Christian Home and Family Radical Faith for Generations

106 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 6 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratings

What would you give to know that your family will be faithful to Jesus over the long haul? And I'm not just talking about you and your children - but their children, and their children after them. What would you give? The biblical picture of Christian faithfulness is radical faith, faith that is uncompromising and unrelenting in its desire to honor Christ above all things in the practical things of everyday life. That radical faith, passed down from one generation to the next is the only thing that will create generational faithfulness. The Christian Home and Family podcast is my humble attempt to teach, challenge, and equip Christian families to take up the mantle of radical faith for the sake of seeing Jesus glorified in them and through them. It's not for the timid. It's not for the tepid or lukewarm. Radical faith belongs to radical people. Will you be one of them? Will your family be one of generational faithfulness?

Why Our Kids Don't Date and How We Accomplished It - Episode 105

February 15, 2018 16:00 - 20 minutes - 15.6 MB

Why our kids do not date This post is not about dating VS courtship... so you can relax. This post is about the wisdom (or lack of wisdom) that is inherent in the cultural practice of dating... and what can be done about it in YOUR family. When my oldest son was very small, my wife and I prayerfully decided that our children would not "date" in the typical sense of the word. Our experiences had not been all that great, and we knew there had to be a better way for a...

Loving The Personal Weakness of Your Spouse [Ep 104]

January 18, 2018 16:00 - 15 minutes - 11.9 MB

Our culture tends to be a really self centered. There is not much grace for the personal weakness of others. And so, in step with our culture, a lot of the things that you hear talked about when it comes to the difficulties of married life have to do with one of the partners being bothered by the actions or attitudes of the other partner. As a result we hear complaining - we hear wishes of the things that the other spouse would do differently - and I think while that...

How a commitment to personal freedom is gutting Christian parenting [Ep 103]

December 21, 2017 16:00 - 12 minutes - 9.62 MB

A while back my wife and I were talking about absolutes... As we sat over coffee at our favorite local hangout (my favorite drink is a "Honey Badger," with a little extra "badger" - you should try one), we were trying to soak in the blessings God has poured out on our lives. We both teared up at times (which happens when you realize how much you don't deserve all the goodness you get from God). ><><><>< Subscribe to the CHAF Podcast On Android | Apple Podcasts |...

The KEY to raising godly children (OR: God-fearing children and the parents who raise them ) [Ep 102]

December 14, 2017 16:00 - 14 minutes - 11.2 MB

Why would I throw in my thoughts on such a popular and written-to-death sort of subject?  Because what I consider to be the KEY to raising godly children has not been said enough, or loudly enough. Subscribe to the CHAF Podcast On Android | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Podbean | Spreaker | Email   The key to raising godly children is to first be a godly parent.

What Does It Mean to Be a Spiritual Leader? : A Challenge for Husbands [Ep 101]

December 07, 2017 16:00 - 40 minutes - 31.8 MB

A spiritual leader is not the person who has all the right, holy-sounding answers. A spiritual leader is a person who humbly goes first in serving others. That’s one of the many lessons I’ve learned about what it means to be a spiritual leader in my family over the past almost-30 years. This episode of the Christian Home and Family podcast is aimed at gaining a greater understanding of two of the key biblical passages that speak to the issue of spiritual leadership...

Parenting from the Bible, the Death of Fluffy, and Dealing With Reality [Ep 100]

November 30, 2017 16:00 - 23 minutes - 17.8 MB

I hope it’s your desire to learn everything you need to know about parenting from the Bible. I say that because, in my experience, the Bible is all we need. Psychology has its place, as do good books from Christian authors. But in the end, the truth expressed in scripture about how we live our lives as Christ-followers applies across the board. That means that how the Bible instructs us to behave as Christians can and should be applied to the way we lead, teach, an...

The Foundation of a Marriage that Honors Christ - part 4 of 4 [Ep 99]

November 23, 2017 16:00 - 51 minutes - 40.9 MB

  The foundation of a marriage is an important thing. That’s because foundations are important. You don’t think about them much, but without them everything falls apart. Behind the three vital things I’ve covered in the last few episodes - Commitment, Communication, and Connection - there rests a foundation that holds them all in place. And like the foundation of a house, without this foundation every marriage, Christian or not, will be far less than what it was in...

