Summary

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.

0:00.0	Welcome to Courageous Parenting Podcast, a weekly show to equip parents with biblical truth on raising
0:04.9	confident Christian kids in an uncertain world. Hi, I'm Angie from Courageous Mom and Isaac from Resolute Man,
0:10.7	together pursuing the mission to impact 10 million families and their legacies for the kingdom of God.
0:15.9	We've been married for 23 years and are seeing the fruit from raising our nine children biblically based on the raw
0:22.1	truth found in the Bible. We can no longer let the culture win the hearts of children as too many
0:27.4	from Christian families are walking away from their faith by the age 18 and it doesn't have to be
0:31.8	this way. It shouldn't be this way. We're praising the Lord that the ministry continues to expand and impact more legacies.
0:39.4	We couldn't do this without you, whether you pray for us, give us five-star reviews, or share
0:43.7	on social. Or even if you purchase courses and merge or join the Be Courageous Act community,

0:52.2	legacies movement. If you want access to all the
0:54.5	episodes, show notes, and other biblically based resources, go to be courageous ministry.org.

1:12.8	already the end of March. Unbelievable. Over five million downloads, 194 countries. It's just
1:18.3	we're an awe of what God is doing. We're so thankful for you listening in. We hope it's edifying
1:25.1	to you and your family. And as you know, if you've listened
1:28.8	before, we hold nothing back. It's always based on the Bible. And we're sharing experience from 25
1:33.9	years of marriage and parenting. Nine kids. So today, we are actually talking about who is actually
1:41.0	leading your family. So when you read that title, you see that out there, you may
1:45.6	think to yourself for a second, oh, is this about like, is the wife leading or is the husband leading?
