In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 18:15-20. He explains Jesus's instructions on how to address sin within the Christian community, emphasizing a three-step process from private confrontation to involving witnesses and then the church, ultimately aiming for restoration. Turansky also discusses the concepts of binding and loosing, the authority given to the church, and the importance of prayer and the presence of Jesus when believers gather in His name, particularly in the context of church discipline.

Carrie Turansky joins us for a chat about traveling to England, writing split-time novels, how themes of one's life often come through in one's writing, and her latest release A Token of Love. Don't forget to enter to win a copy of this great book! 

Carrie Turansky discusses her book 'A Token of Love' and the historical background of the Foundling Hospital in London. The book is a dual time story set in 1885 and present day, exploring themes of love, truth, and justice. Turansky weaves together the stories of a historical heroine searching for her niece who was abandoned at the Foundling Hospital, and a contemporary heroine working at the Foundling Museum who uncovers present-day issues of human trafficking. The book incorporates faith elements and offers a message of hope without being overly dark or heavy.

Today it is my pleasure to host my friend Carrie Turansky on Book Talk. Carrie writes the best books set in England during the Edwardian period. Her most recent book A Token of Love is set in the Foundling Hospital and Foundling Museum. I love the story of how she found the what-if for this book — but you'll have to listen or watch to learn all about it.

Carrie Turansky is back with another fabulous split-time novel, A Token of Love. This time we're looking at a foundling home and a journalist out to uncover well-hidden secrets. Listen in as Carrie talks about her research and get a hint at what isn't coming next! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  A total aside here, but aren't bookstores really orphanages for books seeking shelfie families?  History is riddled with the horrifying secrets within different foundling homes and orphanages, but it never ceases to amaze me when I hear of another one. Carrie Turansky described the museum she attended, the questions she asked, and everything needed to ensure this book was exactly what it should be. She even shared a bit about how she writes split-time novels... and why she is taking a break from them, too!   A Token of Love by Carrie Turansky Separated by centuries, the lives of two women intertwine through their shared pursuit of love, truth, and justice.

Carrie Turansky is the award-winning author of more than twenty inspirational novels and novellas and a winner of the ACFW Carol Award, the International Digital Award, and the Holt Medallion. She loved traveling to England to research her latest Edwardian novels including the one we're discussing today, The Legacy of Longdale Manor.  Here's a description: In 2012, art historian Gwen Monroe travels to England's Lake District to appraise the paintings and antiques of an old family friend, hoping to prove herself to her prestigious grandfather. While at Longdale Manor, she becomes acquainted with David Bradley—the owner's handsome grandson—who is desperate to save the crumbling estate by selling Longdale's art and antiques. When Gwen stumbles upon an intricately carved shepherd's staff similar to one in a photo of her parents and a one-hundred-year-old journal, she uncovers a connection to the father she never knew.  In 1912, after her father's death, Charlotte Harper uncovers a painful family secret she can only confess to her journal. She and her family travel to the Lake District to stay on a sheep farm, hoping eventually to find a home with Charlotte's grandfather at Longdale Manor, but old wounds and heartrending secrets make it a difficult challenge. As Charlotte grows closer to shepherd Ian Storey and rebuilds her shattered faith, she must decide whether she will ever trust in love again.  Two women, a century apart, are taken on a journey to healing, faith, and forgiveness in this heartfelt dual-time Edwardian romance from bestselling author Carrie Turansky.  Purchase The Legacy of Longdale Manor on Amazon (affiliate).

