In this special Father's Day episode, guest speaker Jeff Stemple delivers a powerful message at Flipside Church, wrapping up a series on 1 Timothy 6. Reflecting on his own experience as a father, Jeff shares a humorous yet poignant story about being called out by his daughter for his "addiction to productivity," sparking a deeper exploration of contentment. Drawing from Paul's letter to Timothy, Jeff addresses the dangers of discontentment—how it distorts the past, ruins the present, and robs the future. He challenges listeners to pursue godliness with contentment, offering practical steps like giving thanks and tithing to break cycles of unrest. With passion and relatability, Jeff encourages everyone to guard their faith, embrace gratitude, and live content in the life God has called them to.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

NEW PATH WORSHIP - New Album Out Now Spirit-Led, Not Self-DrivenLetting go of control and following the Spirit's leadEpisode Title:Spirit-Led, Not Self-Driven - Letting go of control and following the Spirit's leadWhy This Series Now?:What if the biggest obstacle to God's direction in your life… is your need to control it? In this powerful episode, we talk about what it means to be Spirit-led—not self-driven. From your calendar to your calling, God wants access to it all. But too often, we white-knuckle our way through life, driven by pressure, pride, or fear. The Spirit offers a better way—a path of peace, presence, and purpose. Learn how to release control, tune into the Spirit's voice, and walk in step with God's plan, even when it challenges your own.Key Verse: Galatians 5:25 – “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”Epsiodes In The Series:6/13 - Flesh vs. Spirit: Who's Really In Control?6/20 - Discerning God's Voice6/27 - Surrendering The Timeline7/4 - Walking In Spiritual AuthorityFree 5-Day Bible Plan:It's called “Breaking Free from the Idol of Productivity”Each day is short, powerful, and Scripture-based—designed to help you walk in freedom and trust God again with your work.GET YOUR FREE DEVOTIONALTake time to think about this, pray about it, and take one small step in obedience.

This one's straight from the heart. In this episode, I get real about what it actually means to be a parent in today's world. We're talking about the sleepless nights, the moments we snap, the guilt we carry, and the love that drives it all. This isn't just for parents—it's for anyone who's ever been someone's child. And let's be honest... that's all of us. I open up about raising four daughters across two generations, how I've evolved as a father, and what I've learned (sometimes the hard way) about presence, emotional safety, and healing generational patterns. I'll share the moments I've failed, the moments I've grown, and what I pray my kids will remember about me. If you're struggling with your kids, with your own parents, or just trying to figure this whole thing out—this one's for you.

As parents, how do we raise our kids to be resilient against life's inevitable hardships? Good Inside author Dr. Becky Kennedy shares her insights here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1163What We Discuss with Dr. Becky Kennedy:Boundaries are what parents tell kids they will do — not what kids must do. "If you're not off the couch by the time I get there, I'll pick you up" works better than threats or punishments that require kid compliance.Optimizing for happiness in childhood creates fragility in adulthood. Kids who avoid hard feelings never learn they can handle disappointment, jealousy, or failure — leaving them with a narrow range of emotions they feel capable managing.Parents have two jobs: setting boundaries and validating emotions. These aren't opposites — they work together. Set the limit, then acknowledge their feelings: "You really wish you could keep jumping on the couch.""Do nothing" is often the best parenting strategy. It's mindful restraint — choosing not to react in the moment when kids are upset. This prevents escalation and models emotional regulation better than immediate correction.Build confidence by letting kids struggle through puzzles, conflicts, and challenges. Tell them: "The best feeling is when you think you can't do something, then watch yourself make progress." Struggle builds capability.And much more...And if you're game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
