25: Adopting a Coaching Mindset in Parenting with Kelly Hunt

In this episode, Chris Rivers speaks with Kelly Hunt about the changing roles of parenthood and how to effectively engage teenagers and young adults. Using the analogy of a coach, Kelly encourages listeners to guide their adult children from the “sidelines” while allowing them to feel the weight of responsibility and build confidence. APPLICATION: Read Luke 15:11-24. Looking at this passage from the perspective of the father, what is one thing you notice or can apply to your role as a parent? Are you currently operating as an authoritative parent or functioning more as a coach? Based on the stage of life your child is currently in, what shifts might you need to make? Think about a coach who has been influential in your life. What parallels can you make between their role and the role you have as a parent? How are you serving as an anchor in your children’s lives? What is one action step you can take to move towards your children and be available to them? If you know a man who would benefit from hearing this episode, share it with him.

What are some insights that stood out to you? In what ways do you allow Scripture to define and direct your life? How often do you spend time reading the Scriptures and routinely coming under the teaching of God’s Word? Can you think of a time when you saw a need in the church, possibly out of your comfort zone or area of giftedness, and moved into it? How did God direct you after you chose to take that first step? Do you have godly men who routinely pour into you and cast vision for your life? How are you looking for opportunities to be that voice in someone else’s life? SCRIPTURE REFERENCES One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you. For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.

19: How Should Men Think About Participating in the Local Church? with Blake Payne

In this episode, Chris Rivers and Brad Walbridge, along with Blake Payne, tackle the question, “how should men think about participation in the local church?” They explore the role of the local church in building community, grounding us biblically, teaching us to come under authority, and maturing us as believers. Share, listen, and then discuss the application, key ideas, and Scripture references in a one-on-one conversation or with a group of men by visiting: https://resources.gracechurchsc.org/podcasts/men-at-grace APPLICATION Do you believe the church is God’s primary design for spiritual growth? Why or why not? In what ways has the local church impacted you personally? Are you aware of your need for God and the church or have you become self-reliant and distracted? In what ways are you regularly pouring yourself out and creating a void? Do you spend consistent time in Scripture? How have you seen this practice serve as a means for “transforming your mind?” What does it look like to come under authority in the local church and in your relationship with God? Are you resistant to this type of authority in your life? SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position as a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Phillipians 2:6-8 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 RESOURCES Church Membership: How the World Knows Who Represents Jesus by Jonathan Leeaman If you know a man who would benefit from hearing this episode, share it with him.
