The Good News That God Makes Us Alive in Christ
3w ago00:27:38Tap to summarizeIn the 3rd episode of our Good Good News series, Cameron and Anna discuss the gospel benefit of regeneration. Regeneration is the name for God making us a new creation, whereby we are raised from spiritual death and made alive in Christ. This is good news for parents who cannot seem to change their child's behavior-- or their own, sometimes-- the Holy Spirit will change us from the inside out.

Jesus Is the Resurrection and the Life for Parents Who Want to Fix Everything
Mar 1200:32:53Tap to summarizeIn this final episode of our Flourishing Parent series, Cameron and Anna come to the climactic "I Am" statement in the Gospel of John. When Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, he demonstrates his power over life and death, and his will to defeat death on our behalf.

Jesus Is the Way, the Truth, and the Life for Parents and Kids On the Outside Looking In
Jan 2900:33:03Tap to summarizeOne of the greatest struggles humans have is with our pressing need to feel like we belong. We were created for fellowship and connection with God and others, so the desire for belonging is a proper human need that has been bent and twisted by sin. In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the fact that our basic desire is actually to belong to God, and then with others, and Jesus is the way into our belonging. Belonging to Jesus, we find the true satisfaction and flourishing that we, and our kids, long to experience.