Chatting with Carrie Turansky is always fun, but guys, this gal is such a trouper!  But with her newest novel (Split-Time!!!), The Legacy of Longdale Manor coming out, and with it taking place in the Lake District (we were probably there at the same time!!!), I am crazy excited about this book. Listen in to see what a shepherd's crook has to do with art and two women, a century apart, who both are dealing with daddy issues that only a Heavenly Father can truly help.   Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. What Heart Issues Connect These Two Troubled Women Together? Carrie Turansky and I were both in the Lake District in May (we probably overlapped a few days even! AAAK!), and I love the area she wrote about. I actually looked up Langdale Chase (the house that inspired Carrie's book) as a potential for a book I'm writing in the area. I had decided to move it closer to Ambleside. Isn't it amazing how two authors can take the same inspiration and write two totally different books?  I love that.  The faith elements she's put into The Legacy of Longdale Manor just touch my heart so deeply. Any time you are dealing with a shepherd or fatherhood, I'm all in, and I can't wait to see what she's done with it.  The Legacy of Longdale Manor by Carrie Turransky Two women--a century apart--embark on a journey to healing, faith, forgiveness, and romance. In 2012, art historian Gwen Morris travels to England's Lake District to appraise the paintings and antiques of an old family friend, hoping to prove herself to her prestigious grandfather. While at Longdale Manor, she meets David Bradford--the owner's handsome grandson--who is desperate to save the crumbling estate by turning it into a luxury hotel. When Gwen stumbles upon a one-hundred-year-old journal and an intricately carved shepherd's staff similar to one in a photo of her parents, she's left searching for answers. In 1912, after her father's death, Charlotte Harper uncovers a painful family secret she can only confess to her journal. She and her family travel to the Lake District to stay on a sheep farm, hoping eventually to find a home with Charlotte's grandfather at Longdale Manor, but old wounds and bitter regrets make it a difficult challenge. As Charlotte grows closer to shepherd Ian Storey and rebuilds her shattered faith, she must decide whether she will ever trust in love again.

Gain an abundance of wisdom from Dr. Scott Turanksy on the importance of discipling parents and how the church can step in and create a tremendous positive impact on families. 

The prevailing theme from the recent D6 Conference is shared attendees and speakers alike. That sense of God's call on parents, and on the church - to train up children in the Lord, and to love Him with all that is in us. In this episode, Mike talks to several people who are on the front lines of that call. Rob and Amy Rienow are from Visionary Family Ministries; Scott Turansky is a pastor and an author; Carissa Potter is with a ministry called Weave, which sews the thread of the Gospel in families across the globe; finally, Brian Haynes is pastor, teacher and author.

The Word says honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. This is a commandment with a promise. Today my guest, Dr. Scott Turansky shares about Teaching Children to Honor and Respect their Parents. God has designed honor to be a valuable tool that every child must learn. The word “honor” is used in nine specific commands in the Bible. It speaks volume of how much children must be taught and learn this lesson. But, where do they learn it? It starts at home.  We sometimes use respect and honor interchangeably, yet there is a difference. Respect comes from the Greek word “fabas” and it's where we get the word phobia from. When we teach respect, we teach them manners. Honor on the other hand comes from the Greek word “time” which means to value someone. The idea of honoring centers on adding value or valuing a person. When we teach children to value something, we must emphasize ways where they can do more to add to value to their parents — that means you and I. The key word is initiative. And the key concept is contributing to others. In other word, honoring and respecting parent simply adds value to our children's lives as they experience God's purpose in establish parental order.  “One of the definition of honor is that children are looking for the extra thing to do.”

Guest Scott Turansky guides us through practical strategies for shepherding our children's hearts instead of focusing on simply changing their negative behavior.

