What "Train Up a Child" from Proverbs 22:6 Practically Looks Like in Everyday Parenting [5-Part Framework]

Monday, April 14, 2025 • Duration 31:57

→ Prayer Calendar

What does it actually mean to “train up a child in the way he or she should go”? In this episode, we unpack Proverbs 22:6 in a deeply practical and spiritually rich conversation. We outline a 5-part framework—demonstrate, instruct, apply, practice, and communicate—that equips Christian parents to train their children according to God’s Word.

From Scripture-based parenting moments at the dinner table to practicing respectful behavior in public, this episode offers biblical guidance and real-world examples to help you nurture your child’s heart, habits, and faith.

1 - Demonstration
2 - Instruction
3 - Application
4 - Practice
5 - Communication
*Bonus - PRAYER*

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:00] – Introduction: Proverbs 22:6 and the foundation of biblical parenting
[00:01:00] – Step 1: Demonstration—Why living out your faith is the starting point
[00:03:00] – Step 2: Instruction—Teaching children scripture and leading them to wisdom
[00:13:00] – Step 3: Application—Bringing scripture into specific behaviors and choices
[00:18:00] – Step 4: Practice—Why repetition, joy, and connection deepen learning
[00:24:00] – Step 5: Communication—Clear expectations and behavior modeling
[00:28:00] – Prayer: The heart of it all—trusting God to change hearts, not just habits

3 Takeaways:

Biblical parenting begins with demonstrating authentic faith - Children are watching our daily lives more than they are listening to our words. Modeling godly character is the foundation for training them in truth.
Effective teaching includes instruction, application, and joyful practice - From quoting scripture during teachable moments to role-playing expected behaviors, parents can disciple their children through consistency and connection.
Prayer is central to parenting - Only God can transform hearts. While we are called to train and teach, it is the Holy Spirit who ultimately brings about lasting change in our children’s lives.

Research-backed Methods for Reading Readiness: Building Foundations for Lifelong Literacy and a Love of Reading

Monday, March 31, 2025 • Duration 29:54

→ Prayer Calendar

→ Our book recommendations

Learning to read is one of the most pivotal milestones in a child’s life—and yet, it’s often clouded with pressure, comparison, and confusion. On this episode, we explore what it really means to be “reading ready” by drawing from research-backed methods, personal parenting experiences, and biblical principles. We'll help you understand how to foster early literacy in a way that honors both the child’s pace and God’s design.

With insights on vocabulary development, phonics, phonemic awareness, comprehension, and even the fourth-grade slump, this conversation equips parents with practical tools and the reassurance to trust the process—while never losing sight of the joy of reading and the power of God's Word.

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:00] – Introduction: Why reading matters and how it shapes lifelong success
[00:06:00] – Proven strategies for reading readiness: Language-rich environments and daily life learning
[00:13:00] – Breaking down the components of reading: Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension
[00:18:00] – Understanding the fourth-grade slump: How vocabulary impacts academic success
[00:25:00] – Tips for reluctant readers: Observing interests and introducing engaging materials

3 Takeaways:

Reading is a developmental process that unfolds naturally over time - Parents are encouraged to resist comparison and pressure, instead creating rich, contextual environments where children can grow at their own pace—supported by love, conversation, and daily experiences.
Vocabulary is the single greatest predictor of long-term reading comprehension and academic success - From infancy through early elementary years, exposing children to diverse, rich language—through conversation, books, songs, poetry, and storytelling—is essential.Reading readiness is not just about decoding words.
