    Teaching Proverbs 6:12–15 to Your Family | The Worthless Man

    Let’s learn the ways of a troublemaker. In this episode, Isaac walks through Proverbs 6:12–15 and shows dads how to teach their families to recognize the worthless man, guard their own hearts, and avoid becoming the kind of person who sows discord. Solomon describes a wicked man who goes about with crooked speech, winking with his eyes, signaling with his feet, and pointing with his finger. He’s busy, but busy doesn’t equal productive. We talk about the victim mindset, what it is and why it’s so destructive, and how this man blames others, causes conflict with his words, and never sees his own sluggard ways. With a perverted heart he devises evil and continually sows discord, and calamity comes upon him suddenly, broken beyond healing. If our heart is wrong, our actions sow destruction. We talk with our kids about sharing their possessions, times we’ve caused someone else to stumble, and how to be ready, because troublemakers will be near you in the future. Plus, RM Tips from Episode 43: 5 Entrepreneurship Lessons to Teach Your Kids.

    Teaching Proverbs 6:6–11 to Your Family | Go to the Ant

    God uses an ant as an example for us to follow. Want to hear why? In this episode, Isaac walks through Proverbs 6:6–11 and shows dads how to teach their families the kind of character that works hard without needing a boss standing over them. “Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.” The ant has no chief, officer, or ruler, yet she prepares her food in summer and gathers in harvest. We talk about what character really is, the difference between proactive and reactive living, and why most people only see what’s right in front of them while the wise plan ahead, including with their finances by saving and investing. Then Solomon asks, “How long will you lie there, O sluggard?” A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands. Small things matter. Every decision accumulates, and you are forging a path by the choices you make. Small, weak decisions pile up until poverty arrives like a robber and want like an armed man. Isaac shares a simple family example about keeping rooms clean and why it’s vital to raise kids who learn to be proactive. Plus, RM Tips from Episode 42: 5 Keys to Helping Your Wife Do Hard Things. Start with yourself, be helpful and believe in her, encourage her spiritually, build trust, and speak the right words in the right moments. Want more help raising kids with strong character?

    Teaching Proverbs 6:1–5 to Your Family | Free Yourself From Foolish Promises

    Ever said yes to something, then felt the weight of that promise pressing on you for months? In this episode, Isaac walks through Proverbs 6:1–5 and shows dads how to teach their families to avoid foolish promises and get free from the traps they’ve already stepped into. Solomon warns his son about putting up security for a neighbor and pledging for a stranger, being snared by the words of your own mouth. A careless promise is dangerous. Be careful what you tie yourself to, and let your yes be yes and your no be no. It takes time to see the fruit in someone’s life, so learn to pause, pray, and talk it over before you commit. We share practical ways to buy time instead of giving an instant yes, and why kids should run big decisions by their parents. And if you’ve already made the mistake? Proverbs says don’t sleep on it. Go, hasten, and plead urgently to be released. Sluggish Christians lose. We talk about how to humbly admit you agreed to something you shouldn’t have, and Isaac shares a story from his own life. Like a gazelle from the hunter or a bird from the fowler, a resolute man takes fast action to escape the traps evil sets for him. Plus, RM Tips from Episode 41: So Your Wife Wants to Start Homeschool? Face the fears honestly, remember the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, and educate your kids for unprecedented times. If your wife wants to homeschool, support her and believe in her.

    Teaching Proverbs 5:20–23 to Your Family | Held Fast by the Cords

    Sin is a delusion. It intoxicates, clouds judgment and leads to bad decisions. In Proverbs 5:20–23, Solomon closes the chapter with a sobering truth: God sees every path, and sin turns a choice into a chain. In this episode, Isaac walks through how to teach your family that integrity is what you do when no one’s looking, how sin wraps cords around a person the more it’s normalized, and that the real problem isn’t the temptation but a lack of discipline and a refusal to listen to wisdom. Jesus breaks the cords, but we’re responsible to walk in His freedom. You’ll learn: • What “intoxicated” means and how sin deceives • Why God pondering all our paths is an act of love • How a single lie or sin becomes a rope that ties you up • Why the real problem is lack of discipline, not the temptation • How Jesus sets us free, and our responsibility to walk in it Plus Resolute Man tips from Episode 39: Discouraged But Not Beaten 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 5:20–23 Resources: 💊 The vitamins of choice for the Tolpin family: Previnex.

