Outside Eden by Theocast Theoecast

Jon and Judith Moffitt walk through the everyday struggles and mistakes couples make when they think about marriage. We often don’t assume there will be struggles or problems because we have bought into the lie that love will be what keeps us together. The Moffitts present a biblical and Christ’s centered view of marriage in this first episode.

Jon and Judith Moffitt help parents find the purpose and joy of parenting from a biblical perspective. We are all guilty of parenting our children based on the public perspective (what others will think of me because of our kids). We often get angry with our children because they cause discomfort. This is not what God has called us to love and teach our children. The Moffitts use their own mistakes in parenting to help guide you to think through how to love and care for your children from a Christ-centered perspective.   

We all fall into arguments as couples, but do we have a plan to resolve them? How should the gospel and biblical wisdom guide our sinful hearts when our passions don’t align? Jon and Judith walk through several helpful examples based on biblical principles that will help couples find their way through disagreements with compassion, love, and unity.

Our words are powerful. We often use them to cut and manipulate. When we are not careful with our words, we can cause lasting damage. Our words can also be how we love and build each other up. It is important to reflect love and mercy in our words to our spouse and children. Jon and Judith provide helpful insights and examples of what this could look like.

Peter calls us to be "watchful" because there is an "adversary" who seeks to devour (1 Pet 5:8). Our homes are not immune to this warning. We often live oblivious to our children's dangers simply because we can't see them. In this episode, Jon and Judith discuss how to help prepare your children to face the many threats brought to them through life and how to lead your children toward the joy of loving and serving Christ in the kingdom. At the end of the episodes, they answer one of your questions about starting too late in your parenting.
