    #117. SNEAK PEEK: COUPLES LESSON #1: Teaching Kids About Jesus | A Gospel-Centered Parenting Conversation

    Raising Children for Christ Starts With the Gospel Welcome to Again Podcast — because what moms do over and over matters to God. In this powerful episode, Stephanie Hickox sits down with Betsy and David Corning to talk about the true foundation of Christian parenting: faith in Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be entrusted with children by God? How can moms faithfully point their children to Jesus in the ordinary, repetitive rhythms of motherhood? And what hope is there for parents who feel like they started too late? Together, this conversation explores the heart of biblical parenting, discipleship, and salvation—reminding weary moms that their children ultimately belong to the Lord, and that God faithfully works through imperfect parents who depend on Him. This episode also includes a clear Gospel presentation through the “Bridge Illustration,” walking step-by-step through Scripture to explain: Why we were created for relationship with GodHow sin separates us from HimWhy Jesus Christ is the only way to salvationWhat it means to repent and believeHow the Gospel transforms motherhood, marriage, and family life If you’ve ever wondered: “Am I failing as a Christian mom?”“Is it too late to spiritually lead my family?”“How do I point my children to Jesus?”“What does faithful motherhood actually look like?” —this episode offers biblical encouragement, Gospel hope, and practical wisdom for everyday motherhood. In This Episode:What it means to be entrusted with children by GodWhy children ultimately belong to the LordParenting as stewardship, not ownershipEncouragement for moms who feel overwhelmed or discouragedWhy “godly parenting” begins with surrender to JesusHope for parents who were never discipled themselvesWhy it is never too late to spiritually lead your childrenThe power of prayer in motherhood and family lifeThe Bridge Gospel Illustration explained simplySalvation through grace by faith in Jesus Christ alone Key Scriptures Mentioned:Psalm 127:13 John 1:41 Corinthians 3:11Genesis 1:27Isaiah 59:2Romans 3:23Romans 6:23Hebrews 9:27John 5:24Ephesians 2:8–9John 14:61 Peter 3:18Romans 10:91 John 5:11–12Revelation 3:20 Perfect For:Christian moms seeking encouragementBiblical parenting conversationsMoms discipling children at homeChristian motherhood podcastsFamilies wanting Christ-centered homesWomen growing in faith while raising childrenMoms learning how to share the Gospel with their kids If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share Again Podcast with another mom who needs Gospel-centered encouragement today.

    #116. Do Christian Parents in a Digital Age Still Need to Know Where to Look in their Bibles? "Get the Word Out" Chapter Summary Statements with Author Betsy Corning

    Today Author and Entrusted Ministries Founder Betsy Corning and I talk about another tool with our Bible study method, Get the Word Out. What's so great is that each of these tools help you think about the Word of God and understand it in a different way! Today, we're talking about chapter summary statements and chapter summaries because recently in my parenting, there was a situation with my son where he was struggling to honor an authority figure in his life. I wanted to guide him with the Word of God, and I was so thankful that I knew to pull out 1 Peter chapter 2 to display Jesus' submission to authority and tell my son what God's expectations of him were. I know I could have Googled it or pulled out my phone, but I think it would've completely distracted us from our conversation. We know you are so busy, but this might be a simple tool that you could enact to help you disciple your children well. We'll keep this episode nice and brief because we wanna equip you and help you get back to all the things! Interested in reading about Get the Word Out? Or you can listen! Learn more about our color-coding system here. And don't forget our favorite parenting study: Entrusted with a Child's Heart!

    #112. The Christian Parenting Study Your Church Is Looking For: Why Entrusted with a Child’s Heart Helps YOU as a Pastor or Ministry Leader

    We know a lot of churches and Ministries are thinking about the study they'll be using in the fall. We realize it takes a lot of research before a church commits to a year long study--as it should! We're so thankful that churches are diligent to find truly biblical resources. We want to explain that Entrusted with a Child's Heart was created to help serve the church staff and provide a ministry for moms, setting the stage for Titus 2 discipleship to occur. This episode is something you could send a pastor, elder, or women's ministry leader to explain why you think and Entrusted would really bless your church! It'll be brief, but hopefully it'll provide you with the main benefits of bringing this thorough, Scripture-saturated study to your church or group of moms.
