    LTWT 024: Preparing for Parenthood

    “God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we could have life more abundantly. That’s our primary goal – to help our children see that and understand that through what we teach them, what we show them in how we treat them, and how we treat one another in our marriage relationship. As they see that, they can learn to love God and learn to love His Word, and we know that has the best chance of setting them up for success in life.” This episode gives an insightful look into transitioning into parenthood with a unique and pragmatic interview conducted by Hunter Mullins.

    LTWT 021: A God-Centered Approach to Engagement and Premarital Preparations

    “One of the things I thought about recently from one of the authors that I use, I think Dr. Ed Wheat, he says that marriage, you know, a loving, committed marriage, is a function of time and will.

Nik Maxson, a minister who has significant experience in Christian premarital counseling for engaged couples. They talk about some of the fundamentals of how an engaged couple can prepare for marriage, both physically and spiritually. And Rev.

    LTWT 020: The Challenges of Christian Dating

    “Even if [dating is] harder because you’re holding boundaries where other people seem to have none, so you don’t necessarily fit in, your life is an example of what’s available. And your life will be an example of all the blessings currently and in the future of the dividends you get from actually living according to God’s Word.” Listen in as ministers Sierra Bergman, Lauren Boner, and Audrey Latta delve into some of the more challenging aspects of Christian dating.

    LTWT 018: Generation to Generation

    “[Mentoring] is not getting [others] to do what you want them to do or what you can even maybe see them doing. It’s to help them pursue what they want to for God.” The mentor/mentee relationship is shown in many places throughout God’s Word. It’s seen in relationships like that of Paul and Timothy, for example. This pattern of teaching and training is important for God’s people in order to keep the Word thriving in an area. So what are some effective ways to teach and train? What are some challenges that come up in teaching and training the next generation? What are some things that young people have to offer as we all live together in this Body of Christ? Join Adam Barlow and Rev. Bill Greene as they explore these topics and more. Both speak from personal experiences and their own time together as mentor and mentee. Want to gain insight into effective ways to teach and train? Tune in!
