Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What 40 years of marriage has taught Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman
Q: How has counseling strengthened your marriage, and what would you tell listeners who are hesitant to seek help?
Counseling is a crucial tool alongside faith and prayer; it provides practical support, accountability, and a framework to address conflicts with humility, though it's not a cure-all. The key is to choose counselors who align with your values and to remain committed to bearing with one another while staying grounded in grace.
Discipling Our Kids Doesn’t Have to Be Intimidating with Sarah Holmstrom
Q: What practical prayer practices do you recommend for families with kids at different ages?
Use simple, adaptable practices like blessing your kids with words from scripture, breath prayers for calm, and gratitude-based games to make prayer a normal part of daily life for all ages.
Discipling Our Kids Doesn’t Have to Be Intimidating with Sarah Holmstrom
Q: How do you balance high expectations with the realities of each child's personality?
Recognize that each child is different and requires a unique approach; lower expectations when needed and focus on visible, authentic faith in daily life rather than a perfect program or schedule.
Discipling Our Kids Doesn’t Have to Be Intimidating with Sarah Holmstrom
Q: What is the hardest part about discipling your kids as a ministry family?
The biggest challenge is busyness and the pressure to do everything perfectly, which can crowd out meaningful moments to address character and faith; keeping priorities on prayer and relationship helps keep discipline sustainable.
Bringing joy back to discipleship at home with Amanda Jass
Q: How can parents start making faith at home feel joyful and approachable?
Start with simple, kid-friendly resources that align with what your kids enjoy, use short devotional pages, and incorporate playful elements like stories and gratitude rituals to make faith a natural part of daily life.
