parenting: Proverbs for Parents

October 27, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

This week on the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna dive into the book of Proverbs. Noting that wisdom literature offers principles, not promises, they demonstrate that the foundational principle that guides the entire book is found in Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." This is good news for parents because our hope is not in ourselves, but in the Lord. Our hosts examine the general themes of discipline, authority, modeling, correction, and character. Loving...

October 13, 2022 11:00 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

We are thrilled to welcome you to the first installment of our newest Rooted Parent Podcast season: What the Bible Says About Parenting. The Bible is not about us, but it is for us. God's Word is an invitation to relationship with him, given to us that we may know who he is. As God disciples parents, parents in turn disciple their children to know God. So as we examine what the Word has to say to parents, we remember that while there's not a lot of explicit instruction to moms and dads, Scri...

Fear Factor in Parenting: Fear of the Teenage Years with Paul David Tripp

May 26, 2022 19:21 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MB

Paul Tripp's name is synonymous with wise Christian parenting practices, and his book Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens is one of the most hopeful, practical resources available today. Our culture tends to see teenagers as problematic: hormones, inexperience, and expanding freedom create a potentially combustible mix in a young person's life, and parents can only hope that they, and their children, can survive the teenage years with a measure of sanity intact. Or so th...

Fear Factor in Parenting: The Fear of Becoming Like Your Parents

February 10, 2022 12:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MB

Oftentimes adults will look back on the way they were raised with a critical eye, telling themselves “I would never relate to my kids the way my mom or dad related to me”—but we can fall into the trap of calling that wisdom, rather than recognizing the fear (and self-righteousness) that lurks under that perspective. Certainly our relationships with our parents can be very complicated and we can learn from their mistakes, but we will make mistakes of our own if we allow ourselves to be driven...
