Show Notes

In this episode of Family Matters, Simon sits down with Nick and Sarah Field, the Kiwi couple behind 'Good Stuff Parenting' ( @GoodStuffParenting ) - a biblically-grounded parenting resource designed to help parents raise their children toward maturity with a clear, simple, and practical pathway. After 34 years of parenting and 25 years as pastors, Nick and Sarah saw a gap: plenty of parenting advice out there, but nothing that was both simple and firmly rooted in Scripture. So they built it themselves. In this week's podcast, they cover: - What Good Stuff Parenting is and how it works - Why the Bible is the ultimate parenting guide — and where to find it - The four-relationship framework: love and respect for God, self, others, and creation - Age-specific modules from newborn through teenager (and how you can jump in at any stage) - The power of learning and parenting in community - Real stories from parents who've gone through the program - Quick, practical parenting tips you can try today **🔗 Learn more & access free modules:** go to www.goodstuff.org.nz **⏱ Chapters:** - 0:00 – Welcome & introductions - 1:00 – What is Good Stuff Parenting? - 3:18 – Why a biblical foundation for parenting? - 6:18 – Love & respect: the four-relationship framework - 8:30 – Age-based modules & the "Architecture" on-ramp - 10:24 – Practical stories: what parents are learning - 13:00 – Learning in community & group facilitation - 16:48 – The catalyst: why Nick & Sarah started it all - 21:14 – Quick parenting tips from Nick & Sarah - 26:00 – Where to find Good Stuff Parenting --- #familymatters #familyfirstnz
