Your Life...Well Spent - Interview with author Russ Crosson
Guest: Russ Crosson, chief mission officer and senior partner of Blue Trust (Ron Blue Institute), and author of Your Life…Well Spent: The Eternal Rewards of Investing Yourself and Your Money in Your Family
If you’d like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.
Russ - I manage my money to have more LIFE, not just more money!
Russ - you need to know the difference between PROSPERITY (wealth/money/material possessions) and POSTERITY (children/legacy/generations to come).
The Principle of Time Replacement: How to Add Posterity Time to Our Schedules
“Time-saving” devices - we spend more time working in pursuit of more money or to buy more possessions that require time to use and maintain. As a result, the typical full-time employee’s work week has expanded from forty to nearly fifty-seven hours.
When you make spending decisions, ask, “How will this expense affect our entire family?”
Principle of Replacement - the addition of new time commitments to my schedule usually involves a trade-off between work and posterity timeOnly say yes if the activity can replace something else that’s already in your schedule that doesn’t detract from your posterity time
A New Understanding of Work
#5 - Only change vocations to better fulfill your purpose and maximize your time flexibility - not to make more money
#7 - If you’re in a career that is currently generating sufficient income, carefully evaluate additional time spent to earn more income, especially if your children are young.
Remember, your children’s first ten years are the most critical

Inside Out movie discussion (2 of 2)
Guests: Jane Matthews, Julie Hildebrand, and Gabe Boyd
For video of this podcast, check out PCA’s YouTube page.
In this episode, we look at the latest Inside Out 2 movie which adds additional emotions to young Riley as she turns 13 and enters puberty. In addition to Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust, Riley now gets Anxiety, Envy, Ennui (Boredom in French), and Embarrassment.
As with the first Inside Out movie, this film is filled with excellent content for meaningful conversations with your children. The situations are powerful and the changes and challenges that Riley faces are moving.
We hope that our discussion helps you, as a Christian parent, engage with mediums like mainstream movies in a significant way with your family. Our discussions of Inside Out 1 and 2 are not an endorsement of the movies, their content or message, but a realization of the powerful influence of movies in our culture and an opportunity to present you with insights about how to utilize these resources to equip your family from a Biblical worldview.

We started our discussion with the first Inside Out, which was released in 2015. This movie from Pixar looks at the various emotions that make up our personality - for the movie, they chose Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust.
From a parenting perspective, the movie is filled with excellent content for meaningful conversations with your children. The situations are powerful and the changes and challenges that Riley faces are moving.

Section Three - Families and Churches in Partnership
Working together, parents and their faith community can be a dynamic and potent force for the kingdom of God, leading to transformed lives among the young people in the church’s families.
Chapter 8 - Parents Must Manage Media Exposure
Exposure to media is the MOST significant shaper of a person’s worldview
Parents consciously fill the role of media gatekeeper
Large doses of media consumption change the configuration and capacity of the brain - for the worseAcceptance of parental authority drops
Four M’s of Media ManagementMonitor media use
Minimize media use
Moralize media content
Model media standards
Chapter 9 - Where is the Local Church?
Churches, like most service-based organizations, are responsive to the expressed needs and desires of their user base. Face it, parents do not clamor for real discipleship experiences for their children, and churches have not done much to push back on that blind spot.
The most effective churches provide:Teach parents to understand and own the role of spiritual mentor to their child
Offer support and assistance needed for parents to fight the spiritual war that surrounds their children
Good churches look to PARTNER with parents…
A WORD about Christian schools…Public schools are no friend to Christ
A Bible-based Christian school can be an enormous help to a parent who is striving to raise a spiritual champion and partnering with parents in seeking to defeat the prevailing culture that dismisses biblical truths and lifestyles
Chapter 10 - Fight for Your Children
You must MODEL for them the life of a spiritual warrior…

Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child’s Heart, Mind, and Soul
By George Barna
Section ONE - The Importance of Children
Section TWO - The Four Principles of a Disciple
Section THREE - Families and Churches in Partnership
Section Two - The Four Practices of a Disciple
Making a life-defining commitment to be a disciple of Jesus
Accepting the biblical principles and commands that lead to becoming a disciple
Adopting the lifestyle of a disciple - obedience through application of beliefs
Inviting personal accountability and stability - through assessing what matters, reinforcing growth, and celebrating disciplehood
Chapter 4 - Disciple-Making Practice #1
Being a genuine disciple starts with obedience.
Why obey His teachings? Because He has provided them so that we may flourish in life.
Obedience therefore demands knowledge of Scripture
A different way of describing a disciple is someone who thinks like Jesus, which enables them to act like Jesus, producing someone who therefore lives like Jesus.
Spiritual Commitments:Serving Christ
Building a solid relationship
Investing personal resources
Implementing a solid plan
Using proven practices
Chapter 5 - Disciple-Making Practice #2
Biblically speaking, discipling a child is meant to be done by the child’s parents
How WORLDVIEW developsExperimental process
Imitating their parents
List of DIFFERENT/COMPETING worldviews…94% of adults have a syncretistic worldview - a blending of views from two or more of the comprehensive worldview systems
Chapter 6 - Disciple-Making Practice #3
An equally important undertaking is to promote the fledgling disciple fully, and passionately integrating those beliefs into a Christlike lifestyle.The expansive impact of those attributes is an example of why discipling someone is not a quick process.
Spiritual fruit begins with evidence of personal transformation
Chapter 7 - Disciple-Making Practice #4
Accountability system
Find a spiritual mentor
Must be taught the importance of consistent SELF-EVALUATION
Introduce young followers to the still, small voice of the Lord…
Measurement toolsWorldview Assessments Spiritual Gifts
Personal Strengths Personality Attributes
Spiritual Growth and Maturity

Section TWO - The Four Principles of a Disciple
Section THREE - Families and Churches in Partnership
Section One - The Importance of Children
Chapter 1 - Making the Most of Your Life
Most young adults (54%) admit they often feel anxious, depressed, or unsafe
The Great Commitment is your promise to God that you will apply yourself to carrying out those challenges - with His authority, in His power, and for His glory
Parents have PRIMARY responsibility for the total well-being of their children - education, discipline, protection - but the most vital aspect of their development is spiritual formation.
Chapter 2 - Realigning Our Course Trajectory
Many embrace the label of “spiritual but not religious”
LESS than 1% of thirteen- and fourteen-year-old Americans have a biblical worldview
Parenting Tactics
Prioritizing spiritual development
Establishing inflexible Bible-based priorities and boundaries
Discipling each child
Influencing the choice of their friends
CONSISTENCY is the single, most important attribute…
Chapter 3 - Disciple-Making, Yes-But Why Disciple Children?
Who has the greatest impact/influence on our kids - the arts and entertainment media industry…Act of repetition
Peer acceptance
