Practical Christian living with Pastor Nathan Trice.
The Resurrection Life podcast, hosted by Pastor Nathan Trice, is a welcome addition to the world of podcasts. Whether you agree with his viewpoints or not, it is evident that Pastor Trice is a careful, wise, biblical, and principled thinker. This sets him apart from other podcast hosts who may lack the depth of knowledge and experience that comes from years of pastoral ministry. In a time where anyone can start a podcast without proper credentials or testing, it is refreshing to listen to someone who has emerged from the riches of a quiet and faithful decades-long ministry.
One of the best aspects of The Resurrection Life podcast is the wealth of wisdom and experience that Pastor Trice brings to each episode. As a pastor who has served for many years, he has encountered numerous situations involving children, parenting, and the church. His insights into these topics are invaluable and provide listeners with practical advice and guidance. Furthermore, Pastor Trice's biblical perspective ensures that his discussions are grounded in solid theological principles. This makes for an engaging and thought-provoking listening experience.
Additionally, The Resurrection Life podcast benefits from the involvement of Pastor Trice's church session at Resurrection Presbyterian Church. Their decision to add his voice to this important conversation speaks volumes about the value they see in his teachings. It adds another layer of credibility to the podcast as it shows that Pastor Trice's perspectives have been thoroughly vetted by others within his church community. This collaborative approach enhances the overall quality and authenticity of the content.
However, like any podcast, there are some potential downsides to consider when listening to The Resurrection Life. One aspect that might be seen as a drawback is its exclusive focus on Christian beliefs and principles. While this may be appealing to devout Christians seeking guidance on matters related to faith and family life, it might alienate listeners from different religious backgrounds or those who hold different beliefs altogether. Additionally, some individuals may find the podcast's emphasis on biblical principles to be too rigid or inflexible for their taste. Therefore, it is important for potential listeners to be aware of this inherent bias in the content.
In conclusion, The Resurrection Life podcast is a valuable resource for those seeking thoughtful discussions and insights into children, parenting, and the church. Pastor Nathan Trice's careful, wise, biblical, and principled approach sets him apart from many other podcast hosts in this genre. His years of experience and involvement with his church session lend credibility to his teachings and provide a sense of trustworthiness. While the podcast's exclusive focus on Christian beliefs may not resonate with everyone, those who seek guidance within that framework will find great value in listening to The Resurrection Life. Overall, Pastor Trice's voice adds depth and nuance to an important conversation that is often plagued by overly simplistic or uninformed perspectives.

Is a formal Christian education the only faithful option for parents? What are we to think of the public school option in our day? In this week's episode Pastor Trice seeks to distinguish between principle and prudence, and to give helpful counsel on this important question.
Having outlined some of the unique advantages of a home school education, Pastor Trice now considers some of its potential liabilities. Christian parents who recognize the challenges inherent to home schooling, and who take steps to overcome them, are those whose children flourish best in a home school.
Christian parenting aims higher than just getting our kids to heaven. We also seek to equip them to take their place with us in advancing the kingdom of God on earth. This entails providing our children with a good education. In today's episode Pastor Trice reviews some of the ways the home-schooling model is an asset to the biblical objectives of Christian parents. Podcasts can be accessed at RPCmatthews.org, under "Resources."
Nothing is more central to Christian parenting than leading our children into their own participation in the life of the local church. But "parenting in the pew" comes with its challenges, especially in our children's early years! In today's episode Pastor Trice reminds us why including our children in congregational worship is worth all the effort, but he also gives practical advice concerning what is necessary for parents to do so in a wise and responsible way.
As valuable as those unplanned "teaching moments" are in the life of a Christian family, they are not enough to rely on for the long-term instruction of our children. In today's episode, Pastor Trice points to that biblical, time-tested spiritual discipline that contributes more than anything else to the peace and unity of our homes, and to the faithful instruction of our children in the faith.
God calls his people to bring their children up in the instruction of the Lord, but many parents don't feel qualified to be teachers, and some are even unsure of how to talk to their kids. In today's episode Pastor Trice focuses on the kind of instruction that grows up naturally in a culture of conversation in the home. This is the kind of teaching spoken of by Moses in a well-known parenting passage: "when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (Deuteronomy 6: 4-7).
Children need to grow up knowing, not only that they are loved, but also that they are not in charge. Yet there are subtle ways in which the devotion of parents can lead to an unhealthy centering of the home on the will of the children. In today's episode, Pastor Trice seeks to give examples of how this can happen, as well as some practical counsel about how to avoid it, for the sake of our children.
All Christians need to know that they are loved by God in two, wonderful ways. Especially parents need to know this, however, because their children need to be loved by them in the same two ways. In today's episode, Pastor Trice leads us in a meditation on God's love, both of devotion and delight, and how that guides us as parents in loving our children well.
If all God's people are going to end up one day in heaven, what's going to happen to Planet Earth? This question shows a fundamental misunderstanding of God's intentions for this world that he has made. In today's episode, Pastor Trice surveys four major themes of Scripture regarding the future of our world, all of which demonstrate that God's final redemption plan extends to the restoration of the whole cosmos.
As the saying goes: "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." This is true of Christians as well, despite their confidence that great blessing awaits them after death. In today's episode, Pastor Trice seeks to identify why there is something legitimately strange to us about being absent from our bodies and in heaven, and also what it is that should bring us unspeakable comfort - and courage! - from knowing what death will bring.
What exactly is this realm we call "heaven"? Where is it? And what is the relationship between heaven and earth? These are some of the questions Pastor Trice takes up in this week's episode. Along the way, the hope of "heaven on earth" will be seen to have a more biblical foundation that many think.
For as popular a subject as "heaven" is, there are many misconceptions of what the Bible actually teaches concerning our future state of bliss as Christians. In this week's episode Pastor Trice identifies some of the most common misunderstandings about heaven, and also points to their sources in pagan, gnostic, platonic, and even medieval scholastic thinking. All this with a view to restoring the biblical view of heaven, which turns out to be the most exciting one!
Jesus called his disciples to "seek first the kingdom of God" (Matt. 6:33). But what does a whole-life orientation toward advancing God's kingdom look like? How can Christians live with a "kingdom consciousness"? In this week's episode Pastor Trice considers how devotion to the ultimate goal of extending the reign of Christ "on earth, as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10) calls for a kind of "worldly saints." Podcasts can be accessed via the church website, RPCmatthews.org, under "Resources."

