From Me to We: Children and Parents

From Me to We: Children and Parents

We’ve seen God’s purpose for marriage and his call to both wives and husbands. In our final episode, we turn to the broader family—children and parents. What does faithful obedience look like for children? And how can parents shepherd their children with patience, instruction, and grace? Today we explore how the gospel shapes the family as a whole, forming a household that reflects Christ’s love and discipleship.

From Me to We: Husbands

In episodes one and two, we looked at God’s design for marriage and his calling for wives. Today, we turn to husbands: men called to loving, sacrificial leadership modeled after Christ himself. What does it mean to lead like Jesus—not with harshness, but with humility, service, and care? How does the gospel empower husbands to love, protect, and nurture their wives?

From Me to We: Wives

In the first episode of this podcast, Pastor John DeVries laid the biblical foundation for marriage and the family: a design rooted in God’s wisdom. In this episode, we turn to Scripture’s teaching for wives. What does godly submission look like? How does Christ shape a wife’s calling in the home and in marriage? And how does the gospel give strength, dignity, and purpose to this role?

From Me to We: Introduction

Family is at the center of life, and marriage is at the center of the family. Yet both can be deeply challenging, easily becoming places of tension rather than joy, strength, and growth.  In this four-episode series, Pastor John DeVries explores what Scripture teaches about marriage and family, and how Christ transforms the way we live together. On today’s episode, we’ll lay the foundation—why marriage and family matter, what God intended, and how the gospel moves us from self-focus to loving service.
