Have you ever had your children ask difficult questions that could effect their faith? As parents we should be willing and eager to explore those questions with our families. The challenge is, we don't always have answers. In this video we discuss a common challenge to God's nature, "Is God a Tyrant?" This question comes in many forms, but it usually centers around God's judgement upon a group of people where innocent lives are surely affected. We will tackle this question head on using the Exodus account of Passover and offer some thoughts on how to properly teach our children about the true nature of God. This video is directly related to our Weeks #15 and #16 Raising Warriors Family Bible Study Guide.

In this episode we are discussing how the Biblical account of the Exodus directly connects with our modern lives. The Exodus has so many parallels to our understanding of redemption, salvation, and the Father. In this we explore how leaving Egypt is a metaphor for being set apart from the world we live in as we walk away from the wisdom and knowledge passed down by the world and its traditions to follow the Father and His righteous instructions. All throughout the Bible God is clear what His view is of worldly or man-made traditions, knowledge, and commands. As we understands God's view it should help us sift and weigh what advice or traditions we incorporate into our lives and the lives of our families. This is a challenging videos where we cover dozens of videos, but it is fundamental for us to know and discern what is the will of God in our lives. So if you have questions about whether Christians should celebrate Hanukah, Christmas, New Years, or if they should follow advice or instructions given by men instead of God. We are dead to the world, and the world is perishing, so should we follow what the world tells us to do? This video is directly related to our Week #15 Raising Warriors Family Bible Study Guide.

As we continue studying the Old Testament, one thing becomes chrystal clear. God knows what He is doing, and whether we know or not, His will is ultimately accomplished. Pharaoh learns this the hard way, the Hebrews learn with difficulty as well. One verse jumped out at us as we were reading through the beginning chapters of Exodus that we haven't really noticed before. Tonight we talk about the Israelites, YHVH, and the Egyptians and how God is using their difficulty to reveal truth to the people, Pharaoh, the Egyptians, and eventually the world.

One of the most intense conversations we engage in is about the "holidays" like Christmas and Easter. As two people who spent years, thousands of dollars, and a ton of emotional commitment toward these days every year for most of our lives, trust us when we say, we didn't come to any conclusions lightly. In this episode we will explore just one aspect of Christmas that often gets overlooked and how this should impact our view of this day.
