"Kingdom Culture Families: Paideia, Not Perfection"
In this episode, we unpack paideia—a biblical vision for shaping not just behavior, but hearts, habits, and character. Paideia. A Greek word used in the verse to fathers in Ephesians 6:4. It means "discipline", but so much more! It encompasses the culture that forms and shapes our core instincts - the power within us to navigate ourselves, our choices and our hearts in a “multi-cultural” world. The one critical culture that determines who we become is known as Paideia - a comprehensive formation of a young child into a mature and virtuous citizen of the Kingdom of God. Paideia encompasses the long road we as parents take to bring up our children in the discipline and love of Christ - to become a Kingdom Citizen. In this enlightening episode, John Houmes and Pastor David Cassidy of SRC, discuss with wit, wisdom and insight, the meaning and importance of creating a culture of “Paideia” in our homes that will nurture our children in a way that imbeds Christ-like behaviors and impulses as they mature into adult citizens of the Kingdom of God - and the world we live in. #ChristianParenting #KingdomFamily #DiscipleYourKids #Paideia Chapters 0:00 🎙️ Can the Fear of the Lord Be Taught?

Lewis 🏰 Westminster Shorter Catechism 🏰 Heidelberg Catechism 🏰 Luther's Catechism 🔑 Key Takeaways 👑 Paideia is bigger than discipline — It's the complete formation of your child's heart, habits, loves, and instincts into a Kingdom citizen. ❤️ Formation starts with love, not information — Shape what your child loves, not just what they know. 💪 Raise resilient disciples, not chocolate soldiers — The goal is a faith that doesn't crumble under pressure, pain, or disappointment. 🏠 Your home is already a culture — The question is what it's forming your kids into. Direction over perfection. 👤 It starts with YOU — Who is discipling you so you can disciple your children? 🍽️ The dinner table is sacred ground — Don't underestimate the power of slowing down and eating together. 📚 Beauty, story & experience shape the soul — Classic literature, travel, and nature cultivate an imagination rooted in the good, the true, and the beautiful. 🌊 Take the long view — Kingdom paideia is a slow drip, not a weekend seminar.
