What does it take to raise children who genuinely love Jesus—even when life is busy and demanding?   In this episode of Father On Purpose, Kent Evans and Lawson Brown sit down with U.S. Congressman Josh Brecheen to talk about biblical fatherhood, family discipleship, identity in Christ, and why no career is more important than leading your family well.   Growing up on an Oklahoma ranch, Josh learned firsthand what it meant to work hard, honor God's Word, and build a lasting family legacy. Today, despite the demands of serving in Congress, he still prioritizes daily Bible study with his children, Scripture memory, and intentional conversations that point them to Christ.   In this conversation you'll learn: • Why discipling your kids can't be outsourced to the church • How busy dads can still make meaningful time for their children • The importance of building your identity in Christ instead of your career • Practical ways to establish family Bible study and Scripture memory • Why your greatest legacy will never be your job—but your family • What Josh wishes he had done differently as a father   Whether you're raising toddlers or teenagers, this episode offers practical encouragement and biblical wisdom to help you become the intentional dad God has called you to be.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.  

Dave Kiehn talks with John Whiteaker about youth ministry in the local church, including some of the challenges for youth ministry, integrating youth into the life of the church, teaching the Bible to youth, and more.

She also emphasizes the importance of being grounded in Scripture so that faith conversations can happen naturally and biblically.Key Topics CoveredWhy grandparents are uniquely positioned to disciple their grandchildrenHow prayer creates the foundation for spiritual influenceWhy grandparents do not need to have every answer before beginningThe importance of learning Scripture together with grandchildrenPrayer prompts for grandchildren's faith, character, friendships, purpose, courage, discernment, and protectionOrganic discipleship through everyday conversationsStructured discipleship through traditions, prayer, Scripture, and intentional activitiesTeaching children that they are created in the image of GodHelping grandchildren see God as Creator through creation and daily lifeThe difference between evangelism and discipleshipWhy discipleship has lasting generational impactFeatured GuestLori WildenbergAuthor of Grandparents Make GrandpartnersWebsite: LoriWildenberg.comScripture References MentionedJohn 6:291 Peter 2:1–3Exodus 20:12Proverbs 13:20Ephesians 2:10Galatians 5:22–23John 10:27Philippians 1:9–101 Corinthians 16:132 Thessalonians 3:3Colossians 3:23–242 Corinthians 8:21Ephesians 1Memorable Quotes / Takeaways“Disciple basically means to train.”“You can both be disciples.

Younger men have always been a challenge to reach, but today's realities make it even more urgent. Economic pressures, mental health struggles, shifting family dynamics, and identity questions are leaving many men in their 20s and 30s searching for meaning. The good news? They are spiritually curious, hungry for truth, and increasingly turning to the church for hope. Is your church ready for that golden moment—when a young man walks through the doors seeking answers? How can you meet his need for identity, purpose, and authentic community in a way that leads him to Christ? In this session, we'll share the latest research on the struggles and spiritual openness of young men today. Attendees will receive the State of Young Men in America report and gain practical insights on how to activate the people and resources already in their church to engage and disciple the next generation effectively.

Discipling your kids at home can feel like one more thing you're not doing well enough—but what if the bar is lower, and the support is closer, than you think? Bethany sits down with her longtime friend Lauren, a homeschooling mom of four, to talk honestly about what spiritual discipleship actually looks like in a full, messy, real household. From songs at bedtime to five-minute morning routines to the moment a scripture your kid learned at church shows up exactly when you needed it—this conversation will leave you less overwhelmed and more equipped than when you started.   Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.

What would it take for disciple-making to not just be something your church does, but something embedded in its very culture? There are four key essentials: 1) Getting everyday people in the game, 2) Reaching fourth-generation and beyond, 3) Discipling both believers and those still searching, and 4) Expanding disciple-making beyond your local corner. In this lunch session, we'll unpack how these principles can move from theory to reality—proving that a thriving, multiplying disciple-making culture isn't just possible, it's within reach.   Stay informed - Get our newsletter:  http://eepurl.com/hPViAr Get Discipleship.org's premium Podcast Feed: https://disciplemakerspodcast.supercast.com/  Check out the following eBooks from Discipleship.org: -- What Is Church?

