When you hear the word "father," a complex array of emotions and thoughts can surface.

Education, Homeschooling, and Family Discipleship - with the Andersons

A quick glance at the history of human flourishing would reveal a connection between humans and the desire to learn. While various systemized modes of educations have existed throughout time, only returning to the heart of God itself can recapture the truest meaning of education. As Christians, how do we make decisions for our families through the lens of understanding education as a means of discipleship? Join Zoe as she discusses with the Andersons practical ways to understand our education system and how as Christians we can learn to see education with a true end goal of worship and not just output.

How do we view career from a redemptive perspective while bringing all our desires under God's will for our lives? Join Zoe and Michael as they discuss these elements of work and how we can be joyfully obedient disciples in our workplaces.

Learning from the Civil Rights Movement - with Tyler David

History is often said to be a general revelation of divine inspiration. Learning from key historical turning points often offers more than just lofty intellect for believers but teaches Christians about the nexus points of God and humans throughout society. In times of struggle or turmoil, history can show us that the issues in our context are not always random or isolated from struggles Christians faced in generations prior. Join Zoe as she discusses with Tyler David the theological implications of one of the greatest turning points in American history and the broader lessons concerning government, justice, and advocacy movements like this can teach us.
