The Disciple-Making Parent

Life moves quickly for parents and children alike. As a parent, I was reminded of this when my children shared something they learned in history class. What was once real life to me had become history to them, passed down through a textbook. Passing on God's great works and truths from generation to generation is a responsibility of parents, grandparents, and churches. In this episode, we look at Psalm 78 and its commands for us to leave a legacy of faith and encourage the next generation to put their hope in God.-----We want to help you raise strong disciples of Jesus Christ, who can stand strong in today's culture, and you can get the audiobook of the Disciple Making Parent absolutely free.Simply visit: http://www.thedisciplemakingparent.com/freeaudiobook/

In today's episode, I want to share with you some information that's helped me. Our church recently hosted a marriage conference where Deepak Reju was the speaker. I found his third session on handling conflict especially helpful. In it, he talked about how to deal with fights, how to pursue understanding your spouse, and how to make a genuine apology.I believe you are going to be truly blessed by this episode.Deepak Reju serves as the pastor of Biblical Counseling and Family Ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. He and his wife Sarah, have five children, and Deepak is the author of several books, including Great Kings of the Bible, On Guard, The Pastor and Counseling, and Pornography: Fighting for Purity.

We know that marriage is the most intimate of relationships. Our marriages display the gospel to our children and to the world. And yet marriage can be difficult. when two sinners are that close, problems arise.In this episode, you will learn to serve Jesus in your closest relationship.

Have you thought biblically and clearly about your coming glory? That's right. Your glory. Does that sound heretical to you? Then, you'll want to listen to this episode.In this episode, you'll be surprised at the findings that we, as believers, are headed for a glorious existence that we can't even imagine and will receive rewards or glory from Christ that will shock us. This is the third episode in a three-part series on glory.

Do you feel stuck in your spiritual walk? Are you an older Christian who opens his Bible and thinks, "I've heard this before?" Do you worry that you are coasting in your Christian life? In this episode, we will look at the key to finishing strong, which is pressing more into the glory of Christ. We will learn Jesus is the focal point of God's glory, and we are to sense that glory increasingly. This is the second episode in a three-part series on glory.

What does it mean to glorify God? How do we live for the glory of God, and how does it apply to our family? In the next three podcasts, we will explore the subject of glory. Glory is a word we use regularly, but we don't actually know what it means. I've had the privilege of thinking about the answer and preaching several Sunday messages on that topic. In this first podcast, Glimpses of God's Glory, you can listen to a short topical sermon. We will see four different uses of the word, which explains why we struggle to understand it. And we will think about how the word glory is used in a survey of scripture. Once you understand this teaching, the word glory will pop out at you all over scripture.Why is this important on a podcast, usually devoted to family discipleship? It's to remind us that everything is not about family discipleship. Everything is ultimately about Jesus; when parents and pastors are reminded of this truth, we'll be healthier leaders.______________We want to help you raise strong disciples of Jesus Christ, who can stand strong in today's culture, and you can get the audiobook of the Disciple Making Parent absolutely free.Simply visit: thedisciplemakingparent.com/freeaudiobook/

In any marriage, there will be disagreements, but do you know how to keep your conflict constructive rather than destructive? The issue is not whether we'll have conflict or not, but whether that conflict will be destructive or constructive. Constructive conflict leads to a new understanding of each other, the issue, and ourselves. You end up closer together at the end. Destructive conflict, on the other hand, results in continued upset and bitterness. It leads the parties to pull away emotionally. So how do we prevent destructive marriage conflict? It's vitally important that we understand this because our marriage displays Christ to a watching world and to our watching children. Well, that's the subject of this podcast. We're gonna talk about Preventing Destructive Martial Conflict.-----This podcast is a crossover from my other podcast The Disciple-Making Parent Audioblog.
