Passing Our Faith to the Next Generation (with Laura Wifler and Amy Gannett)

They talk about the atmosphere in their own homes growing up and the importance of passing on—in addition to knowledge—a delight in the things of God. They encourage moms who might feel awkward talking to their kids about their own faith, and they share some favorite resources they’ve used with their own children. Resources Mentioned: Barna study on church attendance in childhood First Catechism Teaching Theology to Young Children (Melissa’s thoughts on teaching the catechism) Slugs and Bugs, Sing the Bible Tiny Theologians Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God by Marty Machowski Dispatches from the Front Related Resources: Parenting with Hope in an Anxious Age A Theological Vision for Discipling the Next Generation Redeem the Drive Time: Audio Resources for Families The Good News Family Devotional by Mike and Melissa Kruger DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1.

Rerun: Kitchen Table Counseling

Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk about how to seek out the counsel of wise friends and how to respond well when friends seek your counsel. They discuss how to ask good questions, how to deliver a gentle rebuke when necessary, how to follow up on requests for accountability, and how to point someone to Scripture without treating it like a Bible Band-Aid. Listen prayerfully to prepare yourself for opportunities that arise to bear one another’s burdens.

Prioritize Your Soul in a Post-Truth World (TGC Classic)

Based on concepts from his book The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World, Brett McCracken teaches on how to become wise in a world that offers too much information, too quickly. McCracken addresses an issue of today's generation of quick information—how to develop wisdom amid all that's being thrown at us online. He shares three things that are making us sick: 1. We have too much information. 2. We receive it too quickly. 3. The information is too focused on the individual (self). Instead, of going with the flow of our post-truth world, McCracken counsels that we should go online for a purpose, stay online only as long as we need to, and then go offline.

New Resources Help You See God by Connecting Scripture (with Ben Gladd)

Different preachers get excited about different aspects of the sermon. Some collect and deploy excellent illustrations. Others just nail the application week after week. Others can really reach your heart.

AI: Friend or Foe? (with Michael Graham)

Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk with Michael Graham about what Christians should know about artificial intelligence. They discuss the benefits it could bring to society and how they personally use it. They consider theological categories and questions for how to evaluate which uses are helpful and which are dangerous. Finally, Graham explains the Christian Benchmark project and how it exposes the inherent biases in AI platforms. Key Terms: Generative AI: Large language models (LLM) that can simulate conversation and create audio, video, and text based on prompts (ChatGPT, Anthropic, Claude, and Grok). Agentic AI: Systems that are semi- or fully autonomous and thus able to perceive, reason, and act on their own. Resources Mentioned: What Is Tri-perspectivalism? by John Frame Mindset by Carol S. Dweck AI Christian Benchmark Project Related Resources: ‘Not a Child-Safe Technology’ 3 Questions to Evaluate AI Use Can You Rely on AI for Theology? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Before listening to this episode, what was your view of AI (benefit, threat, or neutral)? Has that perspective changed? 2. What are some ways AI can be used for good in work, ministry, or everyday life? 3. Are there certain uses of AI that concern you? Why? 4. Why is it important to realize that AI isn’t a neutral source? How does that shape the way you interact with it? 5. How can we help younger generations develop discernment in addition to skills when it comes to AI? 6. What does it look like to trust God’s sovereignty in times of rapid cultural and technological change? 7. What’s one step you would like to take in using technology intentionally and faithfully? Let this Mother’s Day be a reminder that she deserves care, too.
