  • Raising Faithful Creators: Wisdom for Parents of Young Artists (w/ Master Penman Jake Weidmann)
    Jun 24 2025
    Our children are creative. They create from a young age as they design, draw, sing, and play their way through new experiences. Sometimes tech builds on these beautiful creative moments, and sometimes, as Jake Weidmann points out, they simply exist within the confines of other peoples' creative endeavors. Today we'll talk with Jake Weidmann, husband, Christ-follower, and master Penman, about his lifelong journey of following Jesus through the gifts and creativity he's been given.

  • Live in Victory (Walking in Freedom, Part 5)
    Jun 17 2025
    Walking in freedom from pornography doesn't simply mean having better rules, it means having a better focus on who, and whose, we are. Today we'll put a bow on this five-part conversation and look at how we:

    1. Remove and replace
    2. Remember our identity
    3. Live in Victory

  • Parenting in a World of P*rn (Walking in Freedom, Part 4)
    Jun 10 2025
    How do we parent children well in a world saturated with pornography? It's actually quite simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. It takes hard work, and diligent relational parenting, to do these three steps well. First, we define the term p*rnogrpahy, then we talk about it in a way that equips our children to spot the lie, then we build hedges around our family to give them every opportunity to make the right decision in healthy ways.

  • The Good News (Walking in Freedom, Part 3)
    Jun 3 2025
    The Gospel of Jesus Christ gives us more than forgiveness, it gives us identity and power in the face of our sins. In Christ we are:

    1. New creations
    2. Children of God
    3. Given everything we need for life and godliness

    Because of this we can live in freedom, starting today, no matter our history of mistakes or current struggles. Real victory is possible, in this life, and there is a real way for us to walk in that freedom.

  • Porn is Bad for Everyone (Walking in Freedom, Part 2)
    May 27 2025
    To better understand our conversation on pornography, we need to understand the lay of the land when it comes to research about pornography. Today we'll address three specific questions:
    1. Why is pornography different from other digital inputs, or even other sins?
    2. How does pornography impact the brain?
    3. What does research tell us about porn and our world?

  • Porn is a Lie (Walking in Freedom, Part 1)
    May 20 2025
    Today we begin our short series on walking in freedom in an area of sin that is pervasive within the church: pornography. This conversation is hope-focused and aimed at equipping parents, students, friends, pastors, and believers from all walks of life to experience fullness of the freedom Christ has saved them for (Galatians 5:1).

    Today's conversation focuses on the lie of pornography, and how pornography is the perfect representation of our fallen condition, because porn is a lie from our flesh, from the world, and from the devil himself.

  • Show Up
    May 13 2025
    Parenting means showing up. I've been wrestling with how to be a better parent, and often feeling like I'm falling short. When I'm laying in bed I'll run through all the ways I could've done a better job. In praying about this I've been convicted that, while I can always do better, I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be. My job as a parent is to show up. Today we'll talk about the three ways we can show up for our children: in prayer, in relationship, and in loving boundaries.

  • A Time for Everything Under the Sun
    May 6 2025
    Jesus instructs us on just about every topic we run into during our human lives: He addresses abiding, suffering, love, grace, compassion, right living, being made new in him, and faith. He addresses Hell a lot. He’s pretty specific about his teaching on wealth, and on the fact that we all have borrowed time. In thinking about it, I think Jesus addresses play pretty comprehensively. He even mentions play, if only by extension from his other topics.

    Today we'll dive into four aspects of playing well as Jesus instructs us, and check if our play helps, rather than hinders, our sleep, our ability to mourn and to be with those who mourn, to rejoice and be with those who rejoice, and to be still.
