Upright Christian Parenting - Treehouse Storytelle... - Are Extracurriculars Robbing the Family Unit?

In this episode, Hannah confronts the quiet epidemic reshaping modern Christian homes: the outsourcing of discipleship to schedules, screens, and extracurriculars. With urgency and compassion she invites families to reclaim the dinner table, restore intentional rhythms of worship and conversation, and let fathers lead with biblical courage. Through personal stories, scriptural anchors, and practical challenges, Hannah shows how one small change—a committed family meal, a weekly worship moment, or a single reprioritized ‘no’—can turn a hurried household into a fruitful, Christ-centered home. Listeners will leave encouraged and provoked to audit their time, guard their calendars, and choose the deeper fruit of spiritual formation over fleeting cultural wins. This episode blends pastoral wisdom, candid vulnerability, and doable steps that will help families resist the world’s busyness and raise Kingdom arrows.