The 3rd “C” of a Christ-Honoring Marriage: Connection [Ep 98]

November 16, 2017 16:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MB

The kind of marriage connection you want is possible… But you have to understand that it’s built upon other things - the individual relationships you and your spouse have with God through Christ, AND the healthy, ongoing communication you establish with each other. Only then, can the connection and unity you desire in your marriage come to fruition. This episode is the 3rd talk I gave at a recent marriage retreat on the 3 Cs of a Christ-honoring marriage. Subscri...

Christian Marriage: Communication is Key - part 2 of 4 [Ep 97]

November 09, 2017 16:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

In a Christian marriage, communication is one of the foundational things that enables man and wife to live together in harmony. But more important is the WHY it’s so vital. It’s because without communication a wife and her husband are unable to understand the state of the other’s ongoing commitment to Christ and be of benefit to them in that journey. This audio is the 2nd in a series of talks I gave recently at a marriage retreat. We had some technical issues with my...

Commitment: The 1st C of a Christ-Centered Marriage - Part 1 of 4 [Ep 96]

September 20, 2017 02:21 - 31 minutes - 24.5 MB

www.ChristiandHomeandFamily.com [email protected] I was recently asked to speak at a marriage retreat here in the mountains of Colorado. My topic, for four sessions was this... The 3 Cs of a Christ-Honoring Marriage Those 3 Cs are: Commitment, Communication, and Connection. This episode features the first of those talks - Commitment. And it's not the kind of commitment you might think of when you consider marriage.  Take a listen to this episod...

Marriage Restoration Is Possible: Take These Steps [Ep. 95]

May 10, 2017 15:00 - 26 minutes - 20.2 MB

  I am one of those people who believes that marriage restoration is possible for any Christ-following couple who is willing to seek God for the type of healing that only He can bring. I’ve seen it happen. So I can confidently say that there is hope for your marriage if you are willing to humbly submit to God’s plan for restoring it. This episode of the podcast is a recording I made as I was driving to pick up my wife from the airport after a visit to her sister’s home...

The Good Stewardship of Your Family Is A BIG Deal [Ep. 94]

May 03, 2017 23:12 - 14 minutes - 9.8 MB

A prayer for my grandsons - from The Parable of The Sower

April 24, 2017 20:49 - 15 minutes - 12 MB

On becoming "Grand-Pop" As I've been considering the implications of the birth of this second generation that has sprung from me, I've been sobered. Though Wyatt's upbringing falls mainly on my son and his sweet wife, Hannah, I have a deep conviction in my soul that I am responsible in some very important ways as well. Here are some of the things that come to mind: For now, they live in the same town as we do, so I have the opportunity to invest the seeds of what God ...

Letting Go Of Adult Children And Taking Hold Of The Faithfulness Of God [Ep 92]

February 20, 2017 14:00 - 14 minutes - 11.2 MB

Many parents, Christian or otherwise, have the hardest time letting go of adult children. There’s no easy way to do it and no magic formula that makes everything turn out perfectly. But there is a realization that I’ve come to as I’ve watched 3 of my children move into adulthood: God is faithful - even now - even after I’ve not done everything I could have done to set them on the best path possible.   Now that your kids are adults, are you beating yourself up about t...

God’s Faithfulness in Seasons of Change [Ep 91]

December 01, 2016 02:20 - 14 minutes - 11.2 MB

Seasons of change are part of life. There’s no avoiding it. Sometimes the season can linger for much longer than we like. Other times it’s fairly brief. And as is common for almost everyone, change is hard to handle. The same goes for me. I’ve been away from the Christian Home and Family podcast and website for some time. You may have seen a few blog posts pop up here and there when something was on my heart, but the truth is that I’ve been anything but consistent. Thi...

Podcast 90 – How to stop family conflicts - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

September 24, 2014 14:00 - 7 minutes - 6.01 MB

Family conflicts can make life inside the home horrendous. Nobody wants to be around when arguing, fighting, and complaining are the norm. So how do you get past the arguing? You get past it by preventing it in the first place. And you do that through working hard toward every person in the family having a right relationship with God.

