Preparing Your Children for Resurrection Sunday
If your children were asked what they are celebrating at Easter what do you think they would answer? Many kids will say “Jesus” or “Jesus rose from the dead” but do they know what that means and how that impacts them? Are they excited to celebrate Jesus or are they focused on the candy and Easter egg hunt? Christians fall all over the spectrum regarding whether they should call this special day of remembrance Easter or Resurrection Sunday. Some Christians would call others legalistic for not celebrating, while others feel a deep conviction not to celebrate. Join Isaac and Angie as they discuss the possible connection Easter has to a pagan holiday, the unique opportunity that Christians have to use this time to disciple their children in teaching the prophecies from the Old Testament and how Jesus is the fulfillment of those prophecies in a very real and tangible way. This is a call for Christians to recognize the opportunity that we have to “make much of God”, magnify His name, glorify and celebrate Him and what the Savior has done for us all, whether you are teaching holy week significant events using resurrection eggs, or celebrating a messianic passover. Isaac and Angie share 4 ways to help keep the focus on the Lord, encouragement for Moms who feel overwhelmed with all the options of ways to celebrate, and share some of their favorite traditions and resources they have used over the past 24 years parenting.

"Who's actually leading your family?"
Every Christian parent should ask themselves this question in a posture of being open to self-reflection regarding their home. Isaac and Angie Tolpin give a few challenges in this episode that are likely to cause even the most well-intentioned parents to think about opportunities for recalibration. The reality is, most homes are somewhat led by the children actually. Of course at first glance every parent would likely say, “That’s not our home!” well…you might be surprised at how this actually plays out without parents even recognizing it’s happening. It starts in the toddler years and perpetuates as children get older in most families, maybe even all homes at times. The difference becomes whether the parents recalibrate when it happens and shift back on course in a concerted way. But with most unaware of the depth of what they are allowing to be cultivated in their family culture, too many don’t recalibrate. The statistics are starting to show dramatic evidence of this which often even leads to the whole family adjusting their theological viewpoints. Isaac gives a huge challenge to fathers at the end of the episode you won’t want to miss and the whole episode is full of practical insights and encouragement as you parent in these unprecedented times.Companies we love who sponsor the show:Voetberg Music Academy; is the online music class that children actually love and make progress with!
