“When we role-model with authenticity, the children pick it up.” - EricMany men today wrestle with their masculine identity, torn between projecting strength and suppressing vulnerability.In this episode, Aaron speaks with educator and father of four, Eric Loh, who offers heartfelt reflections on raising boys in a rapidly changing world. From the rise in emotional struggles among teens to the pressures of social media and shifting ideas of success, Eric underscores the crucial role parents play in nurturing resilient, grounded young men. He highlights the power of modelling as a father—demonstrating faithfulness, responsibility and a teachable posture—traits shaped not through instruction but through the consistency of daily life.Eric also shares candidly about strengthening parent–child relationships through connection: with values, authority and community. He reminds us that discipline, when paired with love and presence, becomes a pathway for growth rather than fear. As boys navigate vulnerability and independence, parents must work together, not against each other.Based on what he sees in you today, what kind of man is your son becoming?--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

In today's episode, Jason sits down with Chris Dias of Hope Bible Church in Oakville, Ontario to discuss Chris' journey from the corporate world into vocational ministry. Chris reflects on Hope Bible Church's unique co-lead model, grounded in long-term friendship and clear “highest and best use” roles, and shares honestly about the joy and struggle of being a church committed to equipping and sending out ministers and church planters. Along the way, he highlights the importance of prayerful discernment and the courageous work of calling and forming leaders for the good of the local church.Chris and Jason explore:The story of Hope Bible Church and what God has done in the past 20 years,Chris' journey from bank executive and church elder to full-time vocational ministry, and what that discernment looked like over time,Why Hope Bible Church shifted from a senior pastor model to a co-lead model, and the ingredients that make it work,The burden of Matthew 9:38, praying earnestly for labourers, and how leadership development requires both prayer and courageous invitation,The worthwhile cost of being a sending church: money, bandwidth, change, and the grief of releasing friends, A framework for multiplication: conviction, culture, constructs, and why the Church needs all three.Chris offers a grounded, hope-filled vision for pastors who feel the weight of leadership shortages, who long to develop future leaders with depth, and who want to build churches that both grow and send. If you're trying to steward what God is doing without drifting into self-reliance, may this conversation renew your dependence on Jesus, expand your imagination for multiplication, and strengthen your courage to call leaders forward.Show NotesHope Bible Church OakvilleGive to The Pastorate's Year End CampaignEmerging Leaders Lab ApplicationSpring Pastors RetreatPartnersContact John Wright at Generis for help cultivating a culture of generosity in your church. We couldn't do the work we do at The Pastorate without your generous support.

One of the most challenging things for a leader is raising up more leaders to join them, particularly within a church congregation. In this conversation, Dave and Laura sit down with Dr. John H. Wilson, author of The Nehemiah Way: Mobilize a Church Full of Leaders.

There is no pastor and no pastor on the way. What does that mean for the church? Is there a path forward toward health and growth? I believe so, and I believe that at least part of the answer is already in our church. Today we are continuing to look at raising up shepherds from within the church.

In this second half of Nathan Pierce's conversation with Mike Schutt of Worldview Academy, they dive deeper into how Christians can think biblically about politics, civic engagement, and public policy. Mike shares practical ideas for teaching students to understand the role of government, stand for absolute truth, and live out their faith in a culture that often rejects it.They also discuss how young people can get involved now—through debate, mock government, and civic engagement—and why modeling godly involvement as parents matters. Together, they reflect on the loss of key Christian leaders, the importance of passing on a biblical worldview, and the need to raise up a new generation that stands firm for truth and human flourishing.Worldview Academy:https://www.worldview.org/FPM Website:fpmca.org

Jesus on the Cross reveals the depravity of human beings and that we're not beyond repair. But repairing humanity comes at the cost of witnessing to the truth--not my truth or your truth, but the truth. And truth is that upon which a free society depends. Without it, life is governed by the whim of those wielding the power of Twitter, or the presidency or a long-range rifle, instead of the inalienable rights/truths imprinted in us by God. Homily for the 25th Sunday of Ordinary Time and reflection upon the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Cancel culture has become one of the most defining—and divisive—features of our modern world. For parents raising daughters, the stakes are high: one wrong post, one unpopular opinion, and she could face public shaming or social exile. How do we raise girls who remain unshaken in their Biblical convictions while leading with love, grace, and resilience?  In this episode, Rachael Culpepper is joined by journalist, author, and cultural commentator Billy Hallowell for a powerful conversation on equipping girls to stand firm in Christ in the face of cultural pressure. Together, they unpack how cancel culture distorts the concepts of accountability and forgiveness, why the Gospel offers a radically different response, and what practical tools parents can give their daughters to navigate the digital world with discernment.  You'll hear how to:  Teach your daughter to speak truth boldly without fear of rejection  Model healthy boundaries while practicing Biblical forgiveness  Guide girls through social media pressures with confidence in their identity in Christ  Use cultural moments as teachable opportunities about redemption and grace  Introduce apologetics in a way that equips—not intimidates—young believers  Referenced Scripture:  Isaiah 5:20  2 Corinthians 5:17–20  Matthew 5:43–48  Romans 14:1–12  If you've been wondering how to raise a girl who can stand strong in her faith in a culture quick to “cancel,” this episode will encourage, challenge, and equip you for the journey.   Learn more about Billy Hallowell at billyhallowell.com. Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.
