Jesus has won our freedom and calls us to follow Him as His disciples. It is a hard life that will require us to lay down our desires for His. Yet it is the path to true life, unlike the other one that promises us everything but leads to our destruction. So, let's go! Let's follow the voice of Jesus.

Jesus changes everything. As Christians, we might understand that Jesus came and paid the penalty for our sins and through faith we are forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life. Yet there is more. Jesus is also our Lord and this truth penetrates every area of our lives.

The Bible contains foundational truths that change everything about our lives, including our parenting. We live in a "me, myself, and I" world where we are the main character. The reality is that everything is about God. It is His story.

Over the next eight podcast episodes, we are going to share Chosen Gen's book, Discipleship Parenting Foundations, as an audiobook. This book is a call back to the biblical foundations that change every area of our lives, including how we raise our children. It is an urgent reminder of our God-given role to disciple our kids, showing them how to walk the path following Jesus, not the wide road of this world. In chapter one, we examine the sobering statistic that 60 percent of the next generation is walking away from the faith by the time they reach adulthood and why it is happening.

As humans, we spend so much time boasting. We do it to defend ourselves, earn respect, or seek after love. The Bible tells us instead to boast in Jesus. It is in knowing God, His love, and redemption that we discover the reason and power of this boasting.

Life is filled with uncertainty. Do you find yourself coping with it all by seeking safety? As Christians, it's important that we don't get sucked up in the world's false promises of security, but rather, run to the one place it is truly found.

Help me overcome my unbelief! As Christians, we have every reason to be people of great faith. Let's turn our doubting laughter into confident prayers to God. As Jesus said, "Everything is possible for one who believes."

Spring has arrived and so has spring fever. The birds are singing, things are growing, cleaning is happening, and the warm sunshine is satisfying. As Christians, how is your relationship with God? Does it feel like you have been enduring a "winter" season? Let us desire to have God fever where our relationship is one that is full of life!