In this episode of the Church Planting Podcast Clint Clifton and Josh Turansky talk about the main topic that is coming up in everyone’s conversations, COVID 19. TranscriptionALBERT: This is the Church Planting Podcast. Thank you for tuning inALBERT: Every week we sit down with leaders who are shaping church planting efforts.ALBERT: Here’s your host Josh Turansky and Clint Clifton.JOSH TURANSKY: Hey welcome to the Church Planting Podcast! My name is Josh Turansky and I’m joined by Clint Clifton. We’re live from our bunker and ready to talk about COVID-19. Clint! How are you doing?CLINT CLIFTON: Man, it’s been the craziest couple of weeks for everybody who’s listening and for me. It’s just one brand of crazy to have some crazy time in your life but when the whole world’s having the same crazy experience, it’s just really crazy.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah, no kidding! Isn’t is weird to be all in the same trial with the world?CLINT CLIFTON: It is! It’s kind of there’s something good about it. Yeah. I mean you know, way shoot on the new one but there’s something you know, heightens a sense of neighborliness and compassion.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah! So overall, before we jump into helpful things for church planters and how to adjust, we want to provide a resource today in this episode but before we do that, how overall are you feeling? What is your posture right now when it comes to the virus and church planting? Are you excited? Scared? Worried? Fearful? CLINT CLIFTON: I would say probably out of the words you just gave me, excited is the best one to describe it. I think I went from a little bit apathetic to a brief moment of anxiety I mean it doesn’t take long for a Christian to realize that these are exactly the type of backdrops that the Lord tends to do really incredible things in. And I don’t know about you, but I got into this because I want to be part of something great. Yeah, if I wanted to be part of something like safe and normal I would have just gone into something else but being you know, in sort of missionary work you know the person that’s attracted to that work and called to that work is a person who desperately wants to be part of God’s movement. This very much seems like you know, God is preparing to do something really exceptional. And yeah, I think we’re seeing little bits of it so exciting. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah! I’m right there with you. But I’ll be transparent about 3 weeks ago, I was looking into this thing going, “Oh alright. I’ll have like a 2-week vacation being able to chill out you know, rest. Maybe not have to prepare to preach and have a couple of weeks off.” And man, it hit us and it was like, “Woah! This is not 2-weeks off!” and then hit the next wave was like, “Woah! The opportunities here. This could be huge!” So, I’m preaching it man! I’m telling people in my church this is going to have a public negative narrative but this is like a massive reset. This could be your personal moment. It could be the churches moment. There’s so much great potential that exist right now. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah! We did a call with some of our church planters here in DC and one of the guys that works for this Mark Campbell he reminded us you know, that great leaders are made in times of great opportunities and great circumstances. And this is really where the deck gets reshuffled in terms of opportunity to become a great leader. One of the things that’s been really interesting to me to watch from afar is how some pastors and church planters that were kind of quiet before you know, have emerged at the front of the race in terms of like being having a clear and unifying voice about this situation and they went all of a sudden from being like obscure on social media to totally being right out in front. They got in front of the curve with the livestreaming you know, video stocked and tinkered out. You know, they just kind of took everything a few days or weeks before everybody else did and they have really been on the front edge of this so, it’s been fun to watch that. It’s not the same pastors that are normally on the front edge you know? That’s just so interesting. JOSH TURANSKY: That’s interesting! Yeah. Yeah, it’s true. So, how do we provide value to church planters? What are things that you’re saying with the guys that you’re working with? Have we been talking about your new role? Did we mention that?CLINT CLIFTON: No, I don’t think so but that’s okay. I mean in terms of a personalized update, there are a few things. So, I’m shifted to a new role at the North American Mission Board. I’m the new senior director of development there which is a fancy way to say that I’m in charge of all training and coaching and spouse development. As well as, we’re going to stand up a new department that I’m really excited about called Residencies. And so, you know, effectively about half of what the Send Network does or a little less of what the Send Network does will be the things that I’ll be leading out in and I’m super excited about that and about the opportunity to get to work on a national level of church planters all around the country and bring kind of field experience into that role. Little nervous about it too. I want to do a good job and it’s definitely outside of my wheel house so praying to the Lord will equip me for that.JOSH TURANSKY: Wow! I’m sure you’ll be great. You’ve been a blessing on this podcast. You’ve got a bunch of great wisdom to pour into guys. So, that’ll be great! We’re excited for you. And what a blessing!CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah, and also Josh as you know, I got stuck in Haiti as a result of the virus. Simultaneously last week last Wednesday I got a Visa, we’ve been working to adopt a little girl in Haiti for many years and we’ve finally got a Visa and I just happen to come through right in the middle of this whole debacle and they were talking about closing down all air travel for months to Haiti. And so, I saw this small window of opportunity and I thought if I don’t get on a plane now and go, I may not be able to do this for a long time and I’ll just be leaving our little girl there a little longer. It was hard to swallow you know? I took the risk and I jumped on a flight and I went there. And I landed on Thursday morning and on Thursday afternoon they announced all the airports are shutting down though I had a ticked for Friday morning. So, yeah. I got stuck and I wasn’t sure quite how long I’d be there. It was for those who watched on cloud on Facebook it was fun but yeah, I did long story that I got back on Monday which I’m real grateful for and the Lord is you know, looking after us and taking care of us. So, we were able to get back home and I was able to bring our girl home and so were now quarantining as a new family here so it’s been great.