Let's be honest... occasionally, the Bible can cover some topics that may seem a tad bit "mature" for young children.  Whether it's the bridal price for Michal, the colorful language of Ezekiel, or God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son, sometimes reading through Scripture with your children can be tough.

Dr. Dan Passerelli to discuss what it looks like to tackle the difficult passages of Scripture with your children in mind.   Want to learn more about connecting at Chapelgate?

Our world is obsessed with picking a side; especially when it comes to church.  Does God want churches to be missional or deep?

Marriage is supposed to the safest relationship on the face of the earth. At best, we are known and deeply loved while knowing and deeply loving our spouse. But with this level of intimacy comes a dramatically increased degree of pain when trust is broken. How do we heal when we've been hurt? How do we begin to repair a marriage that we damaged? Join me as I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Jeff McMullen, pastor at Chapelgate and Director of the Life Counseling Center, and discuss the ways in which the Gospel of Jesus Christ, actually provides real answers to our real-life marital issues.

O night, O holy night, O night divine. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming; With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand: So, led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here come the wise men from Orient land, The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend; Chorus He knows our need, To our weakness no stranger! Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend! Behold your King! your King! before him bend! Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is Love and His gospel is Peace; Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, And in his name all oppression shall cease, Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we; Let all within us praise his Holy name! Chorus Christ is the Lord, then ever! ever praise we! His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim! His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!

We've all seen it. A couple gets their youngest child through college (or high school) and files for divorce three days later. What happened? How could people who have been married for so long split ways like that? Sometimes, what starts out as a marriage between two people transitions into a "child-rearing partnership" between two parents.  In other words: parenting takes priority over marriage.  When that happens, no one wins. While it's true that having kids can be very consuming, there's still hope for our marriages! Join me as I sit down with Steve and Cathy Dallwig and ask them how they managed to have a healthy marriage of 32 years while raising 4 kids of their own in the Season 1 finale of In The Fire! Want to breathe some life into your marriage? Don't forget to sign up for Dads On Duty and give your wife a chance to unwind without the kids while hanging with other great Dads.  Fall 2022 dates: September 10, October 29, and December 3 from 4pm-6pm at Chapelgate Presbyterian Church.    For further study, please check out the following resource(s): Paul Tripp - Marriage Crated With Love Date Box Subscription Marriage Counseling  Want to learn more about connecting at Chapelgate?

As a Financial Coach, one of the things I always remind people is this: money is a blessing from God, but as sinners, we are really good at turning blessings into problems.  This is especially true when it comes to marriage. With money being one of the most common causes of divorce, it's really important to make sure we keep money in its rightful place in our lives and our hearts. Two of the ways we can do this: 1) Deepening our understanding of what it means to be a biblical steward by keeping money in its right place. (This is where repentance comes in... lots and lots of repentance! But don't worry, there's even more grace in our Savior!) 2) Learning how to communicate and plan with our spouse.  (Again, repentance... and again, even more grace!)

Discipline can be one of the most complicated aspects to parenting children. After all, none of us really enjoy being disciplined ourselves, so why would we put our children through it? Join me as I sit down with Frick and Amy Frierson, and their daughter Lydia Radcliffe, as we discuss some of the benefits of growing up in a home where biblical discipline was practiced.  I got WAY MORE than I bargained for with this interview and I hope it is as much a blessing to you as it was to me.   Frick's 5 P's 1.

One of the most beautiful ways that God reveals himself to us is through the love and care of our friends. In this interview, I sit down with Jordan Woodrick and Ellen Berridge to discuss what that has looked like in the life of their young families.

Parenting is one of the most impactful things we will ever do, but it can be downright terrifying at times. How do we teach our children about God and the Bible, sin and salvation, and all the other things that go along with them? I sit down with Abby Pope, Director of Children's Ministry at Chapelgate, to discuss what it means to fulfill our promise to "raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" and to lay out a practical game plan for how to do it!   For further study, please check out the following resource(s): New City Catechism for Kids https://www.amazon.com/New-City-Catechism-Kids-Curriculum/dp/1433561298/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=new+city+catechism+for+kids&qid=1658171840&sprefix=new+city+cate%2Caps%2C67&sr=8-1 Jesus Storybook Bible https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Storybook-Bible-Every-Whispers/dp/0310708257/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=jesus+storybook+bible&qid=1658171874&sprefix=Jesus+Story%2Caps%2C64&sr=8-1 A Sample Prayer Guide for Kids: "Dear God, 1.

"Go and make disciples of all nations..." (Mt. 28:19).  It's a straightforward command, but we often feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the thought of sharing our faith with others.  I sit down with Dan Passerelli, President of Metro Baltimore Seminary, to discuss what it looks like for young families to be a source of hope to our neighbors and coworkers.   For further study, please check out the following resource(s): Preaching - Tim Keller https://www.amazon.com/Preaching-Communicating-Faith-Age-Skepticism-ebook/dp/B00OQSF8QS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=preaching+tim+keller&qid=1658170780&sprefix=preaching+tim+%2Caps%2C59&sr=8-1 Tactics - Gregory Koukl https://www.amazon.com/Tactics-10th-Anniversary-Discussing-Convictions-ebook/dp/B07PSDYQRN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BF6WHYVI00AD&keywords=tactics&qid=1658171031&sprefix=tactics%2Caps%2C66&sr=8-1 Metro Baltimore seminary https://www.metrobaltimoreseminary.org/   Want to learn more about connecting at Chapelgate?

One of the more difficult lines to walk is the one that occurs between your parents, in-laws, and your spouse. The Bible says that, in marriage, a man "leaves his father and mother and holds fast to his wife" (Genesis 2:24) but that's often times easier said than done. I sit down with Mike Khandjian, Head Pastor at Chapelgate, to discuss what this looks like practically.   For further study, please check out the following resource(s): Marriage - Paul David Tripp https://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Gospel-Commitments-Every-Couple/dp/1433573105/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=what+did+you+expect+paul+tripp&qid=1658170498&sprefix=what+did+you+exp%2Caps%2C62&sr=8-2 The Meaning of Marriage - Timothy Keller https://www.amazon.com/The-Meaning-of-Marriage-audiobook/dp/B0067MFBOK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+meaning+of+marriage+tim+keller&qid=1658170528&sprefix=the+meaning+of+ma%2Caps%2C63&sr=8-1   Want to learn more about connecting at Chapelgate?
