| 0:00.0 | Setting your child's spiritual trajectory on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:11.6 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |
| 0:23.1 | This week on the podcast, our communications coordinator, Teran DeFeevers, was able to catch up with |
| 0:28.8 | Pastor Mike Fabres. Mike is the founding pastor of Compass Bible Church in South Orange |
| 0:35.3 | County, in California, and he's been in pastoral ministry |
| 0:38.2 | for more than 25 years. He's committed clearly to communicating God's word verse by verse and |
| 0:44.2 | encourages his listeners to apply what they have learned to their daily lives. Pastor Mike is a graduate |
| 0:50.5 | of Moody Bible Institute, the Talbot School of Theology, and also Westminster Theological Seminary in California. |
| 0:57.9 | Pastor Mike has heard on hundreds of radio programs across the country on the focal point radio program and has authored several books. |
| 1:05.2 | So let's listen in on the discussion between Taryn and Pastor Mike as they talk about setting your child's spiritual |
| 1:13.6 | trajectory. Thanks, Dale. Pastor Mike, we are so excited to have you on the podcast today. Thank you so |

| 1:36.3 | of parenting and discipling his children. And we want to gain wisdom from him today as he talks |
| 1:40.8 | about parenting and discipling your children. The first question I'd like to ask you, Pastor Mike, is how did you set up a spiritual trajectory |
| 1:49.0 | in your home for your kids? |
| 1:50.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:51.2 | Well, it's hard for us to ever set a trajectory that we ourselves are not on. |
| 1:56.4 | So I think so much of what we think about in terms of disciplining our kids, even as Jesus said, |
| 2:02.0 | I mean, every disciple when he's fully trained will be just like his teacher. |
| 2:05.6 | So you've got to make sure that these issues of what you're concerned about in your kids' lives spiritually are vibrant and happening in your life. |
