Listeners of The Gather Grow Go Podcast that love the show mention:The Gather Grow Go Podcast is an incredible podcast that I absolutely love being a voice in. It provides a wonderful opportunity to share thoughts and perspectives that may not always make it into the sermon, but are fantastic to discuss in a conversational format. Melissa, Daniel, and Michael have created such a welcoming atmosphere that it genuinely feels like sitting right in the room with them.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the diverse range of perspectives that are brought to each topic. Melissa, Daniel, and Michael each offer their own unique insights, creating a well-rounded and multi-dimensional approach to exploring various subjects. It's incredibly refreshing to hear three individuals discuss the same topic from different angles, as it allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of different viewpoints.
Another great aspect of The Gather Grow Go Podcast is the engaging and relatable conversations that take place. The hosts have an amazing ability to make you feel like part of the discussion, as if you're sitting down with friends having a deep conversation. This conversational tone makes it easy to connect with the topics being discussed and enhances the overall listening experience.
While there aren't many downsides to this podcast, one aspect that could be improved upon is the frequency of episodes. As someone who thoroughly enjoys each episode, I often find myself eagerly waiting for new content. It would be even more captivating if episodes were released more frequently or on a consistent schedule.
In conclusion, The Gather Grow Go Podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone seeking thought-provoking conversations and diverse perspectives on faith-based topics. Melissa, Daniel, and Michael have done an outstanding job at creating an environment where listeners feel heard and included. Their unique perspectives coupled with their warm personalities make this podcast truly special. I cannot wait to hear more episodes and continue on this journey of gathering, growing, and going together!
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.

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.
