Friends! This is it. The final episode of Season 3.

Let's call it an Epilogue, but it's really a conclusion with a ton of "what do we do now" kind of stuff.  It's a wrap-up, so in many ways, it could have made a great intro episode as well. Whether this is the first episode you've heard, or the final one of the season... enjoy!

Season 3, episode 8: "Parenting in the You Do You Era."

This episode is our attempt at re-focusing parenting on raising disciples of Jesus.

To that end, we draw from parenting "fails" that stem from the junk values of the YDYE, and ultimately encourage Christian parents to help their children see themselves in God's story. Helping our kids see themselves in God's story allows us to  help them "figure out who they are and what they want" in light of their identity as a child of God.

Season 3, episode 7: "Love and Marriage in the You Do You Era."

When relationships are simply an additional tool for you to be "your best self" or to find who you are...then you know you're living in the You do You Era.

Today we chat about how love, and marriage itself, has been influenced by the junk values of the YDYE. But, we don't just whine and complain. We also turn to the New Testament, especially Paul's theology of submission, in order to beckon Christians back to a cross-centered foundation for our most intimate relationships.
