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

0:13.6

So the other sad outcome is that we raise children who are so moral, they do not know their need of the gospel.

0:20.0

They hear of this Jesus and they think,

0:22.5

well, I would take a spot of Jesus over here, but like mostly I've got everything together.

0:29.1

Come on, get spicy, Chelsea. I'm not. I'm not looking for a fight. I just, I think it's very

0:34.1

ironic that the, that the show would call itself Bible Man when you're going,

0:39.1

that is just antithetical to the Bible itself.

0:42.3

Like, this is not the story the Bible tells.

0:44.6

And then you call your show Bible Man.

0:46.1

Just call it Moral Man or like.

0:50.2

I just don't think we will ever go awry.

0:53.5

We will never go wrong when we stop and take the time to tell our children how thankful we are that the Lord has entrusted them to us.

1:02.7

Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my lovely, lovely co-host and wife, my betrothed.

1:09.5

My, betrothed means we're going to get married, doesn't it? My actual wife. My wife. Mrs. Chelsea Griffin, how are you doing today, Chelsea? I'm doing great. I'm glad you clarified that we did go ahead and get married. Yes. Oh, yeah. Just a couple of years ago. But we're betrothed for our, you know, renewals. Do the people still do that? Do they renew their

1:28.1

vows? Is that a thing? I think only if you're going through a rough time. Oh, then we don't need to do that. We're doing great, right? Oh, no. Oh, no. That's a laugh. I think we could skip it this year. Okay, good. All right, well, we are also joined today by a very special guest, the Queen of Tiny Theologians, Miss Amy Gannett. All right, Amy, I'm so glad you're here with us.

1:51.8

Wow, I've never been called the Queen of Anything. So this is particularly exciting for me.

1:57.7

Great. Well, it's not an election. You earned it by birth. So Queen is, that's right. Not my queen. I didn't vote for you, but I recognize the title. Amy, I'm so glad to have you with us today. I'm so glad you're here. How you doing? I'm doing great. I'm so glad to be here, you guys. I feel so honored to be including in these conversations. I feel like I'm such a fan of your work on the podcast. So I just am so tickled to be here. Thanks for having me. Well, you're going to get the behind the scenes view and you will lose a lot of any of the luster or any of the, I mean, I've already mispronounced your name. I've already like messed up a couple things. Just don't get your hopes up too high,

2:35.1

Amy. There's a lot of edit. We have a great editor is what we've got. But I'm really excited about this

2:39.3

conversation. Amy, there's, when I was reading through some of the stuff again on tiny theologians

2:43.2

this week, reminded me of a lot of the hot button issues that Chelsea and I get kind of fired up about

2:48.6

when it comes to a theology that's designed to be