Bill Nienhuis, President of Childcare Worldwide, joins Rodney Olsen for a conversation about what it really means to make disciples, not just decisions. Drawing on his own formation as a young believer shaped by Sunday school teachers, choir directors, and a Bible-reading grandmother, Bill reflects on how God used decades of seemingly unrelated experience, including 25 years in the Bible software industry, to prepare him for his true life's work amongst children in Kenya, Uganda, Peru, and India. Through Childcare Worldwide's Life Center model, local churches come alongside children for up to ten years, planting seeds of the gospel and trusting the Holy Spirit to bring the harvest in His own time.   Bill shares the moving story of Diana, a withdrawn girl from an abusive home whose encounter with a caring Life Center teacher eventually led her entire family to faith and baptism. He also challenges listeners to rethink their role in the Great Commission, not as something that requires expertise or overseas travel, but as a daily posture of availability to God. Whether through prayer, relationship, or resourcing organisations like Childcare Worldwide, Bill believes every believer has a part to play in the worldwide work of making disciples.   WEBLINKS Childcare Worldwide Childcare Worldwide on Facebook Childcare Worldwide on Instagram

What is God leading you to uniquely do in the discipleship of Him? In this episode, Jeff and Steve discuss:  Developing leaders and allowing God to sow the seeds for what will happen later.  Creating IBAM and the Tiger Medical Institute. Keeping the gospel as the core, no matter the tool of your business.  Realigning with the Kingdom Path.    Key Takeaways:  The outside of something can look fantastic, but the inside may be crumbling. Don't just take what you see at face value.  Discipling is a commitment to walk with Jesus, not just speaking the right words. He calls for us to abide with Him.  Abiding with Jesus does not require a grandiose plan. It requires walking with Him in His way.  There is nothing secular in your life. Every decision and every action you take is sacred.    "If you want to disciple others, you've got to be a disciple yourself." —  Steve Adams   Episode References:  Practicing The Way by John Mark Comer With by Skye Jethani At Work As In Heaven by Scott Ryser Jordan Raynor Books: https://www.jordanraynor.com/books Get Free Access to Third Fish Academy: https://www.thirdfish.org/   About Steve Adams: Steve Adams is the Founder and CEO of IBAM (International Business As Mission), a global movement equipping Christian entrepreneurs to launch redemptive businesses that fuel church planting, disciple-making, and sustainable poverty alleviation. After leaving a successful corporate banking career at God's urging, Steve built a company to $100M in revenue — then redirected that operating discipline toward Kingdom impact. A 2004 mission trip to Bangkok ignited a calling that would reshape his life. Over the next decade, Steve helped plant 30 churches and witnessed 1,500 new believers come to Christ. But something was missing. As a businessman, he couldn't see himself working as a traditional missionary in a way that used his particular strengths. A business-driven mission trip to Russia in 2007 changed everything — training local believers to start sustainable businesses as platforms for discipleship showed him the power of entrepreneurship as a mission. In 2014, Steve launched IBAM and built the Three Fish Model: Give a Fish (startup loans), Teach to Fish (biblical entrepreneur training), and Equip for Discipleship. Today, IBAM operates across multiple countries in Africa, Asia, and Central Asia, with indigenous master trainers replicating the model locally. Biblical business training has raised loan repayment rates from roughly 40% to over 90%, proving that every dollar creates a flywheel — not a one-time handout. Steve also hosts the IBAM Biblical Entrepreneurship Show, a weekly podcast inspiring faith-driven entrepreneurs worldwide. His long-term vision: a business-as-mission practitioner in every village and one million entrepreneurs discipling nations through business.

The Perrys are joined by Melissa and Mike Kruger to discuss their new book “The Good News Family Devotional: 52 Weeks Through the Gospel of Mark.” Mark is fast-paced and story-centric, which makes it an ideal book to study alongside your kids. The Kruegers and Perrys discuss navigating discipleship with kids in different stages, helping children move beyond surface-level observation questions, and seeing family devotionals as just one part of a broader culture of discipleship in the home. Melissa and Mike encourage parents – especially those without a model from their own upbringing – to pursue family discipleship imperfectly but diligently.

In this episode of Arthur's Bible Study/Reflection, we continue our discipleship series by exploring one of the most important spiritual questions Christians face today: What is discipling us? Using Leviticus 26:1–5, Matthew 6:24, Acts 17, and Jesus' teaching about abiding in Him, we examine how modern idols often disguise themselves as good things that slowly capture our attention, affection, and trust more than God. Drawing from insights by Timothy Keller and the NALC Life-to-Life Discipleship emphasis, this episode reflects on distraction, divided loyalties, spiritual formation, and why daily immersion in God's Word is essential for following Christ in today's world.