Podcast 89 – How to stop sinning - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

September 17, 2014 13:00 - 6 minutes - 5.06 MB

Yes, really. I know we'd all like to know how to stop sinning, and the truth is that the Bible gives us plain, simple instructions for how to do it. But even though it's simple, it's not easy. Every believer in Christ has the opportunity to apply what John says (1 John) and stop sinning. It's a daily, step by step discipline we have to develop. This episode of the podcast is going to highlight the only path to stop sinning, and give some tips on how to move in that...

Podcast 88 – God is light, and what it means for your family! - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

September 10, 2014 13:37 - 5 minutes - 4.57 MB

God seems to love illustrations and symbols. The scriptures are full of them: sheep, goats, seeds, plants, vines, brides and bridegrooms, light, darkness - you get the idea. This episode uses the biblical illustration of light to show you a fun and effective way that you can use light to teach your family that God is light, and what that means for their lives.

Podcast 87 – 30 day Bible saturation for spiritual growth - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

September 03, 2014 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.74 MB

There are a million different ways you could get into the scriptures and get the scriptures into you. But here's one that's honestly new to me, taught to me by my daughter. I call it the 30 day Bible saturation, and it's really a cool way to get yourself immersed in some of the main themes of scripture in a very contextual way.

Podcast 86- I can’t do this anymore! True or False? - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

August 20, 2014 12:15 - 7 minutes - 5.97 MB

I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE - TRUE OR FALSE? In this episode of the podcast we'll be considering a very common statement I hear from people who have lived for many years in a painful or hurtful circumstance. "I can't do this anymore." I know how you feel, but is it true? Well, yes and no. I can't count the number of times I've either heard someone say, or have said myself, "I can't do this anymore." We say it after a prolonged time of endurance, when the difficulty, frus...

Podcast 85 – Flexibility in family life - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

August 13, 2014 12:04 - 7 minutes - 5.66 MB

Life gets crazy. Work demands, soccer games, home repairs, shopping trips, relationships to maintain, and important, ongoing conversations to have. It's enough to make you the most inflexible person alive!   On top of all that is the heart-cry we all have to discover and do what God is calling us to. I don't know about you, but I'm in THAT place almost all the time... wondering what the LORD wants me to do when I grow up.   My family is in that place right now, p...

August 06, 2014 12:30 - 8 minutes - 7.37 MB

OK parents, it's time to get real. Life is too short for us to spend it in the aimless pursuit of status, stuff, or personal satisfaction. There's too much at stake.   God has given us one of the most wonderful AND most daunting responsibilities we could ever have and it's one that is intended to change the course of history. We're not just living, we're not just raising kids, we're building a foundation of radical Christian faith that can last for generations.You a...

USING SCRIPTURE IN FAMILY DEVOTIONS HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY DO A FAMILY DEVOTIONAL TIME?

Podcast 82 – Integrating music into your family devotions - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

July 23, 2014 14:05 - 6 minutes - 4.45 MB

USING MUSIC IN FAMILY DEVOTIONS Including music for the sake of worship is not an easy task for most people If you're not musically inclined, what do you do? Before we get into the "how" part of including music in your family worship, there's one other step we need to take first... Talk with your family about the "WHY" behind singing… Why do we sing to God in the first place? It's not only that it's fun (though it is), it's one way that we worship God. And remem...

FAMILY DEVOTIONS WITH YOUNG KIDS IN THE MIX Before we begin to talk about the "how to" portion of family devotions with younger kids involved, let's remind ourselves of the purpose of family devotions... PURPOSE OF FAMILY DEVOTIONS: Facilitate heart-level connection between your family members and the God of the universe. That kind of connection IS possible in the hearts and minds of younger kids. Don't underestimate their capacity to make very real connections with ...

Podcast 80 – Getting started with family devotions - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

July 09, 2014 14:00 - 6 minutes - 4.67 MB

How to begin your own family devotions UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE Family devotions are intended to facilitate heart-level spiritual growth. They are not just about getting more knowledge into your head (or the heads of your kids). So your goal in devotions should never be to teach your kids to be perfect little theologians, having all the answers to every questoion, or applying religious formulas for a happy day/life. Family devotions are about relationship - between ea...

