Episode notes
Exercise Household Authority With Trust
- Lead with trust; a wife's instant 'no you're not' undermines healthy submission and household authority.
- Resolve household disputes without anger, avoid keeping records of wrongs, and choose battles wisely.
Discipleship Begins In Childhood
- Discipleship and evangelism overlap; teaching children is both training and evangelizing.
- Start instructing children in Scripture and gospel truths from infancy as part of discipleship.
Choose Peace Over Cultural Battles With In-Laws
- Accommodate in-laws' conscience-based dietary or holiday restrictions to avoid needless offense.
- Prioritize gospel conversations over cultural disagreements like turkey bacon or Christmas trees.
