You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of training the church.

We've elevated Christian marriage at the expense of Christian singleness. And that's not what the New

Testament does, is actually presents both marriage and singleness as beautiful and valid ways of honouring the Lord and living unto him.

And we need to not fall for the, you know, once upon a time everything was great and in line with Christian ethics. Now it isn't.

Or the converse of that, which is let's look at the culture around us today and pretend that the Bible affirms everything the culture affirms because it isn't, or the converse of that, which is, let's look at the culture around

us today and pretend that the Bible affirms everything the culture affirms because it doesn't.

There's no insurance policy that Christian parents can kind of place on their children, that

they won't walk away from Jesus. But I'm not sure I would put the kid he walks away from Jesus for a same-sex

sexual relationship in like a totally different category from the kid he walks away from Jesus

for any other reason. All right, well, this is Adam Griffin. I'm here with my co-host. First,

the notorious Christian herself, Mrs. Cassie Bryant. How are you doing today, Cassie?

I'm doing great. Notorious, though.

Is that a bad ring to it? I don't know why. Like, infamous is not as like the opposite of

famous, right? Like famous for the wrong reasons. Is it notorious similar? You mean infamous?

It's fine. Yeah. Yeah, I said, what did I say? I thought you said infamous like we were doing an

episode of Three Amigos.

He's so famous. He's in famous. That was my British accent. Sorry. Just kidding. Of course. We also have here with us, my lovely wife, the apologist I'd love to apologize to, Mrs. Chelsea Griffin. How you doing it, that Chelsea? Doing good. I am an apologist, but just to clarify about your apologies, can you just tell the listeners that I'm not a tyrant making you apologize all the time? Oh, for sure. It's not forced. I apologize

constantly no matter what. It's one of my quirks and a problem I'm trying to work on. I'm sorry

about that, everybody. Really sorry. Good.

Yeah. Well, we also have on today's episode a guest, author, mother, and podcaster for one of our sister podcasts, Miss Rebecca McLaughlin. How you doing, Rebecca? I'm well. I've never been missed

Rebecca McLaughlin, though. Oh, Mrs. Rebecca McLaughlin. I've also never been Mrs. Oh, what is it normally? Doctor? I'm just giving you a hard time. Is it doctor? When Brian and I got married, Brian was still doing his PhD and I'd finished mine. Yeah. And my brother introduced us after the, you know, to the reception. He's like, introducing for the first time ever. And he said, Mr. and Mrs. Brian McLaughlin. I was like, excuse me. It's doctor and doctor. Mr. and doctor is what it is. That's awesome. Well, you do have your PhD, which is very impressive. I did a doctorate a couple

years ago, and it's nothing compared to yours. I don't let anybody call me, doctor, except for my children.