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah man! You shared all that stuff on Facebook between you and your wife and it was just such a joy to walk with you guys through that. It’s like you gave us a gift of being able to be part of your story. We were living vicariously through your faith as you took that step down to go down there and got stuck and we were praying for you and so it was great to see the whole thing resolve. And we’ve talked about your adoption before and so people can go back and listen to that episode. I’ll find it, we’ll put it on the show notes about the backstory. Awesome! Okay. So, that’s an important life update. A lot of people know you well who listened to this and if they haven’t heard both of those updates, those are important. Okay. What are you telling church planters right now? What can we offer as we face this new world of Corona virus?CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. There’s a couple of things that come to mind. The first thing is, this is a time when thought leaders in our networks, their work really matters and its really substantive you know? Normally, thought leaders are publishing and they’re putting out information about what’s going on across the board and that information is kind of interesting and anecdotal maybe a little helpful. Right now, it’s kind of necessary. And so, we need to be paying attention. You know, I was noticing yesterday several pastors that I know and I’ve known for years in the area I know my Facebook feed told me that they joined Facebook. Like they had not previously been on Facebook and they joined up. And I thought, “Oh man! That would be a bad place right now you know, to be making your first friend request right now.” And I just imagined this guys that you know for personal reasons that you know; social media doesn’t need to be part of my life. Well that narrative changed big time for us you know, in the last few weeks. And suddenly it’s the only way to communicate. The narrative also changed from you know, the role of online services plays in our churches you know? I mean, all of the sudden things that we were questioning the validity of them even as things, now they are a center on our ministry. So, we’re disoriented and rightfully so, this is a disorienting thing. We have to listen to those thought leaders. So, I mean I’m so thankful for Ed Stetzer. He’s really emerged in this. Not surprising to any of us that he’s emerged in this as a thought leader and I think we need to be paying attention to what he’s saying right now through his work in Christianity today and other publishing he’s doing through Twitter. When something like this happens, somebody becomes the de factor you know, communicator about peace for us and it’s Ed right now and so, I think we should be looking to him and listening. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. And it seems like what Ed is doing, is that he is calling you in on all of the relationships that he’s built over the past 40 years of ministry and saying, “Speak into this.” So, he’s become this conduit passing along some of the chief decision makers in the country and speaking to the church in a powerful way. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. He’s kind of given us 4 things to think about. There’s a really helpful article he wrote recently called “This is not the crisis” I think is the name of the article. I think it’s from Christianity today. He gave us 4 phases of crisis management. There is this kind of you know, crisis management 101 things but they apply to us right now in this situation. And he says that we should pause and pivot which you know, most of us have done and not because we wanted to but because we were forced to. So, we’re a few weeks for most of us. He says phase 2 is preparing and planning. Many of us have stuck our heads in the sand on that one and just said, “We’re going to ride it out.” Instead of preparing and planning. And he makes the case in the article that the problem with that is the crisis isn’t here yet. And if you don’t prepare during this season that you have and think, “Oh this will blow over.” And we’re wrong about that which at this point is becoming increasingly clear we’re wrong about that if you’re thinking that way, then you will not be able to do phase 3 which is execute and engage. So, if we don’t have a plan for you know, if things will look here like and where you live like they look in New York right now, what are you going to do? How are you going to take action on that? Most of us are still busy thinking how are we going to get paid you know, and things are going to continue to work for us, that we haven’t lifted our eyes above their eyes and say “How can we serve our neighbors and what is God doing in this?” So, it’s really critical for you to be able to minister to people and to be who God is going to give you the opportunity to be in a few weeks that you’re going to have to spend this time preparing and planning. So, let this be a wake-up call if you’re listening to this and you haven’t engaged with Ed or his material yet and you’re listening to this and you’re thinking, “I still don’t know quite what to do here.” What you need to be doing right now is planning for the crisis that’s coming and determining how you’re going to execute on that crisis. This is the difference between a great leader and just a mediocre leader or not such a good leader is being able to recognize if something is coming and being prepared to do something about it taking decisive action. And in the 4th one he mentions is recovery and reemergence and where not you know, anywhere near that right now. But we need to be really planning to execute and engage. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. No, those are great points. The video that he shared on Facebook had, last time I saw and that was a couple of days ago, had hundreds of thousands of views in just a matter of days. And he’s like live streaming from his basement. It’s nothing fancy but it’s just such good content. So, we’ll link over to that as well. I’m sure most guys have seen that but if not, that’s an excellent resource. It seems like you know, at least in the US government we often talk about a policy developing from local government to state government up to federal government that the ideas and concept start on a small level, grass roots level, and they are implemented nationwide after they’ve been proven at a lower level. I often think that that’s how church planting is, that us church planters are a bunch of weirdos and we’re willing to take risks and be innovative and try new things for the sake of getting our churches off the ground starting new things. And so, it there’s ever a season to be innovative and to try new things, this seems like a great time. And you think, it seems like you can get away with a lot of trial and error. There’s a lot of forgiveness right now. People know that like you know, live streams aren’t going to be perfect but man, now’s a great time to try things out