Summary

Too many children are launching from Christian homes and denouncing their faith. If the normal rhythms of Christian parenting aren’t working, then why? The Tolpins believe part of it is; if the heart behind the Spiritual things parents do with and for their families isn’t right, then it may not be having the effect they hope. If we feel a need to do something spiritual, is it only out of duty as a parent, or our love for God? Is it checking off a box, or is it a deep desire to draw closer to the Lord and encourage our family to do so as well? What will the perception of your children be about your spiritual leadership as they get older by what they lived out in your home? Yes, take your family to church, but cultivating a culture in your home where people experience God is a whole different thing. All show notes, scripture references, and resources mentioned are found at BeCourageousMinistry.org

0:05.2	So in today's episode, we're going to talk about experiencing God versus just doing Christianity,
0:10.1	specifically having like a religious and legalistic culture in your home.
0:14.7	We talk often about how the reality of what's happening in the world today is that kids are leaving
0:19.6	the faith by age 18 and that it doesn't have to be that way. But there's also a growing
0:25.2	majority of this younger generation that is also choosing to talk about their upbringing from a

0:49.1	So we hope you catch that. Lots of practical insights to really cultivate a culture in your family
0:56.4	of people experiencing the Lord. So in today's episode, we go over about four or five different
1:02.8	scriptures. So make sure you grab your journal or something that you can jot them down on because
1:06.7	these are really awesome scriptures to be sharing with your kids. So while it's having conversation

1:30.5	legacies for the Kingdom of God. We've been married for 23 years and are seeing the fruit from
1:35.9	raising our nine children, typically based on the raw truth found in the Bible. We can no longer let
