COURAGEOUS PARENTING

You can say you are intentional parents, but is your intentionality actually encouraging real faith, or performance-based faith that doesn't last? Conservative intentionality can still lead children down the deadly trough of performance-based religiosity. Listen to this with an open mind as you reflect on your own parenting and family rhythms and see if you discover opportunities to dismantle performance-based faith and encourage real faith in your children.
There's nothing as important as where your children will spend eternity, and while you can't save your children and are to trust God with them, He's also trusting you with them. He's counting on you and your spouse to disciple them daily with an approach that reaches the heart — not just looks the part.
Topics: Christian parenting, raising kids with real faith, performance-based religion, heart-level discipleship, intentional parenting, family rhythms, homeschool family, faith that lasts.

What do you do when your child hurts someone they love — and doesn't seem to get it? This episode gives you a biblical framework for coaching your kids through sin in real time, not just correcting behavior but shaping their heart toward repentance, restoration, and genuine change.

In this episode:
Why in-the-moment discipleship is more powerful than after-the-fact lectures
How to coach your child toward owning their sin rather than deflecting it
Practical language you can use to guide your child through repairing a relationship
Why loving others biblically starts with what we teach at home

Are you becoming more intentional as a parent but struggling to find a strong biblical community? Perhaps you're not meant to find it — you're meant to cultivate it.

Do you ever feel like your parenting just isn't working — no matter how hard you try?
For Christian parents today, conviction erodes quietly. Consistency breaks down across the areas that matter most: discipline, discipleship, screen time, peer and family influences, reaching your kids' hearts, and handling bad attitudes. And the pressure of an increasingly hostile culture only makes it harder.
In this episode, Isaac and Angie Tolpin identify the 3 core mistakes fueling discouragement in Christian parents right now — and give practical wisdom and personal stories on how to overcome them. They also share content from their new book Courageous Parenting, releasing June 2nd, 2026.
If you're a Christian mom or dad who's tired of feeling like you're failing, or want to sharpen your focus, marriage alignment and follow through, this episode is for you.

Humility about your parenting is the beginning of a catalyst to new growth and fruitfulness in your mission at home. When you model humility, long term you will see it help your family stay united despite conflict or disagreements. They must see it while they are young to be it in their own relationship when they get older. Isaac and Angie just returned from giving 12 messages at two conferences to parents over the last couple of weeks and while none of those messages were about Church, they made small comments within some of them about the importance of biblical community. Surprisingly, the questions they received the most were about the age-integrated Church they planted in Idaho. People are starving for real authentic community with people running the race in the same direction. Join the Tolpins as they recorded this the morning after the last conference from their hotel room with so many fresh perspectives to share.
