Show Notes
We continue our unofficial side series, "Table Talk." These are "out of the studio" recordings from live conversations that we've shared together on social media on topics that pertain to Christian Parenting and taking thoughts captive for Christ. The audio comes from direct recordings of our mobile devices so the recording quality does not match that of our regular episodes. We hope that you enjoy these conversations with us around the table! In this discussion, we talk about how churches have departed from God’s design in selecting leaders, swearing oaths, and some cult-like behaviors that have crept in throughout history, as well as a discussion on birthing whose hands are receiving our children into the world.

What would you do if the King of all the universe entrusted you to steward some of His most valuable treasures? If we are made in the image of God, what does that make our children?
What does it mean for a wife to submit to her husband? Is a wife to enable or silently abide the sinful patterns of her husband out of respect or reverence? Submission never means that we go along with sin, like Saphira who co-plotted sin with Ananias in their deceitful offering of money for the land that was sold (Acts 5:1-11). On the flip side, we also don’t want to have a Jezebel spirit that further entices a husband into sinful ways, as in the life of the evil king, Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-33; 21) A husband is also called to love his wife with a self sacrificing love, like Jesus (Ephesians 5:25). And the kind of love that Christ had was one that regarded others as better than Himself and completely void of selfish ambition (Philippians 2:3-8). Submission and love then is a picture of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32). Love is sacrificial and regards others as better than itself, and the submission of the wife would first entail a submission of her will and spirit to receive the husband's self sacrificing love like Jesus. Submitting to his self sacrificing love for her just all Christians are called to surrender to Jesus’s loving sacrifice for us on the cross in grace. Join the discussion as we dive into what the Bible has to say about submission and love in marriage.
What does it mean to be a family? How does the family function and what is its purpose? In this episode, we share our personal visions of family from our upbringing and how family systems and day to day function affect the way we view family, sometimes more than what is explicitly expressed about family. Join us as we take thoughts captive for Christ on distorted visions of family.
What is the place of the husband in birthing? Is there any role that he plays beyond just being a supporting partner?
What if one of our deepest assumptions about family, work, and provision isn’t actually rooted in Scripture? From the very beginning in Genesis, God never commands humanity to provide—He commands us to steward what He has already provided. Yet after the fall, toil entered the story, and many of us have come to believe that the weight of supplying every need rests entirely on our shoulders. In this episode, we discuss what the Bible actually says about provision, stewardship, and our role within God’s Kingdom.