This episode is brought to you by my men's event... The Understanding Way Weekend for Christan Husbands. You can find out more at www.ChristianHomeandFamily.com/uww   There is a lot of joking that happens surrounding the differences between men and women, mainly because the differences are very real.

Podcast 75 – How parents can impact their child’s direction - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

June 04, 2014 12:30 - 7 minutes - 5.08 MB

Parents of adolescents, older teens, and adult children can often view the trajectory of their child's life with great concern because they can see the disaster that bad choices are bringing. Is there anything a parent can do to divert their child from a life of terrible consequences? In this episode of the podcast, I'm going to give every parent two things they can do that will help them move into their child's life in a positive way, to help gently steer them into he...

Podcast 74 – Teach your kids personal quiet time habits (2nd of 2 parts) - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

May 28, 2014 12:30 - 34 minutes - 26.8 MB

God is faithful to do His work in our children, as we are faithful to teach them how to seek Him through quiet time practices... This podcast is part 2 of a conversation I had with my children 2 years ago about how the LORD has faithfully led them to seek Him through the habit of personal quiet time. As you'll hear, none of them are perfect at it, and none of them feels they have a walk with the LORD totally wired. But each of them has their own genuine relationship wi...

May 21, 2014 12:30 - 36 minutes - 28.4 MB

Every Christian parent I know wants their children to learn how to walk closely with the LORD. We know how important it is to maintain a vibrant relationship with God as an adult, and want it for our kids too. In this episode of the Christian Home and Family podcast, which is quite a bit longer than my normal episodes... I'm going to be having a conversation with three great young folks - my three oldest kids, Aaron, Melinda, and Madeline. This conversation was recorde...

Podcast 72 – Poor self esteem is NOT your child’s problem - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

May 14, 2014 13:00 - 7 minutes - 5.65 MB

For years we've been told that our children have a fragile, but incredibly valuable sense of self-esteem, and that if we aren't careful, we could damage it beyond repair. As a result many attempts have been made in educational theories, parenting philosophies, and other areas, to bolster and build up a child's sense of self worth. Some of the tactics that have been tried in this social experiment are… 1 Contests and sports where "everybody is a winner." Everyone gets...

Podcast 71 – A “bad parenting” case study - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

May 07, 2014 13:00 - 9 minutes - 7.2 MB

We've seen bad parenting before... It was in a restaurant, at a ball game, or in the store. A parent was being held hostage by a 3 year old, or a ten year old, or a seventeen year old. The tantrums, moody attitudes, screams when the parent tries to do something for the child's good, and overall disrespectful attitudes showed to everyone who was unfortunate enough to have to witness the event, that the child AND the parent were out of control. We were the one unfortunat...

Podcast 70 – One of the main reasons kids rebel - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

April 30, 2014 12:30 - 6 minutes - 4.49 MB

Most kids who go off the deep end, into a season or rebellion, do so for one reason. They see the rules and restrictions that authorities place on them as personal attacks rather than loving means of protection… and THAT is the problem of the authorities in their lives, not the kids. Another way I often say it is this: Rules without relationship, creates rebellion. Rules are not a bad thing. Because human beings are fallen creatures, we need rules to show us right a...

Podcast 69 – Why having your kids memorize scripture could DESTROY them - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

April 23, 2014 12:30 - 7 minutes - 5.32 MB

Let me be clear. I LOVE the Bible. I believe it to be God's word, divinely inspired, and profitable for our instruction, edification, and teaching. I can't tell you how much I have grown because of the truths the scriptures contain. I read it every single day of my life. BUT, I also know, from personal experience, that a head full of Bible verses can be a very damaging thing. You can know what the scriptures say, and have it do absolutely no good in your life. Memorizi...

