Beyond Sundays

In a world that often feels darker by the day, how do we raise families who shine the light of Jesus without being overwhelmed by the culture around them? In this episode, we sit down with Tai Ann McClendon to talk about what it truly means to be salt and light in today's world. Many believers think the safest response is to pull back, protect, and isolate. But what if Jesus is calling us to something bolder? Together, we unpack what it looks like to engage culture without accepting it, to equip our kids to live on mission, and to love people who need to experience the love of Jesus. This conversation is full of practical tools and powerful encouragement for parents, leaders, and anyone who desires to influence the world for Jesus, starting at home. This one will challenge you, encourage you, and give you tools to engage the culture around you with boldness and grace. * * *Host: Sarah Turner Guest: Tai Ann McClendon

In this bonus episode of the Beyond Sundays Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on what students are really navigating in today's digital culture, even from a young age. From cell phones and iPads to YouTube and Snapchat, technology is shaping minds and habits faster than many parents realize. But this conversation isn't rooted in fear or shame. It's about empowering parents, students, and leaders to engage with technology intentionally. We explore why early awareness matters and what it looks like to lead your home with wisdom and purpose. This episode offers practical insight and helpful resources for protecting your home, setting boundaries, and teaching the next generation to use technology in a way that elevates their faith. If you're a parent, student, or leader who wants to take dominion over your digital world rather than be ruled by it, this conversation is for you. * * *HOST: Mason Kerby GUESTS: Daniel Beal & Daniel Reinhardt

God is never in a hurry, and He doesn't waste anything. But when life takes unexpected turns, it's easy to wonder: Where is the Lord in this? In this episode, we're joined by Christin Turner from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry to talk about how calling isn't a destination—it's a journey. Whether you're single, married, raising a family, or navigating a career transition, God is shaping you in every season. The key is learning to stay in step with Him and trust His timing. Join us as we explore:

Fear can be one of the biggest obstacles to stepping into God's purpose for our lives.

Last week, we discussed the importance of consistency in our walk with God. This week, we take it a step further and explore what it truly means to be a finisher. Through biblical insights and personal reflections, we'll uncover how being a finisher impacts not just our relationship with God, but also our witness to the world.

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of consistency—and the common traps that often hold us back.

We'll dive into how these struggles arise and, more importantly, how to overcome them—not by relying on our own human effort, but through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. You'll discover how small, intentional actions, supported by community, can lead to lasting growth and profound transformation.

In this episode, we dive deep into the true essence of influence and what it means to be the salt of the earth and light of the world in our daily lives. While being a light for others isn't complicated, we often avoid it because it feels inconvenient—we prefer comfort over calling. But the truth is, comfort is counterfeit peace, robbing us of the incredible things God wants to do in us and through us. Influence is a powerful opportunity to represent Jesus in a world that craves hope, and leadership is all about using that influence to steward God's most precious resource: people. It's time to break free from comfort, embrace our calling, and step fully into the influence God has given us. Whether you realize it or not, you are a leader!

Open, respectful communication is an important ingredient in a healthy parent-child relationship. Research shows that building open, respectful communication with our kids can help prevent mental health issues and behavioral struggles. But, how do we encourage our children to share their thoughts and feelings with us? How do we build stronger connections with our children? Join Geoffrey and Sarah Turner as they sit down with their daughters, Berkley and Ellie, for a heartfelt "parent evaluation" to strengthen their connection. Here's to building stronger connections with our children as we tune into thier desires, dreams, and fears to foster empathy and compassion in our parent-child relationships! * * *  LET'S BE FRIENDS!  HOST: Sarah Turner: Instagram | Facebook Geoffrey Turner: Instagram | Facebook  * * *  Beltway Park Church: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube Beltway Park Church * * *  SHOW NOTES: Questions  ·      What can I do to be a better parent to you? ·      Do you feel like I listen well? ·      What do I do that you don't like? ·      What rules are confusing or do you think we should revisit? ·      What goal can we set as a family? ·      What do you like/dislike about being in our family? ·      What are the biggest challenges you're facing? ·      How can we make our family more fun? ·      What things are you excited about? ·      Is there anything I can help you with? ·      Do you feel as if I understand you? ·      What's a memory that makes you happy? ·      What do I do that makes you feel loved? ·      How would you describe our family? These are questions that you can ask your children at any time, anyplace. But you might get more detailed responses if you pick a time and location when your youngster is attentive, at ease, and not in a rush. Additionally, the less distractions, the better. These conversations can take place in a variety of settings, such as the dinner table, bedtime, car journeys, and lines or appointments where you have your child's undivided attention. Discussion starters that are likely to spark interest include things like their hobbies, interests, friends, and pop culture. Ask them questions about their interests, such as superheroes, soccer, painting, or the piano. Examples include "What do you wish would happen if..." , "What do you think would happen if…" , "What would you do…" , "How could we…" , along with "Why do you think…." If your youngster seems uninterested in answering your questions at first, don't panic. Additionally, don't go on to another one too soon or hurry them to respond. Allowing your youngster to speak at their own pace demonstrates your genuine interest in their thoughts and opinions rather than just making automatic inquiries.

When it comes to parenting, there is no magic formula. Nor is parenting a one-size-fits-all because all children are different and personalities vary. Yet, every child in our home is a unique gift that God has entrusted to us to raise up and train for a season. Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (ESV) But how? Today we are diving into the messy process of faith and identity formation in children. As parents, our role is crucial in helping our children understand who God is and who they are in Him.

One of the most important doctrines of the Christian faith is that of the Trinity. The subject of the Trinity is holy ground because it pertains to the nature of the one true God. So we approach the subject with all humility and reverence. But, if you feel a little baffled by the Trinity, join the crowd. History's greatest minds have stood in amazement before a God so great that our explanations cannot contain Him. However, God desires for us to know Him and He has chosen to reveal Himself, His nature, to us through the Trinity. * * * LET'S BE FRIENDS!  HOST: Sarah Turner - Facebook GUEST: Michael Smith - Facebook  * * *  Beltway Park Church: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube Beltway Park Church * * *  SHOW NOTES: Healing the Orphan Spirit
