Episode 56-You’re Allowed to Ask Questions: Family and Theology with guest Jenny Randle
On today’s episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige welcomes Emmy award-winning editor, author, speaker, and ministry founder, Jenny Randle. Paige and Jenny discuss Jenny’s latest book, Flash Theology, and how to bring theology into our homes and our parenting. Jenny shares how Christians are/can be intimated by the idea of theology when in reality, it simply means the study of God. This is a practice available to anyone with a curiosity or desire to deepen their understanding of God and should not be feared! When we humble ourselves and admit that we do not know everything about who He is, we can learn, grow, and model a life of truth-seeking to our children, families, and friends. By this example, we invite our children into a real, thriving relationship with a God who is big enough to handle any question or doubt they may have.
Takeaways:
- How can we disciple within our home?
- By taking each moment at a time that becomes a teachable moment! Call out when you see Jesus in them. Maybe it's an exuberant joy, maybe it’s patience and kindness with siblings - whatever it is, make sure you are speaking LIFE and TRUTH over your kids.
- Who has my alliance and who am I partnering with?
- We all have an alliance with something. In this world, we are all being discipled by something. If we aren’t intentional about our values, character, or definitions of success, we allow other things to speak into that.
- When we have a firm biblical view, when we want to be like Jesus, that will be a driving force behind how we shape our lives
- Make sure the people that you are surrounding yourself with are truth speakers and truth seekers.
- When you have Truth Speakers in your life, they will call you out in love, calling you to be better and holding you to a higher standard. They encourage our maturation in our walk with Christ.
- When you have a Truth Seeker in your life, their walk with God and pursuit of truth naturally push you to do the same. We should seek out friendships that push us to be more like Jesus.
