BIBLICAL FAMILY IN A PROGRESSIVE CULTURE

Listen

SEPTEMBER 3, 2026

Should Christians Use Birth Control?

Is family planning biblical, and should Christians use birth control? Tony and Bre dig into how different Christian traditions have approached this, what Scripture actually says (and doesn't), and four biblical principles to help you think it through for yourself. If you've ever wondered about this but felt weird asking out loud — this episode's for you.

The Warning Lights Every Marriage Ignores

A lot of couples wonder if they need marriage counseling... and never ask. 

We talk about the warning signs most marriages ignore until it's too late, how to find a counselor who actually leads from Scripture, and why the strongest marriages are the ones humble enough to ask for help before things fall apart.

What Jesus Expects of Every Husband
What Jesus Expects of Every Husband

We've all heard the phrase "husbands, wash your wives with the word" — at weddings, in sermons, maybe even preached it ourselves. But what does it actually mean, practically, day to day?

In this episode, we unpack Ephesians 5 and talk honestly about what it really looks like to lead a marriage well — the extremes to avoid, the moments that quietly end marriages, and the one job every husband is called to.

What We Teach Our Children About Waiting for 'The One'
What We Teach Our Children About Waiting for 'The One'

We live in a culture obsessed with finding "the one" — waiting for lightning to strike, following your heart, hoping for that perfect soulmate feeling. But what if the Bible offers something far more freeing?

In this episode, we talk about what we actually teach young adults (including our own kids) about dating, character, and commitment — and why picking someone and becoming best friends might be more romantic than any soulmate story you've ever heard.

Whether you're dating, praying for a spouse, or raising teens trying to navigate it all — this conversation is for you.

The Screen Time Stat That Should Scare Every Parent
The Screen Time Stat That Should Scare Every Parent

The internet is in our homes 24/7 — but is it discipling our kids more than we are?

In this episode, Tony and Bre get honest about the role screens play in their own home — the wins, the struggles, and the habits they've had to rebuild as parents. They talk through why removing screens without replacing them rarely works, why kids imitate more than they obey, and one simple rule that's changed their family's mornings.

They also share a free resource from their friends at Plugged In: the 2026 Parents Guide to Technology — a practical, balanced guide for navigating screens, social media, and tech in the home.

If you've ever wondered whether you're raising kids who are shaped more by their phones than by your voice, this conversation is for you.

Can Gen-Z’ers Remain Romantically Pure?

What’s it like being a single “twenty-something” committed to Jesus in America today? That’s the question I posed during a recent sit-down with three single women from our church. All of them are faithful to Christ, educated, hard-working, and walking through the dating landscape of Southern California with spiritual eyes wide open. I think you’ll be blessed by their honesty and encouraged by their convictions.

One of the great dangers for church-goers is to become accidental Pharisees. We become so focused on our theology, ministry, parenting, or spiritual disciplines that we begin to find our identity in them rather than in Christ and quietly look down on
