In this episode we delve into how the younger women and men need the older women and men to invest in their lives. Those young people don't need criticism, but rather the transfer of knowledge in a grace filled loving way. It needs to be modeled so the next generation knows what it looks like to live counter-culturally!

We also touch on the truth that the only way this cross-generational process can take place is by both generations stepping out in humility and grace...looking to invest and looking to be invested in.

In this episode, we address the need and responsibility of the older generation of men and women to be so consumed and transformed by grace. So often, that is just not the case. They grow old and check out of their God given responsibilities. They don't demonstrate a life consumed by grace. We need examples to follow. We need examples that raise the standard. We need men and women who are humbly obedient to the call of Titus 2:2 -3 on their life.

Are you consumed by grace? Then you already know what counter-cultural looks like. For the rest of us, this is a wake-up. It is a call to stand up, raise the standard, and charge into this world leading those who dare to follow.

In this episode we address the cultures that we may find ourselves standing against. You will find the culture of Crete in the first century had many parallels to the culture in which we find ourselves surround. If Titus was without excuse, then so are we!

Let us be consumed by His All-consuming grace and not by the culture seeking to consume us!

In this episode, we discuss God's qualifications for manhood. Surprisingly, those qualifications have nothing to do with the world's definition of a man.

When you have as many daughters as we have, it is important to establish early, what you are looking for in the men you want them to marry. While all of these qualifications are essential, we both agree there is one that matters most to us.

Sometimes, Christians can be the most ungracious people I know. The Grace of God should transform us, and when it does, it really shouldn't matter what our position or place is in the relationship. We should handle ourselves with grace. We should walk in wisdom, and our words should ALWAYS be with grace and seasoned with salt. If your attitude toward others does not reflect the transformational power of grace in your life, maybe it is time to take some time and reflect on whether you truly understand grace.

In this episode we look at how we too could be guilty of redefining marriage by NOT living according to grace principles. If we are redefining marriage, the bigger problem is that we are also guilty of showing the world a faulty example of the relationship with Christ and the church. Consider the implications of showing the world that faulty example. People's eternities hang in the balance.

That brings up another question. Why do we redefine marriage when God made it so simple?

Join us as we begin a two-part series on the marriage relationship. All of our relationships in life need to bring glory to God, and the marriage relationship is no exception.

Before we can dig into the principles of grace that must be applied in our marriage (Part 2), we must first examine God's definition and design for marriage.

Relationships are the window into each person's relationship with Christ. We may know a lot of Bible stuff for which we are thankful and proud, but it is the relationship with our Savior that is evidenced in our relationship with others.

The parent child relationship is probably the relationship that most exposes the relationship the parent has with their Savior. Join us as we discuss raising our children in grace so we can all bring glory to God through these relationships.
