Discipleship Parenting

by Chosen Gen

The Discipleship Parenting podcast is not Christian parenting tips. It's diving into the Bible, applying it to our lives, and learning how to live it out and pass it on to our children. As parents, our kids hear what we say, but, more importantly, they see what we do. In today's world, more than ever, our children need us to show them the true life and adventure found in following Jesus.

  1. Episode 292: Desiring God's Presence

    We don't want our marriages, families, parenting, or homes without God. What good are blessings if His presence isn't with us? In this episode, we look at Exodus 33 and Moses' bold declaration to refuse to move forward without God, challenging us to never settle for anything less than God's…

  2. Episode 291: Out-Discipled

    In a world constantly vying for our children's hearts and minds, parents must ask themselves a critical question: Are we being out-discipled? In this episode, we unpack why spiritual formation cannot be outsourced to Sunday mornings or Christian schools, but instead requires a proactive, 24/7...

  4. Educating for Life (Replay)

    Back to school is in the air, on our minds and all over social media. Why? Because our kids' education is a big deal.

  5. Episode 290: Pursue Modesty

    It's summertime and you don't have to go far to see that modesty is something we need to be talking about as we raise our families in the current culture. It's so important that we understand the foundation of this issue so we don't fall for Satan's deceptive lies that tell us what we want to…

  6. Powerless Religion (Replay)

    God and power go together. God works powerfully to bring us to faith. God works in power to make us new creations. God fills us with the power of the Holy Spirit to do His work in the world. The next generation needs to know God and His powerful acts, not powerless religion. Episode 244…

  7. Episode 289: Invite Them In

    Sometimes, as Christian parents, we become so focused on teaching our children the right things that we miss one of the most powerful paths of discipleship: inviting them into the joy we have in Jesus. When our children see our love for God and our satisfaction in Him, they can't help but be…

    more
  8. God, the Bible, and Homosexuality (Replay)

    If God is real and the Bible is His Word, then that changes everything. We quickly understand that it doesn't matter what one person thinks or another. It doesn't matter what the world is celebrating or not. In this podcast episode, we dive into the Bible to learn what God says about…

  10. Episode 287: Fighting for Control

    As parents, there are so many areas of our kids' lives that we fight to control, when in reality, we have no power to do so. The good news is God gives us areas in our own lives to focus on instead. It's a powerful mindset shift that helps us focus on the things that actually work and stop…

  11. Episode 286: Rooted and Flourishing Women (Women's Edition)

    The world is happy to tell you what womanhood should look like. It's happy to tell you what you deserve and what you have the right to do. But being rooted in God's Word, abiding in his love, and trusting in him, we discover a joyful life that flourishes.

  12. Episode 285: Submission and Obedience (Men's Edition)

    Submission and obedience aren't words most men are drawn to. But in this episode for men, we examine how Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father reveals a different way and what that means for us as husbands and fathers.

  13. Who Is Jesus? (Replay)

    Who is Jesus? There is no topic more important to our lives than this one. Some are happy to say He was a good teacher. Others will note His loving and compassionate heart for the down and out.

    more
  15. Episode 283: Don't Open the Door

    Sin never offers what it promises. It starts so small and manageable, but soon we find ourselves a slave to it. Don't open the door to it in your marriage or family. Jesus has set us free to live a true life with Him.

  16. Episode 282: Robbed

    We are being robbed. Jesus says that He has come that we may have life, and have it to the full. Yet our sinful nature tempts us to walk apart from God and His ways. As a result, we take a path that promises everything but delivers only destruction. Jesus is our Good Shepherd, and it is time to...

  17. Episode 281: King Jesus

    The world tells us that we can be king of our own lives doing whatever is right in our own eyes. The Bible makes it clear that this is actually a life serving sin, which leads to death. We need King Jesus. It is in following Him that we find real freedom and life.

  18. Episode 280: Rise of the Judges Generation

    "After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel" (Judges 2:10). Are we watching the rise of a Judges generation? If so, what are we, as Christians, to do?

  20. Episode 278: Conspiracies

    The world is ripe for conspiracy theories as distrust for authority builds and people turn away from God. So, it is important that we know how to handle them and look to what the Bible teaches us. As Jesus warns, there will be many deceptions in the end times, so we need to be discerning and stay...

  21. Episode 277: You Never Lose

    Are you feeling discouraged and isolated as you try to live out your Christian faith and raise your kids to follow Jesus? Have hardships and persecution worn you down? We have good news to remind you. As a Christian, you never lose. In fact, Jesus calls you blessed.

  22. Episode 276: Fruitless Deeds of Darkness

    There seems to be a growing normalization of things like New Age spirituality, charms and crystals, Tarot card readings, psychics, neo-paganism, and witchcraft. As more young people identify as "nones," it invites the opportunity for them to seek after such things. Yet the Bible is clear that we...

  23. Episode 275: Truth Decay

    A new survey reveals that even Christians do not have a solid understanding of what the Bible teaches. This truth decay cascades down to our society and the result is a nation that does whatever is right in its own eyes. As Christian parents, we need to read the entire Bible. It impacts our…

  27. Episode 271: Discipleship Parenting Foundations | Chapter 6 - Disciples: Live Out God's Word

    Reading the Bible is not a mere academic pursuit. It's not about memorizing facts. It's a life-altering encounter with the God of the universe. The Bible isn't meant to be simply studied; it is meant to be the very foundation upon which we build our lives as disciples of Jesus.

  28. Episode 270: Discipleship Parenting Foundations | Chapter 5 - Disciples: Know God's Word

    Jesus has won our freedom and calls us to follow Him as His disciples. It is a hard life that will require us to lay down our desires for His.

  33. Episode 265: Boast in Jesus

    As humans, we spend so much time boasting. We do it to defend ourselves, earn respect, or seek after love. The Bible tells us instead to boast in Jesus. It is in knowing God, His love, and redemption that we discover the reason and power of this boasting.

  34. Episode 264: Seeking Safety

    Life is filled with uncertainty. Do you find yourself coping with it all by seeking safety? As Christians, it's important that we don't get sucked up in the world's false promises of security, but rather, run to the one place it is truly found.

  40. Episode 258: Heal Our Families
