It's summer time and here on Youth Culture Matters we're devoting our time to shorter episodes where we're talking about "Purposeful Parenting." We'll be addressing timely topics to encourage and equip you as parents to help your kids navigate their world in ways that bring honor and glory to God. Take a few minutes to listen in today as Walt Mueller shares ways to talk to your kids about making wise as opposed to foolish choices.
In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores how to make wise decisions when Scripture doesn't provide direct commands. Using school choice as a practical example, she walks through three key questions rooted in biblical wisdom. You'll also learn how to guide your children through everyday decisions—like how to spend birthday money—in a way that honors God. Perfect for Christian parents seeking to disciple their children in wisdom and discernment.
In this episode, we are discussing how to make wise decisions when faced with ethical dilemmas, both in your personal life and in your studies. My guest is Dr. Scott Rae, a distinguished Christian ethicist and professor at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. Scott is widely recognized for his work in bioethics, business ethics, and moral philosophy from a Christian worldview. He holds a Ph.D. in Social Ethics from the University of Southern California and has authored or co-authored numerous influential books, including Moral Choices and Beyond Integrity. Rae is also a frequent speaker and consultant on ethical issues facing the church, business, and society. In this podcast we discuss: How Scott first got interested in learning about ethical reasoning, especially related to business ethics and bioethics The four ways people answer the “Says who?” question about right and wrong Finding common ground with others on ethical issues Scott's very helpful model of ethical decision making applied to three case studies: Navigating your girlfriend's pregnancy Wrestling with honoring your friend vs. confidentiality at work Dealing with the challenge of plagiarism at school Why “inner peace” is not a good guide to ethical decision making Why we shout at one another so much in our polarized culture today Resources mentioned during our conversation: Scott Rae, Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics Scott Rae, Introducing Christian Ethics: A Short Guide to Making Moral Choices Scott Rae and Kenman Wong, Beyond Integrity: A Judeo-Christian Approach to Business Ethics Scott Rae and Kenman Wong, Business for the Common Good: A Christian Vision for the Marketplace The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity The Theology of Work Project The Denver Institute for Faith and Work
For the past few days here on Something Good, Ron has been looking at what the book of Proverbs says about sexual immorality. Along the way, we've seen how slowly and subtly sexual temptation can lead to sexual sin and, if we're not careful, sexual addiction. How can we avoid these issues? Find out next as Ron continues his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
Sexual temptation seldom overtakes you all at once. It comes in stages, each one more dangerous than the one before. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us through the stages of seduction and reminds us that for anyone who is in Christ, there is always a way of escape.
God created sex for two reasons: recreation and reproduction, and for two people, a man and his wife. Today, Ron takes us to the Old Testament book of Proverbs, both to remind us of God's design for sex and to warn us of the consequences of venturing outside His will. It's all part of his continuing series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life,” and it comes your way next.
The world spends an awful lot of time talking about money and sex. As it happens, so does God. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us directly to God's Word, specifically the book of Proverbs, to give us God's instruction regarding sexual intimacy, something the world has and continues to pervert.
Sell my late mother’s house? That decision burdened my heart after my beloved, widowed mother passed away. Sentiment drove my feelings. Still, my sister and I spent two years cleaning and repairing her empty home, resigned to sell it. This was in 2008, and a global recession left us with no buyers. We kept dropping the price but got no offers. Then, while reading my Bible one morning, this passage grabbed my eye: “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox” (Proverbs 14:4 esv). The proverb spoke of farming, but I was intrigued by its message. An unoccupied stall stays neat, but only with the “mess” of inhabitants would it yield a harvest of crops. Or, for us, a crop of value and family legacy. Calling my sister, I asked, “What if we keep Mama’s house? We could rent it.” The choice surprised us. We had no plans to turn Mom’s home into an investment. But the Bible, as a spiritual guide, also offers practical wisdom. As David prayed, “Show me the right path, O Lord: point out the road for me to follow” (Psalm 25:4 nlt). With our choice, my sister and I have been blessed to rent Mama’s home to many lovely families. We also learned this life-changing truth: Scripture guides our decisions. “Your word is a lamp for my feet,” wrote the psalmist, “a light on my path” (Psalm 119:105). May we walk in God’s light.

In this episode, Ryan Burklo discusses the top reasons why people struggle financially. He emphasizes that these reasons are not meant to point fingers or judge, but rather to provide insights and reminders about making intentional financial decisions. The five main reasons discussed are: low income, spending too much on housing or rent, spending too much on a car, spending too much on debt, and taking extravagant vacations. The key takeaway is to align spending with personal values and live within one's means. Takeaways Financial struggles can happen to anyone, and it's important to approach the topic without judgment. Low income can lead to financial struggles, and it's important to find ways to increase income through side gigs or career advancement. Spending too much on housing or rent can strain finances, and it's important to consider one's lifestyle and priorities when making housing decisions. Spending too much on a car can be a financial burden, and it's important to differentiate between wants and needs when making car purchases. Having too much debt can hinder financial progress, and it's important to prioritize debt repayment and live within one's means. Taking extravagant vacations can be enjoyable, but it's important to consider the financial impact and find a balance between enjoyment and financial responsibility. The key to overcoming financial struggles is aligning spending with personal values and making intentional financial decisions.

What is the biggest decision you've ever had to make? Bill Kuykendall, Guest Pastor In an information overload world, where does the Bible fall? Is our intake of God's word less than, equal to, or more than our intake of news, sports, social media, and Netflix? If we approached the Bible differently would our intake of God's word increase? That's the aim of this teaching series from Psalm 119 - to look intently at this Psalm to discover how the psalmist “treasured,” “delighted in,” and “loved” God's word, so that his view of God's word encourages ours.

Making Wise Choices - Brother Robert Holden
By Robin Webber in Las Vegas, NV, Redlands, CA, San Diego, CA - August 20, 2022 - Preparing for decisions, making decisions, and living with our decisions seems to be the cutting edge of life. Our ability to make wise choices versus bad choices is ultimately what defines and shapes us. God tells us to be holy as He is holy. Not only to know Him but become like Him. Let's learn lessons from others in the Bible as well as fully understand what is available to us today as children of our Father above and disciples of Jesus Christ. We will come to understand that when it comes to "measuring twice before cutting once"--- we are not alone!
Train your children to live a healthy life by making wise choices in the areas of nutrition, exercise, and beyond. Melanie Utley, author of the Living Healthy homeschool curriculum by Master Books, joins the podcast to share practical tips you can use to lead your family well in the area of healthy choices. She is a homeschool mom of 7 children with various special needs and is here to help your family win at living healthy.

Today's Promise: Psalm 25:12 Sometimes, life's choices are not always easy. Choices are not always black and white. Sometimes you have to choose between good and good. To fear the Lord is recognizing Him for who He is and showing Him the reverence and respect He is due. Fearing the Lord is not cowering before him but understanding that He is the Lord God who holds eternity in His hands. Next time you face a decision, submit your life to the Lord (fear the Lord) and ask Him for wisdom and guidance.
