Patriarchy and Feminism: A Miserable Misrepresentation of True Masculinity and Femininity

God’s design of male and female is a beautiful one. We were created in the image of God to function differently — but we are of equal worth in the eyes of our Creator. God has given us a clear chain of command in Scripture, starting with God the Father. When we do not honor God’s clear chain of authority, anarchy results. Today, we’re looking at creation and how God has given us different roles from the beginning. We are called to humility as men and women under authority, submitted to our head, which is Christ.

Sex and the Married Woman: An Honest Discussion with Sheila Wray Gregoire

Ginger Hubbard

“Did you really just say that?” I can’t even count how many times I have thought or said this in a moment of frustration and anger with one of my children. Yes, parenting is hard work — but Ginger Hubbard offers life-giving, practical solutions that even busy parents can implement today by pointing our children (and ourselves) back to the ultimate parenting manual: The Bible. This is one of my favorite podcasts ever—tune in! You will be glad you did. Scriptures Mentioned James 1:5 Matthew 12:34 Psalm 51:5 Galatians 6:9  A Blog Post from Ginger: 3 Steps to Taming Your Child’s Tongue  GINGER HUBBARD is a sought-after speaker, author, and an award-winning writer. She has spoken at hundreds of parenting conferences, mom’s events, and homeschool conventions across the country. She is a veteran homeschooling mother of two adult children and stepmom to two much-adored stepsons. She and her husband reside in Opelika, Alabama. I Can’t Believe You Just Said That!: Biblical Wisdom for Taming Your Child’s Tongue: Are you ever embarrassed or shocked by what comes out of your child’s mouth? Do you raise your voice, threaten, and coerce, but find yourself frustrated because nothing seems to work? In I Can’t Believe You Just Said That!, Ginger Hubbard provides a practical, three-step plan to reach beyond the behaviors of tongue-related struggles—such as lying, tattling, and whining—to address your child’s heart. After all, as Matthew 12:34 tells us, “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” By moving past the idea that parenting is about rigid rule-setting or behavior management, we can set aside ineffective practices such as scolding, ignoring the offense, or merely administering punishment. Instead, we start to see that our children’s outbursts are prime opportunities for the ultimate goal of all parenting: to guide them to the redemptive work of Jesus and his transformational power. a Rafflecopter giveaway   ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heidistjohn/message
