The post #194 – Thoroughly Equipped: Titus Intro And Overview appeared first on Into the Harvest

In part 2 of our Thoroughly Equipped Series, John talks to JR Ovens about how to engage daily with Jesus. In other words, the importance of having a quiet time, and letting Jesus examine your life daily. Coming in April, we will be doing a study of Titus - taking a deep dive into studying the Bible, and us examining God - so we thought we'd cover the importance of letting Him examine us, too.

JR is a husband and a father of five awesome kids. He is a retired Special Forces soldier and currently works as a part time Physicians Assistant in order to spend most of his time being faithful to his family and making disciples. JR is a gifted evangelist and anyone who spends time with him will see his passion for sharing the good news of Jesus. He and his wife Ashley along with their entire family host a home study weekly and are actively engaged in making disciples of the next generation.

The Bible says that we are to teach our children diligently the words God commands us. That is admittedly tricky when our culture is screaming at them to "live their truth" and essentially, be their own God.

So, in this episode, Andrew interviewed Jennifer Beitel who recently began a ministry called UNITED Next Gen with the goal of helping to provide clarity in cultural issues on a worldview level and to encourage intentional discipleship within the home.

After running parent book groups studying topics like biblical sexuality and biblical versus social justice, she enrolled in the Colson Fellows program in 2021 and became a commissioned Colson Fellow of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in 2022, launching UNITED shortly after.

In this episode:

• A more accurate view of Christianity
• Teaching our kids how to think
• Tactical ways to start a parent book club
• Greatest challenges for today's parents
• Resources for parents and church leaders

The post #192 – Jennifer Beitel: Shaping the Next Generation for Christ appeared first on Into the Harvest

1 Corinthians 3 tells us our work will be revealed, as tested by fire. If you've built with gold, silver, and precious stones, your work will survive through the fire. If you've built with wood and hay, your work will be destroyed, and you will experience loss.

In this episode, Andrew gives a talk where he breaks this passage down, and explains what this passage means, and why we as followers of Jesus should strive to become kingdom craftsmen.

• God calls each of us
• Three items for true faith
• Joining the family business
• Laying the foundation
• Imparting character, knowledge, skill