and to recognize in those trials, bigger churches, more established churches will probably learn from a small guy trying out new ideas. CLINT CLIFTON: Man, you’re so right! The agility that church planters have to make decisions and changes right now is a massive advantage to use. So, that thing that’s such a disadvantage to use several weeks ago that you didn’t have resources and building and budget and staff and all that stuff. All that stuff that was an asset is now become a liability for most churches and what you have in your favor is agility and you’re not bound down by much of anything. You can go out there and serve Jesus boldly and graciously in your context without the responsibility of having to care for a staff of however many size or trying to keep the lights on your building or figure out how to handle all the management of all the assets that you have. This is a huge advantage for you as a church planter. Take this and use it as such. I think this is a time for us to prove that we are kingdom people. That we are not just about our own work but we are about the success of the Gospel in our cities and our communities. In my city I’ve been trying to call our church planters to look around and say not one of us is going to fall through the cracks during this season. We’re going to make sure that everyone gets through this. And that mean the immigrant planter who was barely rubbing sticks together before this thing’s started, and the church planter who you know, was thriving really well we’re all going to get through this and we’re all going to hold each other’s hands and help each other get through it. So, I mean in every way that you can. If you’re a white or Anglo church planter right now or pastor of a church and you think you’re likely to make it through this season, I just want to implore you please look over the bough at some immigrant church planter or some struggling church planter and make it your aim to be their friend through this process and just do everything you can possibly do to make sure that they don’t fall through the cracks. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Amen! It seems like the innovation is taking places in a couple of different fields. It seems like guys are learning when it comes to technology, live streaming but other than the technology heading I would put the Sunday service and just video how to use video for your Sunday worship but then also online giving how you’re going to use your social media pages. Like the curve right now, the learning curve is like guys are just learning a ton in a space and so, if you’re not on an email chain or there’s not that brotherhood where you can hear the next guy over what great things he’s doing, then you’re really missing out because there’s all kinds of experimentation that’s going on with technology that’s huge! The second thing that I was going to say, so you got technology but then you’ve also got a lot of stuff going on with community. So, churches that may have been behind the curve on small groups or fostering community which I would say is my church, there was stuff in for us for 5-6 months that’s kind of like feeling like now we really need to do this. We really need to get into this. And this crisis gave me the excuse to violently execute on vision that I have like 6 months ago. And I know I’ve seen a lot of guys talking about community. Where else are you seeing growth and experimentation and adjustments?CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. In every area Josh! I just think for right now, you just touched on this a minute ago but in every area it’s like the rules that we were all playing by aren’t there anymore you know? Even the ecclesiological ninjas out there that are really concerned about church ecclesiology and kind of making sure that we’re honoring God in the way we think about things ecclesiologically, those guys are live streaming. 3 weeks ago, they said, “I would never live stream.” And their live streaming out of necessity only God can do that. I mean, He shook everything up and all our rules are gone. I heard one pastor said that he took all of the idols and just smashed them. You know, and you just think about 4 weeks ago if somebody would have said to us, if somebody would’ve popped on our podcast and said, “Hey! You know a month from now every church in America is going to be live streaming their services and no church in America is going to gather for worship.” We would’ve just laugh. This is a fruit cake, you know? And I couldn’t have even conceived of a scenario where that would’ve taken place. So you know, this is like the Lord to give us a dark background to really shine the light of his goodness on us until He’s going to do something, I don’t know what it is but man, I want to be ready, I want to be poised, I want my church to be ready and I didn’t expect to have to use live stream. We’re trying to figure out you know, how to celebrate our 15th anniversary as a church tomorrow or not tomorrow but Sunday in our worship service. How do we do that when you know? Or do you even do that? Or does it even matter? You know, all those things are really important right now.JOSH TURANSKY: Wow. Yeah. It is pretty wild. Pretty wild. Do you have, I know this is just like breaking news, but it looks like this, one of the fears, let’s go back, let’s give it a little context. One of the fears as this has unfolded is the money aspect and that we’re in a tight spot as church planters typically when it comes to money. But it looks like with this legislation that passed the availability of some money in terms of loans that would be forgiven, have you looked at that at all in the last couple of days?CLINT CLIFTON: I was just, before we were on here, I was talking to a lawyer who is a Christian lawyer, who’s also a pastor and a lawyer, he runs a kind of church-based law firm, and he was saying to me that there are some very friendly you know, legislations coming. The one that he was mentioning was you know, churches are required to now provide, or business are required to provide salary for sick people on their staff. They can’t just let them go but they’re going to give you know, the government can’t give a 100% of that back in tax breaks for those organizations until that has affected churches in some ways but business largely. And then I haven’t heard about what you were talking about but, yeah, I mean on every level, everybody seems to be leaning in to this in a kind of way that have kind of you know, is exceptional. You know, people are doing things they certainly wouldn’t have done 2 weeks ago and businesses are doing generous things and it’s kind of amazing to be part of and I just can’t help but think that this is going to shape us and kind of whittle down into our psyche for the years to come so yeah!JOSH TURANSKY: I watched a live feed, a live stream from the Vanderbloemen group yesterday and they’re talking about this legislation that’s passed and there is a