    #108. The Source of True Wisdom for Christian Moms | Parenting Lessons From Solomon’s Life: 1 Kings 2-4

    Listen to this week's episode of the Again podcast for a clear gospel illustration and a sneak peek of our content for couples! Re-evaluate your When/Where Statement by signing up for our Dwelling Place updates. In today’s episode of The Dwelling Place, Stephanie Hickox walks through 1 Kings chapters 2–4, reflecting on the death of King David, Solomon’s prayer for wisdom, and the powerful parenting lessons woven throughout these chapters of Scripture. As David gives his final charge to Solomon, we’re reminded that true strength is found in obedience to God’s Word. Stephanie unpacks the encouragement and warnings found in Solomon’s early reign — from his humility in asking God for wisdom to the compromises that later revealed his need for a greater King: Jesus Christ. This episode is filled with biblical encouragement for Christian moms, parents, and families seeking to raise children who walk faithfully with the Lord. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ David’s final words to Solomon and what they teach our children ✨ Why obedience to God defines true strength ✨ Solomon’s humility and prayer for wisdom ✨ Parenting with biblical truth and discernment ✨ The dangers of compromise and worldly influence ✨ Honoring parents and authority figures ✨ Why Scripture points us beyond human heroes to Jesus ✨ Encouragement to stay faithful in reading God’s Word this summer Stephanie also shares heartfelt applications for motherhood and parenting, encouraging moms to train children to find their identity in Christ rather than achievements, success, wealth, or worldly recognition. Key Bible passages: 1 Kings 2–4Solomon asking God for wisdomDavid’s charge to “be strong” by obeying GodThe wisdom of the two mothers and the living childGod’s warnings about wealth, power, and compromise If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have parenting figured out, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God delights in humble hearts that continually seek Him for wisdom and guidance. Whether you’re studying the Bible chronologically, raising young children, parenting teens, or simply longing to grow deeper in your faith, this episode will encourage you to keep coming back to God’s Word.

    #106. David, the Danger of Passive Parenting, and Raising Children Who Need Jesus | 1 Kings 1, Psalm 37, 71, 94

    What happens when parents refuse to correct their children? And what can Christian moms and dads learn from David’s failures as a father? In this episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox begins the book of First Kings while weaving together powerful encouragement from Psalms 37, 71, and 94. As Israel transitions from King David to Solomon, we see another son rise up in rebellion—Adonijah exalting himself and attempting to seize the throne. But hidden within the story is a sobering statement about David’s parenting: “His father had never at any time displeased him…” This episode dives deep into: Biblical parenting and loving disciplineWhy children need guidance, correction, and truthThe danger of passive parentingTrusting God during overwhelming seasons of motherhoodWhat Psalm 37 really means when it says, “Delight yourself in the Lord”God’s faithfulness even when earthly leaders fail If you’re a Christian parent navigating chaos, exhaustion, discouragement, or the pressure of “May-cember,” this conversation offers biblical wisdom, encouragement, and hope rooted firmly in God’s Word. In This Episode:Introduction to the book of 1 KingsWhy Israel faced judgment and exileAdonijah’s rebellion against King DavidDavid’s parenting failure and lack of disciplineSolomon anointed as kingPsalm 37 encouragement for anxious heartsBiblical discipline versus modern parenting cultureHelping children understand their need for JesusTrusting God in busy and overwhelming seasons Key Scriptures Mentioned:1 Kings 1Psalm 37Psalm 71Psalm 94Psalm 37:4Psalm 94:12Psalm 94:9 Encouragement for Christian Moms:If you feel overwhelmed by motherhood, discouraged by your own shortcomings, or burdened by the responsibility of pointing your children to Christ, this episode is a reminder that God sees, God hears, and God faithfully works through imperfect parents. Instead of simply changing our circumstances, the Lord often uses them to shape our character—and the character of our children.

    #102. 1 Chronicles 23-24, Psalm 108, 109, 110 | The Priest King Who Will Reign Forever

    First, we'll watch a king establish the priestly duties, then we'll reflect on how we righteously handle our anger, And then we'll conclude with the only king who was also a warrior and a priest. In the last episode, David brought an abundance of gold and silver And much of what Solomon would need to build a dwelling place for the Lord. It wouldn't just be a tent anymore. God was allowing Solomon to build him a temple. If you're a student of history, you know that we can't really call this a permanent dwelling place, but it would be much more secure than a tent. At first glance, these chapters and chronicles might make you feel, " Oh, no, are we diving back into genealogies again?" But they're actually revealing a strength of David's that's often not noticed...

    #101. 2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 21-22, and Psalm 30, 97-99 | Taking Great Pains to Pave the Way for Our Kids To Serve the LORD

    Today, our Bible reading plan covers 2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 21-22, and then Psalms 30, 97-99. We'll see a loving parent setting their child up to worship the Lord. We'll also have confirmation that though His anger is for a moment, God's favor is for a lifetime. How clearly is that displayed in the life of David?! Our first narrative for today displays one of the most controversial differences in scripture, but it's by no means a discrepancy! See this article from "Desiring God" for more clarity.