Podcast 68 – Why the fruit of the Spirit is not a checklist - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

April 16, 2014 13:30 - 4 minutes - 3.26 MB

If you've been in Christian circles for any length of time, you've heard a sermon or talk about the fruit of the Spirit. You've seen it on plaques in people's homes, you've heard children's songs about this list of virtues. Our human tendency is to take list of character qualities like that and make them into a checklist that we have to strive toward. We feel good if we accomplish some of them in a given day, and bad and guilty if we don 't. Is that what the Apostle ...

Podcast 67 – Trusting God when it hurts - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

April 09, 2014 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.44 MB

One of the most difficult parts of the Christian life is continuing to trust God when hard things are coming into our lives. God, what are You doing? Why is this happening to me? I thought I was Your child and that You were my Protector? These and a thousand more questions echo through our souls as we struggle to understand the hardship we're enduring. In this episode of the podcast Carey is going to give you a way to look at the hardships that helps you endure wha...

Podcast 66 – Learn how to engage in purposeful parenting - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

April 02, 2014 12:33 - 5 minutes - 4.22 MB

Parenting is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work if you're going to do it in an effective, God-honoring way. In this episode of the podcast Carey is going share with you about a concept he calls "purposeful parenting" - it's a way of viewing your relationship in a proactive way rather than floating through your parenting role, dealing with things as they come up. Using the approach of purposeful parenting, you can get into your kids' hearts and find out what issues the...

March 26, 2014 12:30 - 11 minutes - 8.95 MB

Everyone fights those nagging little voices of condemnation that speak to their own minds. It's part of the human condition. But for Christians, there is a powerful way to deal with those lies, and it's based on the truths God has shared with us in His word. Parents, you have to know that your kids are going to struggle with those same issues. In fact, they probably already do, even the younger ones. In this episode, Carey is going to walk you through a passage from th...

Podcast 64 – The myth of safety - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

March 19, 2014 12:30 - 9 minutes - 6.94 MB

American (western) culture tries to convince us that we can be "safe." We purchase insurance policies, save up cash, build retirement funds, all for the sake of being safe. But is it really true? As Christians, we even "Christian-ize" the concept, taking scriptures to support the view and to give ourselves a sense that God guarantees our safety because we are believers. It's simply not true. In this episode Carey is covering the basics of biblical faith in God, and how...

Podcast 63 – Little white lies, or big black sins? - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

March 12, 2014 12:30 - 8 minutes - 6.58 MB

We all tell "little white lies" now and then. But are they really so little? And what impact do they have on the life and example of a Christian family? In this episode Carey talks about what God thinks of our "little white lies" and challenges us to be people of truth, people who example and reflect the truth of God in everything we do.

Podcast 62 – Your responsibility for your children’s faith in Christ - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

March 05, 2014 13:30 - 7 minutes - 5.57 MB

"Wait a minute! I thought my kids were responsible to have their OWN faith in Jesus!" They are. You can relax. That's not what I'm talking about. Of course they have to choose to place their trust in Jesus, but the question is, "How are they going to get to that point?" THAT is where your responsibility as a Christian parent comes in. In this episode Carey is going to talk you through Psalm 78, and discuss how YOU are responsible, in God's eyes, for leading your childr...

Podcast 61 – REVAMP! – changes to the podcast - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

February 26, 2014 13:30 - 4 minutes - 3.3 MB

I've been taking a break from podcasting for the last 4 to 5 months. I did so because I wanted to make sure I was "practicing what I preach" regarding keeping family priorities in order. So, during a time of huge transition for my family, I took some time off from the podcast to make sure the family was getting the attention from me that was needed. I'm back! - and I'm revamping the podcast a bit. After careful consideration and prayer, I'm taking a new approach to the...

Podcast 60 – Scripture Memory Songs with Danny Stephens - Radical faith for generations | family, faith, parenting, marriage, Christian life, spiritual life

October 30, 2013 12:30 - 33 minutes - 26.2 MB

Today's Guest Danny Stephens REVIEW ON I-TUNES I grew up through the 70s and 80s, eras of HUGE musical styles and progressions... and the melody and words of thousands of songs from those days are still embedded in my mind. Music is powerful... able to insert itself into our souls in ways like few other things. It makes sense to use God's creation of music to help ourselves learn the transforming truths of His word. In this episode I'm talking with Danny Stephens, a...