Lying, anger, laziness, lust — family is a beautiful opportunity for gospel life! The panel discusses how to remain hopeful even when kids keep committing the same sins…how to confront and disciple them after the 76th time they're caught…what to expect in terms of breakthroughs…how much mom should deal with ongoing sin…and the place of guilt, shame, and the gospel.

You often hear that we live by the stories we tell about our lives and the lives of others. But how does that actually work? It works through our imaginations, that part of the mind that allows us to see what's deeper, that ‘something more' of experience, that reality bigger than the world. Dr. Justin Bailey joins the show to talk about how the imagination dwells at the heart of discipleship and spiritual formation, how it helps us go deeper than just believing and behaving, and how we can grow it. You can connect more with Dr. Bailey at his website and his Substack. Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.Join the Embodied Faith community to stay connected and get posts, episodes, & resources.Support the podcast with a one-time or regular gift (to keep this ad-free without breaking the Holsclaw's bank).

He outlines three responses: prioritizing deep, sustained theological formation; using trusted discipleship resources like the 775-page Real Life Theology project; and building a strong theological tribe to support and sustain disciple-making in local churches.

We're back with Part 2 of our spicy Q&A, and wow… this one takes us everywhere—from influencer culture to church hurt to godparents and discipleship. We get real about the tension of social media and faith, the beauty (and struggle) of staying rooted in a local church, and what it actually looks like to walk alongside someone who's new to following Jesus. We also share some of our personal stories—like navigating seasons of apathy, finding the right church home, and even the deeper conversations around raising kids and choosing godparents. This episode is honest, a little funny, and full of heart. Our prayer is that it reminds you that following Jesus isn't about having all the answers—it's about staying connected, staying humble, and staying in community.

In this final episode of our four-part series, Dave and Dante tackle the "Great Release"—the pivotal transition from parenting by authority to leading through influence as your children enter young adulthood. Grounded in the joy of 3 John 1:4, we explore how to stay spiritually connected without becoming controlling, providing a roadmap for fathers whose children are navigating college, careers, or even seasons of doubt and deconstruction. Whether you're learning to trust the foundation you've built or figuring out how to be a "safe harbor" during their recalibration, this episode challenges you to stop trying to control the outcome and start trusting the God who brings the growth. It's time to move from holding the bow to watching the arrow fly, confident that your legacy is anchored in faithfulness rather than perfection. Key Takeaways: The Role Shift: Transitioning from daily control to foundational investment and coaching. Staying Connected: Practical ways to maintain a spiritual bond without being intrusive. Handling Doubt: How to remain a "safe harbor" if your child deconstructs or walks away from their faith. Trusting the Growth: Remembering that you planted the seeds, but God brings the increase.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant tackles one of the biggest questions shaping our moment: who is discipling the culture? From defining cultural Marxism to unpacking John Ashcroft's framework of stigma and affirmation, Alex breaks down how society shapes behavior through what it rewards and what it condemns. He also explores how labels, identity, and intersectionality are changing the conversation, and why the growing tendency to judge entire groups instead of individuals is reshaping truth, character, and culture in real time. This is a bold, thought-provoking conversation about the forces shaping the way we see it. #TWWSI, #Culture, #Leadership, #CulturalMarxism, #JohnAshcroft, #ErwinLutzer, #StigmaAndAffirmation, #Intersectionality, #PastorAlexBryant, #TheWayWeSeeIt Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Hey fam, we are back this week with a conversation that I think so many parents need.A major part of my life is being a mom, and in this episode I wanted to slow down and talk about what it really means to raise children in a home where God is not just a topic we bring up when life goes wrong, but the theme of the home itself.So often, parenting can become focused on behavior, structure, and getting through the day. But as believers, we are called to more than just raising well-behaved kids. We are called to make disciples in our homes. In this episode, I talk about what it looks like to build a daily cadence of discipleship with your children through prayer, scripture, devotionals, honest conversations, and simply making the Lord part of everyday life.This episode is for the parent who feels the weight of responsibility, the mom who wants to lead her children well, the dad who wants to build a Christ-centered home, and anyone wondering how to take simple but faithful steps toward discipling the children God has entrusted to them.I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a faithful one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
