Ep 59 | Should Kids Be Afraid of Their Parents?

The Bible says in Proverbs 9:10 that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," which is a good thing. But then it describes fear as something that God intends to "cast out" of us in 1 John 4:18. So...are we supposed to fear God, or not? In this episode, Brian and Katie examine a few Greek and Hebrew words found in the Bible that get translated as "fear," and they discuss what this means for our relationship with God and with our kids.

Ep 58 | Don't Just Raise Your Kids in Church — Raise Them in Christ

Being a disciple of Jesus means more than attending a church service once a week (or whenever it's convenient). Learning and following the ways of Jesus happens in the daily rhythms of life. In this week's episode, Brian and Katie talked about... Raising kids in a home that is centered around Jesus. The difference between active and passive discipleship. The reality that the best way to raise kids who know, love, and follow Jesus is to give them a childhood in which they watched their parents be discipled by Jesus. Want to connect with us?

Ep 57 | Recovering Our View of Jesus as the Teacher

Most Christians today primarily associate Jesus with being their Savior, and rightfully so. But His original disciples didn't just know Him as the Messiah, they also knew Him as their Rabbi (Teacher). Would we also benefit from thinking about Him this way? In this episode, we explore what it meant in the first century to call someone “Rabbi,” why this role was central to the life of a disciple, and how Jesus’ teaching shaped every part of His followers’ lives. We’ll also talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus as our Teacher today—learning from Him, walking in His ways, and how this can change the way we raise our kids. Want to connect with us?

Ep 56 | The Economy of the New Creation (Live Sermon)

This week, we’re sharing the sermon version of The Economy of the New Creation—a message Brian recently preached at his church (Be Love Company) that covers the same powerful truths we explored in our last two episodes. In a world built on fear, greed, and self-preservation, Jesus invites us into a radically different economy—one marked by trust, generosity, and the pursuit of God’s Kingdom. Drawing from Matthew 6, this message explores what it means to live as a new creation today, how our relationship with money reveals the focus of our hearts, and why true peace isn’t found in having more—but in seeking first the Kingdom and trusting in the faithfulness of God. Whether or not you’ve listened to the previous two episodes, we believe this message will encourage, challenge, and re-center your heart. Want to connect with us?

Ep 55 | The Economy of the New Creation (Part 2)

What if financial peace isn’t always about having more money, but about where we place our trust? In this episode, we continued walking through Matthew 6 and Jesus’ invitation to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The world trains us to obsess over money, often leading to fear, greed, and self-preservation—but Jesus teaches us to trust, to live generously, and to fix our eyes on something greater. Join us as we explore how true and lasting peace and joy come from anchoring our hope in the goodness and faithfulness of God—and why more money is not always the answer to financial worry.

Ep 54 | The Economy of the New Creation (Part 1)

In this episode, we begin exploring Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 about righteousness, generosity, and laying up treasure in heaven. Jesus has a way of challenging not just our actions, but our motives—exposing where we place our trust and what we truly treasure. As followers of Christ, we’re ushered into a radically different economy—one in which we’re free to practice radical generosity, and where our security is not found in money, but in the goodness and faithfulness of God. Join us next week for Part 2, where we’ll dive deeper into the economy of God’s Kingdom and consider how we can bring heaven to earth through generosity. Want to connect with us?

Ep 53 | Should Christians Still be Tithing?

Do Christians have to tithe? Short answer: no. But should we? Yes—but probably not for the reason you think... In this episode, we’ll unpack why tithing isn’t a “rule” for Christians under the New Covenant to avoid being cursed by God (as many teach), but why it might still be a wise and helpful practice. Jesus warned how easily money can become the object of our love and trust—and giving regularly can help us fight that. Think of tithing less like a law and more like a rhythm—a way to routinely remind ourselves that God is our provider and worthy of our trust. Want to connect with us?

Ep 52 | Is Your Money a Blessing or a Burden?

In the church, wealth is often seen as a blessing from God. But what happens when that wealth becomes the object of your trust? In this episode, Brian and Katie unpack the biblical tension between wealth, worship, and trust. The ease with which we can grow to love and rely on money shouldn’t be overlooked—or taken lightly. Whether you have a lot or a little, this conversation will challenge you to ask: Is the money you have a blessing used to love others and worship God, or has it quietly pulled you away from the ways of Jesus and His Kingdom?

Ep 51 | Two Reasons Parents Don't Apologize to Their Kids

When parents never apologize to their kids, it’s either because they're perfect or prideful. And since we know that every parent makes mistakes, that leaves us with only one option: pride. In this episode, Brian and Katie explore the process of rupture and repair, and why humility, not perfection, is what builds lasting connection with your kids. Want to connect with us?
