Never sacrifice your children for keeping the peace, while at the same time find a way to communicate truth in a loving way that actually causes your relationships to go deeper and people to come into alignment with your intentional parenting efforts. One of the biggest questions we get is how to handle extended family when their influence isn’t in alignment with your parenting approach. The Tolpins answer this question giving three keys to having the hard conversations that are needed. You can’t “go along to get along”. Tune in to get insights into having effective conversations that communicate what’s needed while deepening your relationships with others you love. You are the most important leaders in your children’s lives, but others who have influence can derail the spiritual health and even safety of your children.

“How do I handle people influencing my children in the wrong ways?” This is one of the most asked questions we get. It’s part of why we believe it takes more courage to parent in these unprecedented times than the last few generations of parents. Get the four steps Isaac and Angie Tolpin lay out for doing this well. 

We want to evangelize, we want to be lights for Christ, and we want great relationships, but none of that should be at the cost of negatively impacting our children. The sad truth is too many Christian parents are sacrificing their children's long-term well being. While it’s not the intention, it’s a pervasive problem.

Perhaps we’ve been taught to avoid conflict at all costs, perhaps we are more of a people pleaser than we should be. Instead we should value training up our children in the way they should go, we should value sharing truth in a loving way that sharpen others and deepens relationships.

Perhaps in the moments that matter, it’s more self-preserving to not do anything when influences aren’t ideal, than trying to love others and your children well by sharing concerns. Avoidance of conflict to stay comfortable and preserve relationships is often the source of why this happens. This is an encouraging episode backed by the bible with practical insights to help you navigate these difficult waters as the world is increasingly swaying so many that are likely around your family.

Do you want less selfishness in your family? Do you feel like its a constant battle you can’t win? Children need to be both taught the importance and the biblical call to be selfless, have examples of what that looks like, be held accountable and reminded of what God calls us to, but you know what is even more impactful for your children? Exercises the muscle of serving others, thinking of others more than themselves, literally doing and being the hands and feet of Jesus! It’s an incredible experience for every believer, regardless of your age or spiritual maturity and it’s when we walk in obedience to the Lord and serve others, our hearts change! 

Selfishness is the most common sin of all humanity; and the world, the enemy, and our flesh cries out to BE selfish, to be self-absorbed and think about ourselves first. We have to learn to “die to self” as Jesus said! And… so do our children. 

In today’s episode, Isaac and Angie share practical tips for cultivating a servant heart in your child as well as share some amazing experiences they have personally had in serving alongside their family as they plant a church. Serving together, as family, regardless of what, taking a meal to a new mama, mowing a lawn for a widow, cleaning the toilets at church, or leading a bible study, whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord… and teach your kids the same by living it out!

Who’s going to win the presidential election? With three assassination attempts so far, mass illegal immigration and perhaps more devious moves ahead in an effort to move America away from its constitutional framework, we must be prepared for the possibility that the America we know could further erode to satisfy the global initiatives. So how do we parent through this? Who do our children see that our hope is in? What are sound actions steps to be taking now in our parenting?

Isaac and Angie Tolpin answer these questions to help Christian parents be biblical strong examples in their actions; the balance between being activated citizens and standing for what’s right while also keeping our hope firmly in the Lord. Our children are watching and learning every day, so let’s do this well during these chaotic months ahead.

There is a constant concerted effort by the enemy to tempt and desensitize children to evil and sin. Yes, it is October which means that it is necessary for us to tackle, once again, the important issue of evil, specifically with regards to October 31st when most Christians actually celebrate the pagan holiday of Halloween.

Join the Tolpins as they share some interesting facts and statistics regarding things such as the sheer amount of money spent on Halloween focused consumerism as well as the challenge parents have today to protect and preserve their children’s innocence to evil things. How does role-playing impact children in the future? What does God’s Word say about dabbling with darkness and what does the Church of Satan proclaim, practice, and delight in regarding families participating in Halloween festivities? All of this and more … join us for a fire conversation.
