…but not everything is beneficial. There are things that may be legal and moral-ish, but that does not mean they are good for the believer. In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about some of these things and what the Bible says about dealing with things that may not be beneficial to the believer. Parents must be careful that they worship God throughout the week so that they may live in a way that brings Him praise, glory, and honor.

How does God work? Does He only use big moments to create incredible situations and miracles? Or does He use the faithfulness of those who trust and obey Him? In this episode, Tim recounts a story of an act of faithfulness that changed the course of his family, showing that God can use anyone to accomplish His will. Little acts of faithfulness lead to big moments of power. Parents must play the long game in praying for their families, even if it takes fifteen years and beyond.

Things can be going smoothly for a time, and then everything seems to crumble and fall. In these times, we must remember how great God is and how much we need to continue to rely on Him. In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about Bible study that stalls and feels like there is no progression or learning. Your faith is not dependent on your performance, and your parenting must be grounded in the fact that God is working all situations for His glory and your good.

Passage – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Part 2 is here for you! In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about the Bible study resources they use and recommend to you. SPOILER, get a study Bible. Though commentaries are important and can benefit you greatly, prayerfully working through Scripture through the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit will get you the knowledge to obey God's commands. Obedience, not complete knowledge, is the expectation of the believer.

Unless you have a seminary education to some degree, you have mostly been left on your own to figure out how to study the Bible. Sadly, many churches do not give classes or examples of how this is done. In this episode, Tim and Matt bring their seminary-educated minds together to give the first of a few episodes focused on giving parents the basics they need to begin their journey in studying the Bible for themselves. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, every believer has what they need to be able to understand Scripture. To aid this process, keep in mind the genre of each book and approach your time in Scripture with prayer.

"A whole Bible makes a whole Christian." This saying teaches that the Old and New Testaments not only make up the whole Bible, but they are both necessary to make a whole Christian. In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about why "unhitching" the Old Testament from believers today goes against God's intended meaning for giving us the Bible. If parents are to better understand New Testament theology, then Old Testament narratives show how God's Word should be lived out.

In everything, make sure to set aside time in God's Word in your schedule so that you may love Him with all you are and your families as yourself.

Let's be honest. Thankfulness is not a lifestyle that many of us live. It is much easier to go through life and just accept things the way they are, but should that be the way a believer lives? In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about living a life of thankfulness by acknowledging God's providence in the seemingly insignificant parts of life. God is the originator of all good and perfect things, so remember that as you spend time this week thanking Him for what you have and do not have.

Also, Tim has a battle for the ages against an invading force not seen in Odessa for centuries. Will our hero rise triumphant in his skirmish, or will the invader seize control of the office? Tune in to find out!
