Welcome to Grounded: A Train Up Parents Podcast. Parenting is one of the most important callings God gives, yet many parents feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or unsure where to begin. Grounded exists to equip parents to raise children firmly rooted in God’s Word—not in trends, techniques, or cultural pressure. We’ll talk about why the gospel must be central to parenting, why Scripture is the foundation of lasting faith, and what parents can do to equip their children in finding their own faith. Whether you’re parenting young children, teenagers, or adult kids, this podcast is designed to help
Episode 25: Why Jesus is God and Is Alive | A logical & Personal Perspective
Why We Believe Jesus Is God—and Is Alive Today
Why do we believe Jesus Christ is actually God? And why do we believe He is alive today?
In this episode of Grounded: A Train Up Parents Podcast, Mark and Charles move beyond simply saying “because the Bible says so” and talk about the reasons behind their faith.
We explore the eyewitness testimony surrounding Jesus and His resurrection, the significance of a God who entered His own creation, and why the resurrection changes everything. Mark also draws from his background in programming to illustrate how a creator can act within what he created—while recognizing that every analogy for God has its limits.
But Christianity isn't merely an argument to be won. Mark and Charles also share their personal testimonies and discuss the transformation they have experienced through following Christ. Evidence gives us reasons to believe, but a living Christ changes the way we live.
As parents, our children need more than inherited answers. We want them to understand what they believe, why they believe it, and how those convictions should shape their lives. Our goal isn't simply to pass down a Christian tradition. It's to help raise a generation with a faith they have examined, embraced, and can confidently explain to others.
Jesus is God. Jesus is alive. And if that is true, it changes everything.

Episode 24: Stop Telling Your Kids to "Just Believe"--Do This Instead.
The scariest question a parent can face? "Dad, why should I trust the Bible?" If your answer is "just because I said so," you’re losing the battle before it even starts.In this episode of Grounded, Charles Draper and Mark Lail tackle the tough reality: your children will eventually face a world of competing voices. If their faith is built on "blind faith" or your authority alone, it won't stand up to the pressure of the culture.It’s time to stop outsourcing your child’s spiritual foundation to the youth pastor or the church. We’re diving into why the Bible is trustworthy—not just because we believe it, but because it stands up to investigation.In this episode, we explore:✅ Beyond "Just Because": Why "blind faith" creates fragile faith in the next generation.✅ The Evidence: How history, archaeology, and Jesus’ own view of Scripture give us a solid foundation.✅ The "Emperor" Mentality: Why we need to stop being the heroes of our own stories and let Scripture expose our true motives.✅ How to Investigate: Practical ways to guide your kids through their own doubts and questions without fear.Don’t be afraid of your kids' questions. Lean into them. When you teach them to investigate the truth for themselves, you’re not just giving them answers—you’re helping them own their faith.Subscribe to Grounded for more biblical encouragement for the modern family!#FamilyDiscipleship #ChristianParenting #BiblicalTruth #GroundedPodcast #FaithAtHome #Apologetics
