Send us a textAbortion: Let's Not BURY The Lead: We are going to jump right to the defining verse on the life of a child and what happens if a child is killed and harmed in the womb. #Abortion #Prolife #ProchoiceExodus 21:22-25  “If men fight and hit a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no serious injury, he will surely be punished in accordance with what the woman's husband demands of him, and he will pay what the court decides.  (23)  But if there is serious injury, then you will give a life for a life,  (24)  eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,  (25)  burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.”In this verse, we find that a child is viewed as a life and that the child has legal rights for their protection. That whatever harm was done to the child, God declared the same should happen to the perpetrator. This is so simple and straightforward that it would take giant leaps away from commonsense to say otherwise. God values children as people in and outside of the womb. So, let's prove it further. And a side note: All if this information applies to you also. Think not just of the yet to be born, but yourself, and remember you to once were in the womb and protected from death!Procreation (PRO – CREATION) Having babies and filling the earth was one of God's first commands to His children.  In our Bible Study on “Biblical Parenting”, which can be found on our website: Brotherlance.com, we covered the following:Watch The Videohttps://youtu.be/ElyeIT5LC78Websitehttps://brotherlance.com/sex-lies-murder-the-series/New IntroSupport the showBecome A SupporterJOIN US!> Main Website: https://brotherlance.com/> Free Book: http://weshallbelikehim.com/> Free Music: https://brotherlance.com/brother-lance-music/> Social - Gab: https://gab.com/BrotherLance

Parents are urged to parent with love, faith, and discipline, allowing children to grow and mature while reflecting God's love and delight. He discusses effective discipline methods, emphasizing the need for consistency, firmness, and cheerfulness in a joyful home environment. The ultimate goal is for parents to seek the hearts of their children, reflecting God's love and leading them to give their hearts to Him.

Confession time today Mama. We all get it wrong sometime with this biblical parenting thing, and I had a revelation where I realised I was getting it wrong in a big way. Basically, what was important to me in parenting (pointing my kids to Jesus) was not being reflected in my schedule and I discovered that I had a habit that was hindering me.  Listen in on the habit I had that hindered me in my biblical parenting, and how I am changing things up.

Biblical Parenting and the importance of using God's word in the family.

Marriage strength largely determines the strength of your family and your ability to influence and lead your children. Isaac and Angie give four things you can do today and onward to tend to the heart of your marriage. If you do these four tips for the next thirty days you will dramatically improve the strength of your relationship and ability to work as a team too. Don't let communication breakdown slowly over time in your marriage. If it's not proactively worked on that's exactly what happens. We are living in unprecedented times and it's more important than ever to be proactive in strengthening your team. The world won't get easier, but your marriage team can always get better. Take on this as a marriage challenge for the next thirty days, perhaps listen with your spouse too and do it together. All show notes, scripture references, and resources mentioned are found at courageousparenting.com.

If you want a more peaceful home don't take the normal parenting short-term approach. Correcting your children's behavior is important and it's vital to be consistent, but if you don't tend to their hearts while doing so, it will lead to frustration over time. It also misses an important opportunity for getting to the heart level of the issue with your children that should end by pointing them to Jesus. A biblically based approach to correcting your children. Remember, if you don't have their heart in this season, you will likely lose it in the next. Just think about it, most Christian parents don't have their children's hearts in a strong enough way in today's society, but it's essential. All show notes, scripture references, and resources mentioned are found at courageousparenting.com.

We all must ask this question and be willing to be honest about it. With about 80% of the children raised in Christian homes leaving the church by age 18, we must do things differently than most Christian parents. So who is spiritually leading your family? As parents, I hope we all would want to say “We are”, but the truth is most aren't. Not with the intentionality and frequency the bible talks about in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. While a church's influence is good and needed, if that's where they get most of their Spiritual nourishment, then parents are failing in this area. Isaac and Angie Tolpin dive into what the Bible says about gender roles in the family and the importance of both mom and dad having influence while respecting God's plan for the family. They even go into what if your husband isn't a Christian, and direction for single moms and dads too.

We give four tips to helping Christian parents with this universal challenge of having to handle disrespect. Whether it's a rolling of the eyes, not following through, leaving messes, or blatant defiance it's probably safe to say all parents have experienced these things. The good news is you have massive influence and so does your spouse towards influencing change in this area. One of the biggest challenges though is when spouses disrespect each other in front of their children, and sometimes even sarcasm can confuse children in how to relate with you. Get four practical things you can do to make a difference. All show notes, scripture references, and resources mentioned are found at courageousparenting.com.

If your marriage isn't unified on parenting, your family will struggle or worse. Unfortunately, most houses fall in one way or another. Sometimes it's a big tragedy, but often it's a small slow division that grows over a long period of time amongst good people who are married. Isaac and Angie Tolpin give biblically sound advice in four areas that most Christian marriages have some level of struggle with. Tune in to see where your marriage is at with these four areas and get the encouragement you need. Your marriage team makes a profound impact on generations to come. Use this episode to identify where work needs to be done and do the hard work it takes to be a stronger unified team in marriage.

There is an attack on the food supply that aligns with some of the nefarious goals of powerful people and organizations. It's not a lack of trust in the Lord to take action when there are pending challenges coming, it's wisdom. Regardless of your situation, there are things you can do. Isaac and Angie Tolpin talk about simple steps toward preserving the quality of your family's food supply regardless of the growing corruption of food. We live in a world where there are valid concerns parents should think about with lab-grown meat that has been approved in the US, GMOs, and of course the dangers of the future meat supply. We can't get caught off-guard but instead, do what we can do now. We believe it's essential for children to grow up learning how to supply their own families in the future with safe food too.
