Israel and Brook Wayne answer real-life parenting questions about navigating extended family dynamics that conflict with your values, encouraging a shy child without over-pressuring them, and shepherding the heart of a rebellious teen who resists authority. They highlight the spiritual core of parenting, offering Scripture-based wisdom for maintaining boundaries, building confidence, and protecting your family’s discipleship focus—even in the hardest moments.
Biblical parenting is hard—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Each week, Raising Them Up tackles real-life parenting questions with biblical wisdom, practical help, and gospel hope. From screen time and sibling conflict to discipleship, marriage, and homeschooling, hosts Israel and Brook Wayne bring decades of parenting experience and a deep love for God’s Word to your everyday challenges.
Short, honest, and full of grace—this is Christian parenting help you can trust.

The church of Jesus Christ is in desperate need of godly men. For the church to be healthy, it must be led by men of integrity, humble men, men of love, and men who lay down their lives for the sheep. Additionally, for churches to be strong, they need to be made up of healthy, growing families led by faithful husbands and fathers who direct their family to believe in the Lord Jesus, and to walk in God’s ways.
