Joyful Journey

We want to make it easy for our children to choose righteousness. It's not our job to MAKE them choose righteousness, but as Christian parents, we want to intentionally create an environment in our home that showcases the beauty and superiority of God's ways. So how do we go about doing that? In part one of our mini-series on Parenting, Janet and Jocelyn discuss the foundational principles of how to parent biblically.

Everywhere we turn, the world is bombarding us with ideas about sexuality. How should we as Christians be thinking about sex? This week Janet and Jocelyn tackle the tough subject of human sexuality. Christians often tend to shy away from this issue, while the world talks about it constantly. How should our Biblical worldview shape the way we view sexuality? What does God have to say about it, and how can we honor Him while living in a fallen world? Episode Transcript Resources: Books/PDFs What’s the Difference?
