The Decision That Defines Your House
from The Gen X Disciple · host Gen X Disciple
In this episode of The Gen X Disciple, Patrick unpacks one of the simplest yet most powerful lines in the Old Testament—“But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD” from Joshua 24:15—and what it means for the actual culture of your home. He paints the scene of an older Joshua, at the end of a hard leadership journey, drawing a clear line in the middle of a spiritually confused culture and declaring where his household stands.From a Gen X perspective, Patrick talks about growing up in homes where faith was often unspoken, assumed, or reduced to rules, and how easy it is now to let phones, schedules, and stress set the tone by default. He challenges listeners with a direct question: What does your household really stand for—not in theory, but in daily rhythms, conflict, money, failure, and grace? Because that’s the real sermon your home is preaching.You’ll be encouraged to name one clear value for your household—like honesty, prayer, forgiveness, or worship—and take a concrete step to live it out this week, quietly saying with your life, “As for me and my house, this is who we are and where we’re going.”
