Full Quiver Parenting with Lydia & Steven Braun! Here we talk about the importance of parenting that takes God at His Word so that when we face trials and opposition and meet our enemies at the gate, we are prepared to do battle with the spiritual powers of darkness, demolishing strongholds and arguments as we take every thought captive for Christ. A full quiver is not a number, but a spirit of openness to welcome the children God gives us whether of our own flesh, through adoption, or of spiritual descent.

    Are We Designed to Provide?

    What if one of our deepest assumptions about family, work, and provision isn’t actually rooted in Scripture? From the very beginning in Genesis, God never commands humanity to provide—He commands us to steward what He has already provided. Yet after the fall, toil entered the story, and many of us have come to believe that the weight of supplying every need rests entirely on our shoulders. In this episode, we discuss what the Bible actually says about provision, stewardship, and our role within God’s Kingdom. Scripture Passages Discussed in this Episode Genesis 1-3 Ruth 4 Psalm 127 1 Timothy 5:3-16 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13

    The Currency of Seed

    What is the value of children?  In a world that has more children in slavery than at any other time of history, children are spent like currency more now than ever in the physical realm.  But what is the true value of children, the blessing of new generations in the kingdom of heaven? Inspired by the work of Dr. Francis Myles on the mystery of blood money and what the true currency of heaven is (humanity), we explore the biblical concept of the currency of seed (offspring) as another currency of heaven and how seed is being spent in ways against God’s design and how He intends for seed to be spent.  The Lord is seeking a godly offspring (Malachi 2:15) and if the dragon sought to devour the child (Revelation 12:4), so shall he seek to do as his ways of warfare are to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Towards the end of this episode, we get into some discussion on the topic of demonic activity and sexual immorality and how the forces of darkness seek to steal and pervert the currency of seed that may be too intense for children.  We recommend that parents listen to that section on their own first.  There is a warning before we enter into that portion of the discussion.

    Parenting and the Altar of Self-Reliance

    Altars, arrows, the Arrow of the Lord, darts from the enemy and the economy of spiritual  warfare.  What do these things have to do with parenting? Much more than the forces of spiritual darkness would like us to think!  In this episode, we challenge the economies of parenting and specifically the deconstruction of the altar of self-reliance.  Many parents can find themselves under its pervasive control over how their family is run and controlled in their thoughts and decision making processes from a debt that is owed to this altar and system of sacrifice. The easiest way to win a battle is to make sure that the enemy never has a weapon to fight with.  This is the strategy of the enemy in spiritual warfare as the accumulating debt to the altar of self-reliance in parenting, eventually leads to the cost of our arrows.  We take thoughts captive for Christ to reveal these altars in parenting and replace it with the altar to the Lord in our minds for parenting that relies on the strength of the Lord.  It’s time to take back what the enemy is stealing from parents!

    Table Talk 02 - Church, Cults & Breech Births

    We continue our unofficial side series, "Table Talk." These are "out of the studio" recordings from live conversations that we've shared together on social media on topics that pertain to Christian Parenting and taking thoughts captive for Christ. The audio comes from direct recordings of our mobile devices so the recording quality does not match that of our regular episodes. We hope that you enjoy these conversations with us around the table! In this discussion, we talk about how churches have departed from God’s design in selecting leaders, swearing oaths, and some cult-like behaviors that have crept in throughout history, as well as a discussion on birthing whose hands are receiving our children into the world.

    The Burden of Parenting

    What do you do momma when you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and worn out as a parent?  When you feel like there’s just not enough energy and resources to go around and you don’t feel like you have any more to give? You turned to that friend, family member, or seasoned mother you’ve seen live through the stages that you’re in right now and share how you’re feeling right now, and the response is, “maybe you shouldn’t have had so many,” or “have you thought about stopping having kids?” In this episode, we discuss the biblical framework of "bearing one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2) and how God has designed the family to function in serving one another in love, with the father of the house setting the example, and the community of believers is called to uphold the struggling members of the body of Christ in serving and loving weary families. Scripture Passages to Explore Philippians 2 Ephesians 5:21-33 John 13:12-17 Matthew 11:25-30 Galatians 6:1-4 Mark 10:43-45 Resources Mentioned in this Podcast: Kingdom Family: Re-Envisioning God’s Plan for Marriage and Family - Book by Trevecca Okholm He Giveth More Grace - Hymn by Annie Johnson Flint Designed to Birth - ECourse by Lydia Braun Full Quiver Parenting - Episode 6: At the Limit

    Why We Speak: Taking Thoughts Captive

    Why Full Quiver Parenting? In this episode, we dive into the heart behind this podcast and what the purpose is behind the things that we talk about.  In our family, we have found that taking God at His word has massive implications in everything that we do.  We want to know the heart of the Father as Jesus Christ has revealed Him and to live according to His designs.  It's not just about doing the "right things," but it's about the relationship that we have with God and how that shapes our hearts and our minds.   When God says that "Children are a blessing," we want to live in such a way as to know and experience the blessings of God in having children. The former generations of the church in America sold their birthright when it comes to the areas of family, marriage, provision (and so much more).  And our heart is to take the thoughts captive for Christ, that the enemy used to turn the church away from God's designs and demolish the arguments that now hold the current generations in a bondage of iniquity. Join us as we take thoughts captive for Christ! For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the tearing down of strongholds,  as we tear down speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5  Resources Mentioned in this Podcast: Deep End Podcast - The War on Generational Curses

    The Spirit of Natural Family Planning

    What does it look like to partner with God in our fertility? Oftentimes, phrases like, "we want to be good stewards of our fertility," and, "God has given us wisdom so that we can discern when the right time is for having a child," and even, "we need to make sure that we are taking good care of what God has already given us before we add more," accompany discussions around natural family planning.  But what if we are having the wrong discussion to begin with?  What if we aren't meant to be the one at the control switch for planning out our family size and timing at all? In this episode, we'll be exploring what is at the core of natural family planning and if it matches with what we find in scripture.  Get ready for a long discussion, lots of Bible passages, and an exploration into the heart of God and His design for us in marriage and family and how we can worship and sacrifice to God in offering ourselves, even our marriage and fertility, to Him in surrendering to His will and control. Passages of Scripture for Study: Genesis 1:28; 9:1; 9:7; 35:11  Genesis 38:8-10 Exodus 21:10 Deuteronomy 6:6-17 Jeremiah 29:4-7 Romans 12:1-2 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 Hebrews 13:4

    Table Talk 01 - Surrogacy and Adoption

    We break our podcasting hiatus with an unofficial side series that we're titling, "Table Talk." These are "out of the studio" recordings from live conversations that we've shared together on social media on topics that pertain to Christian Parenting and taking thoughts captive for Christ. The audio comes from direct recordings of our mobile devices so the recording quality does not match that of our regular episodes. We hope that you enjoy these conversations with us around the table! In this discussion, we talk about the differences between adoption and surrogacy and how the latter is a distortion of the family and functions as a glamorized form of trafficking that has been disastrous from the time of Abram and Sarai, who sought to take matters into their own hands for childbearing with the birth of Ishmael through her maidservant Hagar.
