Christian Home and Family Radical Faith for Generations
106 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 6 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWhat 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 MBWhy 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 MBOur 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 MBA 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 MBWhy would I throw in my thoughts on such a popular and written-to-death sort of subject?

What Does It Mean to Be a Spiritual Leader? : A Challenge for Husbands [Ep 101]
December 07, 2017 16:00 - 40 minutes - 31.8 MBA 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 MBI 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 MBThe 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 MBThe 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 MBIn 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...

May 10, 2017 15:00 - 26 minutes - 20.2 MBI 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...

A prayer for my grandsons - from The Parable of The Sower
April 24, 2017 20:49 - 15 minutes - 12 MBOn 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 MBMany 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 MBSeasons 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 MBFamily conflicts can make life inside the home horrendous. Nobody wants to be around when arguing, fighting, and complaining are the norm.

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...

September 10, 2014 13:37 - 5 minutes - 4.57 MBGod 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.

September 03, 2014 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.74 MBThere are a million different ways you could get into the scriptures and get the scriptures into you.

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.

August 20, 2014 12:15 - 7 minutes - 5.97 MBI 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 MBLife 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...

July 09, 2014 14:00 - 6 minutes - 4.67 MBHow 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...

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 MBMost 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...

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 ...

March 19, 2014 12:30 - 9 minutes - 6.94 MBAmerican (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?
