Tuning the Bow
Psalm 127:4 says, "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons born in one's youth." A skilled warrior knows how to use his arrow, but children can be difficult to teach at times. The focus of this podcast is to equip parents to tune their bow and become skilled warriors as they train their children to go into the world. Join Matthew Wilbanks, youth pastor at First Baptist Church in Pittsburg, TX, and Tim Rose, youth pastor at First Odessa in Odessa, TX, as they discuss family discipleship as the Bible teaches. Guests, jokes, and a deep dive into Scripture can be expected, so get ready to tune your bow!

Preparing for Disruption
Jesus makes it plain to His disciples that following Him will cause disruption. The world is against God wholeheartedly, and this affects every household to the smallest point of contention. Why would Jesus say He does not bring peace? In this episode, Tim and Matt talk about why this idea is important to keep in mind as parents search the Scriptures for what God says they should do. Along with this, Tim gives two resources that will add to parents' understanding of how to prepare for any disruption that may come their way.
