Trust and Obey: The Ripple Effects of Your Family Decisions
Do you really trust God? Are you allowing Him to guide your decisions? Are you willing to obey Him even if it’s a riskier path? Too many Christians crave and pursue safety, but that’s not the example our children need to see. You could train them up in all the right things, but if your example doesn’t shout loudly in support of the words you teach, wisdom will likely be discarded in their futures. Be inspired to fully hear from the Lord and obey His guidance for your most important decisions. If your decisions fall in line with normal Christianity don’t be alarmed if the fruit of your legacy down the road is diminished. There’s no time to spare as we encourage and lead our families. They must see courage under our feet not just hear it from our lips. Equipping confident Christian Children for unprecedented times takes a path most Christians aren’t willing to walk down because it’s a path the leaves comfort and pursues righteousness that other Christians will mock. 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes on raising faith-filled kids in a hostile culture. 📖 Get the Courageous Parenting book: becourageousministry.org/book 🤝 Companies we love and use: Previnex vitamins the Tolpins use and love, get 15% off using code CP15 at previnex.com REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries: https://hubs.ly/Q04n6bxv0 CTC Math: https://ctcmath.com/

Christian Film Making, A Good Idea vs a God Idea, & 3 Keys to Parenting | Alex Kendrick
We sat down with Alex Kendrick, the storyteller behind Facing the Giants, Courageous, War Room, Forge, and the upcoming Flywheel movie, for a conversation that goes far beyond moviemaking. Alex opens up about what his parents did to encourage their direction and sibling teamwork. He shares the testimony behind his calling, writing scripts rooted in biblical truth, and the difference between a good idea and a God idea when discerning direction for movies. He shares a powerful story from their teenage years, when he and his brothers shifted toward encouragement and teamwork with one another, living at the highest and wisest level as a family, and the practical fatherhood rhythms that hold their household together in the midst of the movie business: four family devotions a week, intentional travel together, and one on one time with each child so no one feels like just another task on the list. Alex shares a personal story of God calling him to deny himself, leading him to exclude himself from acting in one of the movies he wrote. We get into how attention, affirmation, and affection shape a child's sense of being fathered well. And movie making perspectives on AI as well. If you've ever wondered how a family builds a legacy of faith while also building a dynamic career, or how to keep from compartmentalizing calling and home life, this episode is for you. Topics covered: Alex's testimony and calling into filmmaking The Good Idea vs God Idea filter for discerning direction Flywheel's re-release, October 16 Keeping siblings and family in alignment Family rhythms: devotions, one on one time, not compartmentalizing Point man mentality in being an effective team running a business with siblings Attention, affirmation, and affection as the bedrock of fathering Raising up the next generation of Christian filmmakers His standards on AI and movie making as a Christian Learn more about the Kendrick brothers new movie Flywheel at flywheelignitionofthesoulmovie.com 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes on raising faith-filled kids in a hostile culture. 📖 Get the Courageous Parenting book: becourageousministry.org/book 🤝 Companies we love and use: Previnex vitamins the Tolpins use and love, get 15% off using code CP15 at previnex.com REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries: https://hubs.ly/Q04n6bxv0 CTC Math: https://ctcmath.com/

How to Lead Family Devotions (Without Overcomplicating It)
Your kids are growing up in an unbelief epidemic, and you can't save them, but you can disciple them. In this first episode of a new series inside the Resolute Man Podcast, I lay out why fatherhood today is unprecedented (juggling multiple income sources, an accelerating pace of change, a culture that's beating down masculinity) and why home discipleship matters more than ever. I introduce the plan: a daily, Monday through Thursday walk through Proverbs, giving you practical tips and clear teaching on small sections of Scripture your family can actually use, plus a father in unprecedented times tip at the end of each episode. You'll also get the simple formula for teaching your family: Promote, Read, Ask, Yearn. It's built to be practical, not just inspirational, so you can actually do it with your kids this week. Scripture referenced: Deuteronomy 6:7 through 9 If this episode helps you, subscribe and leave a review, it genuinely helps other dads find the show.

Handling Overwhelm in Transitions & Improving Family Rhythms
Don't let overwhelm rob your home of peace, productivity, and joy. In this episode of Courageous Parenting, Isaac and Angie Tolpin share two simple, biblical steps to recalibrate your family with clarity — and build the rhythms that actually last. Barna's 2026 research found that only 1% of Gen Z holds a biblical worldview — proof that "normal" Christian parenting rhythms aren't working. Don't let your family conform to what's normal. Think clearly about what's best. This episode gives you a clear two-step plan the Tolpins use to keep thriving as a family whenever overwhelm creeps in. Stop letting overwhelm steal your joy — do these two things today. Subscribe for more episodes on raising faith-filled kids in a hostile culture.

Parenting a wayward child
Dustin Garrett was addicted to heroin, nearly took his life in prison, and is now a strong Christian husband and father. Episode 413 of Courageous Parenting. He shares what he believes his parents could have done better when the early signs of waywardness first appeared — and what his father eventually did that was exactly what he needed, even though he hated it at the time. You'll hear why tough love becomes necessary once a child is fully in a prodigal season, and how well-meaning help can actually prolong the problem instead of solving it. Perhaps the most powerful moment in this conversation: the testimony of his grandmother, who kept speaking God's truth over him for years even when no one was listening — and who ended up playing a key role in his eventual return to Jesus. Too many parents let discouragement stop them from pointing their kids to Christ. This episode is a reminder that consistency matters more than results you can see right away. If you're watching a child drift and aren't sure whether to tighten your grip or let go, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
