In this lively episode of the Rap Report, Andrew Rappaport and Pastor Joshua tackle the often daunting yet essential topic of parenting, framing it not just as a responsibility but as a divine act of discipleship. They dive into the idea that parenting should be viewed through the lens of spiritual stewardship, with the goal of raising children who know and love God. The conversation is peppered with witty banter, as they humorously acknowledge the struggles of modern parenting, all while emphasizing that deep connections and intentionality are key to effective discipleship within the home. Pastor Joshua shares insights from his book, "Parenting Against the Current," which offers practical tools and strategies for navigating the cultural currents that often pull families away from biblical values. Listeners are encouraged to embrace the challenge of intentional parenting, reminding them that while the journey is complex, it is also rewarding and rooted in love and faith.The podcast episode unfolds as Andrew and Pastor Joshua engage in a relaxed yet profound conversation about the trials and tribulations of parenting, framing it as a spiritual journey of discipleship. They humorously debunk the myth that parenting is simply about raising children into adulthood, instead positing that it is a divine calling to disciple the next generation. Joshua's insights from his book, *Parenting Against the Current: Taking Back Discipleship in Your Home*, serve as a guiding light in this discussion, encouraging parents to reevaluate their approach to raising children in a culture that often opposes biblical teachings.One of the standout themes is the necessity for parents to view their role as active disciple-makers, preparing their children not just for life's challenges but for a flourishing relationship with God. Joshua discusses how modern distractions and societal norms can pull families away from this goal, and he emphasizes the importance of intentional parenting that begins long before children can articulate their spiritual needs. This proactive stance involves cultivating an environment of faith that permeates daily life, making discipleship a natural extension of family interactions.As the conversation progresses, they delve into practical strategies for integrating spiritual teachings into everyday activities, such as cooking or family game nights, and how to leverage media consumption as a teaching opportunity. They underscore the importance of fostering open dialogue about faith and morality, ensuring that children are equipped to discern truth amidst cultural lies. Ultimately, the episode is a rallying cry for parents to embrace their significant role in their children's spiritual formation, encouraging them to take actionable steps toward effective discipleship, regardless of their current situation.Takeaways: Parenting should be viewed as a form of discipleship, where intentionality is key to guiding children in their faith journey. The podcast emphasizes the need for parents to engage actively in their children's spiritual development from the earliest stages of life. Discipleship is not just a church activity; it must be integrated into the home environment where kids learn to love and know God. Cultural currents often pull families away from biblical truths, necessitating a proactive approach to parenting that pushes against societal norms.

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this episode, we explore how tuning into your inner wisdom and core values can be your greatest guide in parenting and co-parenting — especially during times of conflict or stress. When emotions run high, it's easy to react rather than respond. But by reconnecting with your deeper sense of self and what truly matters, you can parent from a place of clarity, confidence, and calm. We'll discuss practical ways to cultivate self-trust, regulate your nervous system, and make decisions that align with your values, even in challenging situations. Whether you're co-parenting after divorce or navigating everyday parenting struggles, this episode will help you stay grounded and lead with intention. Key takeaways to help you stay grounded and intentional: Your Inner Wisdom is Your Greatest Guide – The answers are already within you. Pause and ask, What kind of parent do I want to be in this moment? Regulation Before Reaction – A dysregulated nervous system leads to reactive parenting. Breathe, ground yourself, and respond from clarity instead of stress. Values Over Ego – Parenting challenges can trigger fear or the need to "win." Shift your focus to love, patience, and wisdom rather than control. Detach from Drama, Focus on What You Can Control – You can't change your co-parent's behavior, but you can control your own energy and responses. Emotional Independence is Key – Your child thrives when you model emotional stability. Their well-being is shaped by your regulation, not external circumstances. Decision-Making from Integrity – When making parenting choices, ask: * Does this align with my core values? * Will this serve my child's emotional well-being in the long run? Repair Over Perfection – You won't always get it right, and that's okay. Model repair by taking responsibility, apologizing if needed, and reconnecting with love. Parenting is not about getting it perfect — it's about showing up with intention, emotional steadiness, and trust in yourself. Which of these resonates with you the most? I am always here to help you get clarity on the next step in your life, whether that is making a big relationship change, shifting your parenting, or determining what support you need.

Today, I'm talking about something so many of us navigate—co-parenting. As a parent, one of the greatest joys in life is watching your child grow and thrive. But when you're co-parenting, that journey can come with its own set of challenges—and powerful opportunities. Co-parenting, when done right, offers a sense of stability and continuity for your child. It allows both parents to remain active and meaningful influences in their child's life. But here's the key: it takes open and honest communication, a willingness to compromise, and a commitment to find common ground—even when it's hard. Remember, your child is always watching and learning from your actions. What you model now becomes the foundation for how they'll handle relationships in their own lives. Want to dive deeper?

The Solid Family | Parenting With Purpose by Pursuit Church

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