    Teaching Proverbs 5:15–19 to Your Family | Drink From Your Own Well

    God isn’t against you enjoying life. He’s for it, on the righteous path. In Proverbs 5:15–19, Solomon turns from warning to wonder, showing that God’s design for love, attraction and intimacy belongs inside marriage. In this episode, Isaac walks through how to teach your family not to covet what belongs to someone else, why exclusivity with your eyes and actions matters, how to warn kids about porn, and why who you marry is the second most important decision you’ll ever make. When you desire what’s right, you stop desiring what’s wrong. You’ll learn: • Why God is for your joy, on His path • What it means to covet, and how to treat someone’s future spouse • How to teach your kids about the danger of porn • Why marriage calls for total loyalty with your eyes and actions • Why Scripture uses water to picture marriage Plus Resolute Man tips from Episode 38: Success Principles for the Future of Work with Tim Harris 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 5:15–19 Resources: 💊 The vitamins of choice for the Tolpin family: Previnex.

    Teaching Proverbs 5:9–14 to Your Family | How I Hated Discipline

    Teaching Proverbs 5:9–14 to Your Family | How I Hated Discipline Sin always sends a bill, and Proverbs 5:9–14 shows exactly what it costs: your honor, your years, your strength and your legacy. In this episode, Isaac walks through Solomon's sobering warnings and how to teach your family that obedience to God protects them. At the end of a wasted life, the man doesn't blame the temptation. He says, "How I hated discipline." A prideful heart that won't listen to wisdom leads to ruin, and secret sin always gets exposed. You'll learn: • Why your honor and your time are worth protecting • How people will try to use you, and why obedience to God protects you • Why you reap what you sow, especially with sexual sin • How a prideful heart that refuses correction leads to destruction • Why secret sin gets exposed, and how God uses it to draw us back Plus Resolute Man tips from Episode 37: 5 Tips To Leading When Your Wife Is Strong 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 5:9–14 Resources: 💊 The vitamins of choice for the Tolpin family: Previnex.

    Teaching Proverbs 5:5–8 to Your Family | The Importance of Boundaries

    Temptation always looks good while hiding where it leads. In Proverbs 5:5–8, Solomon moves from the lips of the temptress to her feet: what someone does, and where they’re headed, reveals the truth. In this episode, Isaac walks through how to teach your family three things. Sexual sin leads to death. Drifting without vision leads to waywardness. And distance is a better strategy than trying to withstand temptation. You’ll learn: • Why temptation hides its destination • How a lack of vision leads to drifting and blindness to sin • Solomon’s family charge: listen, and don’t depart • Why boundaries matter, plus a practical example to model for your kids Plus Resolute Man tips from Episode 36: Why We Must Be Resolute; Are You? 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 5:5–8 Resources: 💊 The vitamins of choice for the Tolpin family: Previnex.

    Teaching Proverbs 5:1–4 to Your Family | Honey Words, Bitter Ends

    Don’t feel capable of leading your family spiritually? You don’t have to be an expert. The power is in Scripture itself. Open it, read it with your kids, and let God’s Word do the work. In these verses, a father warns his son about words that taste sweet at first but end in bitterness, and teaches him to think ahead like a chess player. In this episode, you’ll learn how to teach Proverbs 5:1–4 to your children, so they turn toward wisdom, guard what they say, and recognize smooth, flattering words that lead somewhere bad. In this episode: ✅ Being attentive is an action: turning toward wisdom ✅ Discretion is thinking ahead, weighing choices to find the best path, like chess ✅ Guarding knowledge: protect what’s true and wise, with no leaks and no twisting ✅ Think before you talk ✅ Be careful who you listen to, even the attractive, and sometimes especially them ✅ Flattery and persuasion: learning to trust your gut ✅ It’s not how things start, it’s how they finish, so think it through ✅ The two-edged sword: sweet speech that cuts both the speaker and the hearer Family discussion questions: “Have you ever had someone say really nice things to get you to do something? How did it turn out?” “In chess, why do good players think several moves ahead? How could that help us make choices?” Family challenge: Play a game of chess or checkers together this week. Before each move, say out loud what might happen next. Afterward, read Proverbs 5:1–4 and talk about how thinking ahead protects us from sweet-sounding words with bitter endings. Also in this episode: Tips from Ep. 35, A Winning Mindset That Excludes Worldliness with Adam Loomis: guard what shapes your mind, small compromises grow but repentance restores, and lead with relationship and refuse to quit.
