In this episode, we’re working through unanswered questions from our recent Family Retreat. These are thoughtful, real-life questions from our church family—covering the Christian home, spiritual growth, family relationships, and pastoral ministry.

Our aim is simple: to search the Scriptures for clarity and wisdom on issues that matter in everyday life.

Scripture is sufficient to equip God’s people for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Whether in gathered worship or personal questions, God’s Word both asks and answers what we need most.

Questions from the congregation:

1. What habits are most important for sustaining a Christ-centered home long-term? How do those habits translate as children grow into teens and adults?

a. Deuteronomy 6:4–9

2. How do you integrate embodied development (nutrition, fitness, recreation, fashion/beauty, work) with spiritual formation in your home?

a. 1 Timothy 4:7–8

b. 1 Corinthians 10:31

3. Sometimes I have a hard time making sure I remember events that happen in the Bible. Even though I study the Bible. Do you have any tips for people with learning and memory issues?

a. Psalm 119:11

4. How can I deal with difficult relationships in my extended family?

a. Matthew 5:43–44

5. What’s the #1 thing the congregation does that is stressful/annoying for you as a pastor?