pay roll loan that can be given to non-profits that will cover your pay roll for 2 ½ months and if your full time employee equivalency is the same number now as it is going to be next year this time, then the entire loan for your pay roll will be forgiven. So, they go through, they spent an hour kind of describing this but it’s unlike the bail out, remember when Bush gave that or I think it was a stimulus check or bail out check whatever it was, and every family got a $1,000.00. The government is going to do that again but this legislation now is not only going to bail out small businesses but there’s language for non-profits churches, Christian schools to access this payroll assistance program for up to 2 ½ months. So, I’m sure there will be more information that comes out about that. You can contact your accounting center and it’s all going to be processed through the small business association is going to handle the technicalities of it. But you can go to your bank and about 2-3 weeks supposedly and access this loan and the question still on the table last night was ‘well what about housing allowance’ and those types of things. That stills got to be hammered out but it seems very promising the way that it’s been put together.CLINT CLIFTON: Wow. Unbelievable. Well I mean, even private industries I think it’s great that the government is doing things but private industries I saw a list yesterday of all the things that private companies are doing you know, just to help out during this season. Even companies like Xoom, NAMB is a share holder in Xoom right now gosh! Unbelievable right? The guys in Xoom are like you know, if you sign up for an account right now it’s like half offer quote I don’t remember how much it is but they’re just trying to say, “Yeah we know everybody’s going to be forced to use this tool that we’ve invented now and other than just capitalizing on it we’re going to be generous.” I just think it’s so cool. Yeah, there’s not much that happens in the world to cause people to be generous and so, I think I want to see stuff like that.JOSH TURANSKY: I’m calling up. So, there’s different things that we need for like our center and different programs that we’re running right now and I’m calling people and just saying, “I need this. Would you donate it?” and I’m getting yeses more than I’ve gotten before. I just got off the phone 30 minutes ago to a restaurant supply company like “I need fridges, freezers, stainless steel tables to do food distribution” and they’re like, “Send me a letter. We’ll get you hooked up.” So, now seems to be a great window of opportune time where if you’re part of the solution and you’re being aggressive in meeting need, there is private industry that will partner with you. The Food bank of Maryland waived a bunch of regulations for us and because normally we associate our work in the community with faith so, we will share the Gospel, we are faith based and so that has kept us from being able to access some of the resources because of the way we do stuff. But they’re waiving all that like, “We want to get the food out! You can have it! Here’s 6,000 pounds of food you know?” So, now’s the time to be aggressive.CLINT CLIFTON: It is the time. I mean, that’s a great way to say it. I think this is the time you know, for such time that we have become church planters, this is the time. I think initially, I even said to your first question, I even said yeah, I think initially I was like anxiety. I think initially, the first you do is like, “How is this going to affect me? How is this going to affect my church?” But then I’m like it doesn’t take long to be like, “Oh man! The kingdom opportunity here is huge and this is kind of what we went into this for! We were made for a time like this.” So, we weren’t look for it, we weren’t expecting it, we weren’t prepared for it but let it be that we can look back on it and say you know, we capitalized on that time for God’s glory.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah! And I want to be careful to not come across as exuberant in other people’s suffering. My excitement is for the work that God can do to you in the midst of a crisis and I think that’s my excitement. At the same time as I’m excited, and you’re excited, and you see the potential, there’s a lot of people that are about to suffer. There’s a lot of physical suffering that we’re going to see in the next couple of weeks like you were saying earlier, the crisis is going to hit that’s what Stetzer was saying. There’s going to be mental and emotional turmoil that people are going through or seeing a massive spike in domestic violence. And there maybe a long tail on the financial suffering that takes place even with the actions that the government is currently taking to backstop the economy.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah! And I mean I think just as hard as we’re working and just as much as good things are happening in the kingdom too like the enemies work as well I just with Garret Kell if you were not familiar with him you should follow him on Twitter. But he just posted about phone usage. Everybody is quarantined in their house and you know it’s like 4 times, 5 times what it normally is which is already a third of the internet or something like that. So, just incredible you know, the opportunities that God’s going to use for good but they’re also creating all these opportunities for sin and temptation and so you know, we just need to be the kind of people that would do everything we can to rescue people during this time when we’re not the only one trying to capitalize on this.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah! Amen. Amen. Anything else before we wrap up this episode?CLINT CLIFTON: No. Not really other than to just say on a personal level, I can’t speak for the North American Mission Board I know and those organizations that I work with. We want to be as helpful as we can to church planters and pastors and so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if we can be any help to you at all. There is a simple email address called help@namb.net and you just send an email to that and we will try to do everything we can to help you if you are a church planter out there and you’re working to get things done. Even if you are an established church pastor and we can be some help to you please let us know. There’s a lot of learning out there and this is the time when being a part of churches really matter you know? This is you know, if there’s anybody who’s scratching their heads saying, “Why would I be part of something like that?” Right now, that question is not being asked. I mean all we’re doing is taking care of one another right now. And again, it’s probably going to get worse. So, praying it doesn’t but probably is. And so much that it is, please don’t live in isolation and regarding this reach out to others and feel free to reach out to us as well. Thanks. JOSH TURANSKY: Amen! Alright Clint. Thanks.