Jesus called his disciples to "seek first the kingdom of God" (Matt. 6:33). But what does a whole-life orientation toward advancing God's kingdom look like? How can Christians live with a "kingdom consciousness"? In this week's episode Pastor Trice considers how the choice and pursuit of our vocations should always be with the ultimate goal of extending the reign of Christ "on earth, as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10).

How can Christians live with a "kingdom consciousness"?

Having considered the sheer immensity of the calling of the Great Commission (global conquest), and the unlikely means given for its fulfillment (water and words), the question arises: What are the prospects for success in this mission? In this podcast Pastor Trice points out that the One who gives the Church this mission in the world is also the One who has promised to empower his disciples with his presence. With his marching orders, Jesus has also given a promise of victory in the gospel conquest of all the nations of earth.
When Jesus in the Great Commission calls for "teaching the nations," we are right to see in this a call to share the good news of salvation for sinners. But when Jesus focuses on teaching the nations "to observe all that I have commanded," we should also recognize that this is the ultimate goal of all missions and evangelism: to see people and nations become obedient to the Lordship of Christ. In this podcast, Pastor Trice reminds us of the part all of us can have in advancing the kingdom of Christ: if we will open our mouths on his behalf!
What is the role that baptism plays in the advancing of Christ's kingdom? Is it simply a sign of our loyalty to Christ as king? Or is it actually a means by which sinners are claimed by Christ, and whole nations are brought into subjection to his Lordship? In this podcast Pastor Trice demonstrates the powerful role that Christian baptism plays in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
What is the mission of the Church in the world? Is it merely to "hang on" and be faithful until Jesus returns? Is it to attempt to rescue as many neighbors and friends as possible from a perishing world? Or does Jesus give the Church a still more ambitious mission to fulfill? In this podcast Pastor Trice seeks to take seriously the true immensity of Jesus' calling in The Great Commission to "make disciples of all nations."
In Matthew's gospel, everything that is told about Jesus as the long-awaited King reaches its culmination in his final words, known as "The Great Commission." These words sum up all that the followers of Christ are both called and empowered to do in the advancement of his kingdom, in light of his victory over death and his authority over heaven and earth. In this week's podcast, Pastor Trice begins to unpack this all-important summary of the mission of the Church in our world.
The discipline of our children is a matter not only of deeds but also of words. In this week's episode, Pastor Trice considers the life-giving role that verbal discipline has in our children's lives, and also warns against the destructive counterfeits of it that can arise.
Parents who are seeking to carry out the biblical teaching on spanking encounter a host of practical and prudential questions. In this week's episode, Pastor Trice offers advice on some of the most common of those questions, particularly with first time parents in mind.
There is a world of difference between a biblical spanking and an abusive spanking. In this week's episode, Pastor Trice walks parents through the characteristics of the kind of spanking that does lasting good for our children. Then, in the second half of the podcast, Pastor Trice warns against the kind of spanking that truly constitutes a form of abuse of children.
In this episode Pastor Trice presents the biblical teaching on spanking as a method of parental discipline. Despite the modern day controversy over spanking, Pastor Trice demonstrates from Scripture that, rightly used, it is a vital means of grace in the lives of our children.
