    Christian Parenting in a Post-Truth World

    In today's culture, raising children has become increasingly difficult—not because God's Word has changed, but because our world has rejected objective truth. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins explores the biblical calling of Christian parents to raise their children through discipleship rather than mere behavior management. Drawing from Scripture, this episode highlights how parenting is fundamentally about shaping the heart, grounding the home in God's Word, and modeling a life transformed by the gospel. Parents are called not only to provide, but to disciple—teaching their children to love Christ, discern truth, and walk faithfully in a confused age. This episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral encouragement, and gospel hope for parents in every season of life, reminding listeners that God's grace is sufficient and His design for the family remains good.

    Marriage as Covenant: Displaying the Gospel in the Home

    Marriage is not a social contract built on convenience, feelings, or personal fulfillment. It is a covenant designed by God to display the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues the February series Marriage and Family: God's Design for the Home by showing that marriage was created by God to reflect the covenant love between Christ and His church. Drawing from Genesis 2, Ephesians 5, and Malachi 2, this episode explains why marriage is about holiness before happiness and why covenant faithfulness—not emotional satisfaction—lies at the heart of biblical marriage. Dave addresses common cultural lies about marriage, the dangers of treating marriage as a contract, and the role of gospel-shaped love, repentance, forgiveness, and humility in sustaining marriages over time. He also offers pastoral encouragement for singles and those in struggling marriages, reminding listeners that the same grace that saves sinners is the grace that sustains marriages. This episode calls husbands and wives to root their love not in feelings, performance, or circumstances, but in the finished work of Christ, whose covenant love never fails.

    Biblical Womanhood: Strength, Wisdom, and Grace in Christ

    In a culture that confuses and distorts womanhood, God's Word provides clarity, hope, and freedom. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins teaches on biblical womanhood from Genesis 2, Titus 2, 1 Peter 3, and Proverbs 31, showing that womanhood is not weakness but strength rooted in Christ. This message explains God's good design for women as equal in dignity and worth, distinct in role and function, and called to flourish through obedience to Christ. Dave addresses cultural confusion, highlights the beauty of godly character, and emphasizes the vital role of intergenerational discipleship in the local church. Biblical womanhood is ultimately about Christlikeness — strength under God's authority, wisdom shaped by Scripture, and grace displayed in everyday faithfulness. When women root their identity in Christ and order their lives according to God's Word, they become builders of strong homes and faithful witnesses to the gospel. Key Scriptures: Genesis 2:18; Titus 2:3–5; 1 Peter 3:1–6; Proverbs 31:10–31; Psalm 127:1 For more episodes and biblical resources, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/

    Biblical Manhood: Servant Leadership, Responsibility, and Repentance

    In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues the February 2026 series Marriage & Family: God's Design for the Home by examining biblical manhood through the lens of Scripture. From God's original design in Genesis 2:15 to Christ-shaped leadership in Ephesians 5:25, this message shows that biblical manhood is neither harsh nor passive, but marked by responsibility, humility, repentance, and sacrificial love. Dave addresses the modern crisis of manhood, exposes the twin distortions of toxic and passive masculinity, and calls men to cultivate and guard what God has entrusted to them. Whether married or single, every man is called to lead with faithful presence, pursue holiness in private, embrace accountability, and serve others under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Key Scriptures: Genesis 2:15; Psalm 51; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 16:13–14; Ephesians 5:25–27; Titus 2:1–8; Proverbs 27:17.

    Created Male and Female: God’s Good Design

    In this opening episode of the February series Marriage and Family: God's Design for the Home, Dave Jenkins returns to Genesis 1–2 to address the foundation of human identity. In a culture marked by confusion about truth, gender, and meaning, Scripture gives clarity: God created humanity in His image, male and female, and declared His design very good. This episode explores what it means to be made in God's image, why identity begins with the Creator rather than the self, and how the gospel restores what sin has distorted. Drawing from Genesis, Romans, and the wider testimony of Scripture, Dave shows how God's design for men, women, marriage, and the family leads to human flourishing and reflects God's glory. Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 2:18–25; Romans 1; Romans 12:2; Colossians 1:16; Psalm 100:3; John 14:6 For more from Equipping You in Grace, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/

    Living Anchored for a Lifetime: Growing in Grace by Abiding in Christ

    In this final episode of the Anchored for a New Year series on Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins calls believers to a lifelong pattern of growth rooted not in self-effort, but in abiding in Christ. While the world promotes self-improvement and quick spiritual fixes, Scripture points us to a steadier path—remaining in Christ through His Word, prayer, and daily dependence on His grace. Drawing from John 15, Colossians 2:6–7, Galatians 2:20, and 2 Peter 3:18, this episode explains why true discipleship flows from union with Christ, not striving in the flesh. This episode addresses: • Why spiritual maturity is sustained by grace, not performance. • How abiding in Christ produces lasting fruit. • The danger of shallow faith and self-sufficiency. • What it means to grow in grace, knowledge, and mission over a lifetime. If you desire lasting spiritual growth, this episode will anchor your heart in Christ, the source, sustainer, and goal of the Christian life.

    Suffering Is Not Wasted

    Suffering is something every believer will face, yet Scripture teaches that it is never wasted in the hands of a sovereign and good God. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins explains how God uses trials to strengthen faith, refine character, and anchor believers in a hope that does not disappoint. Drawing from Romans 5:3–5 and James 1:2–4, this message shows that suffering is not a detour from spiritual growth but often the very means God uses to mature His people. While the world views pain as meaningless, the Word of God reveals it as purposeful—working endurance, steadfastness, and deeper dependence on Christ. This episode offers biblical clarity and encouragement for Christians walking through grief, loss, illness, or uncertainty, reminding them that God sees their pain and is faithfully at work for His glory and their good. Key Scriptures: Romans 5:3–5; James 1:2–4; Romans 8:28; Hebrews 6:19; Hebrews 4:15–16 For more from Equipping You in Grace, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/

    Christian Community Matters: Why Fellowship Is Essential

    In today's episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues the Anchored for a New Year series by addressing a vital truth: Christian community is essential for spiritual growth. We live in the most connected generation in history, yet many believers feel deeply isolated. Scripture never presents the Christian life as a solitary journey. God saves His people into a body, a family, a flock, designed to grow, serve, and persevere together. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why fellowship is not optional, but a God-given means of grace. • How the gospel transforms our view of relationships. • The danger of isolation and the call to biblical interdependence. • How discipleship, hospitality, and accountability strengthen the local church. • Encouragement for believers walking through loneliness or disconnection. Drawing from passages such as Ecclesiastes 4, Romans 12, Acts 2, Ephesians 4, and Hebrews 10, this episode calls Christians to recover a biblical vision of community that strengthens faith and displays Christ's love to the world.
