In Part 2 of this series, Samuel Goulet continues the conversation on yokes by exploring how chains, cycles, and unhealthy patterns are broken through full surrender to Jesus. He teaches that the fruit of our lives reveals what we are submitted to, challenging listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and pursue true heart transformation through obedience, prayer, and fasting. With practical insight into how habits are formed and renewed, Samuel encourages believers to exchange control for trust, cry out to God for breakthrough, and allow Him to reshape their minds, families, and daily lives.

Family Series Finale: The Blessing of Obedience In this message, we explore God's design for children still under their parents' authority—and the surprising blessing that comes with obedience. Key takeaways: 1. You're not a mistake. God sovereignly placed you in your family (Psalm 139). 2. Obedience is rooted in your relationship with God, not your parents' perfection. 3. Authority has limits—but within those limits, obeying your parents is obeying God. 4. Honor is lifelong, even after you leave home. 5. Obedience brings blessing—not always ease, but divine favor and peace. Whether your parents are godly or flawed, trusting God's plan for your family leads to joy and growth.
This sermon from Legacy Baptist Church explores the biblical definition of fatherhood, focusing on four key attributes drawn from God's example as our Heavenly Father: discipline (teaching children to become mature, functional adults), correction (lovingly guiding children toward repentance and right alignment with authority), provision (prioritizing what is good for children over oneself), and protection (guarding children's hearts and bodies until they are strong enough to stand on their own). The message challenges fathers to grow personally in virtue and responsibility, so they can faithfully pass these qualities to the next generation.
We come to mothers within our family series, considering the heavy call upon them to give their lives for their children.
This is Week 1 of our new series, A Better Way To Lead At Home.Families don't usually fall apart in one dramatic moment. More often, they drift through small habits we keep tolerating until they feel normal, then we wake up years later asking, “How did we get here?” We're kicking off our Family Series by naming that hidden force the Bible calls iniquity: the bent patterns that shape a home, repeat over time, and quietly get passed down to the next generation. We dig into God's design for family unity and why unity is more than everyone agreeing or avoiding conflict. Unity takes intentional work, shared direction, and a stronger center than personal preference. We also talk honestly about why families end up divided: pain that isn't healed, conflict we don't know how to handle, and a culture that trains us to judge relationships by “are my needs being met?” Then we expose the slow strategy of separation that taps a wedge into marriages, parent-child relationships, extended families, and even church community.
Family is the foundation of society, and the foundation of the church, by God's design. We talk about that design as we step from the topic of marriage into the topic of family this week.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. When we understand what this implies, it will change how we are as husbands.
Today we speak to wives as we continue to consider marriage as the foundation for a healthy family
Marriage is not about you, its about God. God's design, God's intent, God's will.

Welcome to Episode 2 of David Schaub's Family Series: a four-part solo run that gets honest about what it really looks like to build a business as a husband and father.No guests. No surface-level talk. Just the real tension most owners feel… and rarely say out loud.This episode hits a truth that stings:You can be physically home… and still completely gone.Growth isn't bad.But undefined growth is dangerous—especially when it slowly steals your patience, your presence, and your peace.In this episode, you'll learn:Why chasing “more” quietly costs patience and presenceThe guilt loop many business owners live inWhy thin profit margins create thick tension at homeWhat you must delegate, even if it costs moneyWhy sleep is a leadership strategy, not a luxuryHow to define “enough” before ambition defines youIf you feel like you're showing up at home but not truly there, this episode will confront you in the right way and help you reset.
In this special episode, Jason begins what he calls the "Family Series" stories he hopes will matter not just to the construction industry, but to his own family one day. What started as a frustrated 13-year-old clearing out two and a half acres in the California high desert became the foundation for a lifelong obsession with cleanliness, organization, discipline, and 5S. From grading sand berms and restacking materials to organizing concrete trucks, wiring irrigation pivots in Texas, and eventually embracing lean principles, Jason connects the dots between childhood experience and professional success. What you'll learn in this episode: How a teenage decision shaped a career. The emotional roots of discipline and hard work. Why cleanliness and organization drive performance. Lessons from Japan, Germany, and lean thinking. How 3S and 5S impact mental health and leadership. The hidden connection between approval, work ethic, and growth. This isn't just about cleaning a yard. It's about identity, discipline, and building something that lasts.

“Because You say so, Lord,” This final message of a 4 part series in Marriage and Family, calls for believers to stop settling for less than God's best and to take personal responsibility before the Lord—regardless of a spouse's response. We learn why obedience is essential to experiencing God's blessing in marriage and family.
Marriage should be Pure, Selfless and Passionate. In this message, we look at what Scripture says about honoring the marriage relationship, keeping it centered on Christ, and building a love that reflects His heart. Through this study, we are encouraged to pursue a marriage that is pure, selfless, and passionate—just as God intended.
Marriage is more than a partnership—it is a living picture of Christ and His church, and when we walk in these roles, we place our homes under the spout where God's blessings flow. Jesus is Lord, and obedience to Him is the measure of our faith.
Whether you're married, single, engaged, widowed or preparing for the future, this message will encourage you to see marriage through God's eyes, not the culture's.
