Ep. 151 - How To Lead Your Family - Dr. Joel Beeke
Most men would say they would die for their wives and children. But will they live for them? In this episode, we're joined by author and theologian Dr. Joel Beeke to discuss what biblical headship actually looks like. In a culture where leadership is often misunderstood, avoided, or distorted, we explore God's calling for men to lead their families with humility, conviction, and Christ-like love. From the frame work of prophet, priest and king, we chat about holy habits, marriage, discipline, and family leadership. This conversation offers both practical wisdom and gospel hope for husbands and fathers. To learn more be sure to pick up a copy of Dr. Beeke’s book How To Lead Your Family here! 0:00 — What Does It Mean to Be a Good Leader?18:00 — Holy Habits24:00 — Avoiding the Ditches28:00 — Love and Discipline33:30 — Personal Holiness52:00 — Wives & Husbands1:10:00 — Encouragement A BIG THANKS TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSOR, TRIVAN!

Ep. 150 - Are We Giving God Our Leftovers? - Rev. Hank Van der Woerd
What does true generosity actually look like? Have we reduced giving to percentages and leftovers, while missing the heart behind it all? In this episode, we’re joined by Rev. Henk Van der Woerd to discuss the biblical role of deacons, the ministry of mercy, and how generosity reflects the very character of God. From church leadership to stewardship and practical care, this conversation challenges the way we think about money, service, and the life of the church. To listen to Rev.

Ep. 149 - The Kindness of God in Guilt & Conviction - Matt King
What do we do with guilt? Is conviction something to fear—or could it actually be one of the ways God lovingly draws us back to Himself? In part two of this conversation with Pastor Matt King, we talk honestly about sin, confession, repentance, and the difference between shame and guilt. We unpack why guilt, when understood rightly, isn’t meant to crush us, but can be a gift of God’s kindness that leads us back into relationship with Him. We also explore what it means when we don’t feel convicted, the importance of confession in the Christian life, “gospel gaps” between what we believe and how we live, and how the Church is meant to walk with one another through sin with both truth and grace. 0:00 - How are shame and guilt different?8:00 - Dealing with guilt14:00 - Shame and guilt proneness29:00 - What if we don’t feel convicted?38:00 - Confession and repentance48:00 - Counseling and the Church56:00 - Corporate confession1:02:00 - Sharing vs. burdening A BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, NEERALTA, BUILDERS OF GRAIN STORAGE AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT.