During the last 10 minutes of my conversation with Dr. Turansky I asked him about how to train a child with oppositional behavior. He mentioned 7 different tools. With each tool there are several resources available through his website (https://www.biblicalparenting.org/).  Please listen to Ep 274 for the rest of the conversation. 

When a child disobeys, our knee-jerk reaction is typically to discipline with consequences. It’s probably how we were parented and seems like the best choice at the moment. But what if we took a different approach?  My guest Scott Turansky has some exciting, hope-filled news for us. We can look at our child’s behavior and identify a heart attitude that needs training. Changing their attitudes or internal motivations is what will drive external or behavioral change.  “I would suggest that parents move to consequences too quickly and that another approach is needed to make a lasting change in a child's heart. If we strategically focus on the heart of a child and use techniques that are more internally-focused, we can see some really significant things take place.” Scott is an expert in parenting. He literally teaches college courses on it. He’s the director at the National Center for Biblical Parenting, the author of several books and a father of five. Scott shares a lot of wisdom and practical advice for moving our kids from a place of defiance and disobedience to an attitude of honor and selflessness.  It’s a lot to take in, but so good and full of hope. We can do this and Scott is here with resources and ideas to help us train our kids’ hearts.  Connect with Scott:  Website: biblicalparenting.org  Facebook: facebook.com/National-Center-for-Biblical-Parenting Books: amazon.com/Scott-Turansky    Links Mentioned:   National Center for Biblica Parenting  [WEBSITE] Biblical Parenting Coaching Program [WEBSITE] Good and Angry: Exchanging Frustration for Character in You and Your Kids!

We thought our subscribers would enjoy listening to it as well. 100 Questions and Conversation StartersAlso, Josh wanted us to make sure that we linked to his ethical framework for lying RARELY. It is called Graded Absolutism. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_absolutism

A Heart Based Approach to Parenting There is a real difference between a heart based approach to parenting and behavioral modification. As parents, we must have our children's heart. The concepts of this approach can easily be identified in God's word, which today's guest, Dr. Scott Turansky will tell you is a barrel of resources....
