The Gather Grow Go Podcast

For the final episode of season two, we asked you guys what questions you wanted answered and what topics you wanted us to talk about. We were able to answer a couple of those questions in this episode, and we look forward covering the rest in season three!

Episode 9 is all about prayer! Like reading the Bible (as we discussed last week), there are many different methods and purposes of prayer. Will you make it a point to find the way that works best for you, do it consistently, and share that with your kids?

Welcome back! In this episode, we're talking about the Bible---reading it consistently, in different ways, and for different reasons. As parents, if you want your kids to know that reading the Bible matters, they need to see you reading your Bible. If it's going to matter to them, they need to see that it matters to you. And then they also need you to share the Bible with them. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give your child in helping them develop their faith!

In this week's episode, we're talking about the church! What does it mean for us to be the church? And how can we, as the church, make sure that we're doing no harm, doing good, and staying in love with God?

This week, we're talking about perhaps the most forgotten and overlooked part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Can you identify a time in your life when the Holy Spirit was present and at work? We encourage you to take some time out of your day to share that moment with your kids!

In this week's episode, we talk about what it means when we say that Jesus us our Lord AND our Savior. How does Jesus save? What does He save us from? And what Jesus are we teaching to our kids?

Welcome back for season two, episode four of The 3 Rule Parenting Podcast! In this episode, led by Reverend Kevin, we revisit the topic of generational trauma. Think about your own parents and some ways they have missed the mark, and think about ways you might've done the same in the past. Can we aim to do a little better, always trying to move closer to that mark?

In episode three, we'll discuss different views on the nature of humanity and delve into Martin Buber's ideas of I-It versus I-Thou relationships. How do you view -- and therefore, treat -- the people around you? And are your children picking up on those attitudes and behaviors?

In episode two, Reverend Bill leads a discussion about how your image of God can affect how you view your role as a parent, drawing from George Lakoff's ideas of the Strict Father vs Nurturing Parent. Are you taking your understanding of parenting and projecting that onto God, or are you taking your understanding of God and applying that to your parenting?

We're back for season two of The 3 Rule Parenting Podcast! Join us in episode one as Reverends Melissa, Bill, and Kevin give us a glimpse into what's to come this season!

Pastor Melissa, Rev. Bill, and Rev. Kev wrap up season one of The 3 Rule Parenting Podcast with a conversation about grace.

Join us in episode nine as we talk about practicing your faith and finding community in the church. We'd like to encourage you to get involved at church and encourage your kids to do the same!

In episode 8, Reverend Bill leads a discussion on Shalom -- what it is, why we need it, and how we can cultivate it in our lives and in the lives of our children.

In episode 7, we talk about Original ("OG") Sin as it relates to generational trauma.

Let's talk about how important it is not just to believe in Jesus, but to actively follow the way of Jesus, and especially how important it is to model that behavior for our kids.

In episode 5, we continue our conversation about sin.

Join us in episode four of The 3 Rule Parenting Podcast as we begin a discussion about three different categories of sin.

In this episode, we discuss the third and final rule: keeping the ordinances of God. Reverend Kevin leads a conversation about the importance of modeling spiritual practices for your children and how that can help the whole family stay in love with God.

Welcome back! In episode 2, we're talking about how we as parents can use the second of John Wesley's 3 General Rules, which is to do good, to help guide and disciple our children.

Welcome to the first episode of The 3 Rule Parenting Podcast, where we have conversations about parenting with grace and how to better disciple our own children. This week we're discussing the first of the 3 General Rules, which is to do no harm, and how we can apply that to our parenting.
