The worst advice you might be whispering to yourself is…”Just stay the course and do it better; it will all work out”
The right PROACTIVE CHANGE is necessary.
We must level up as the game is changing fast. This is true as fathers, husbands, and leaders.

Just because you are looking in the same direction doesn’t mean you are going in the same direction in influencing your family.
Don’t make assumptions that everything is good. Assumptions will wake you up down the road with a heaviness of regret.
It takes proactive thoughtfulness to navigate your decisions that influence your family legacy and the Christian norms in society will most likely fail your family.
I promise you this; you will let people down when you make the best decisions for your family.
You have to be willing to do what’s hard, go against the grain, and lead your family.
You have to BE RESOLUTE! Which means admirably purposeful, steadfast and unwavering.
Get together with your bride and ask these 3 tough questions:
“How is our family really doing?”
“How are you doing?”
“How can I improve…?”
If you do that, know you are of the few. But it takes doing what others aren’t willing to to experience fruit in your family most never see.
Join me and my bride in the Courageous Parenting Program to ensure you are aligned on a biblical parenting plan that is strong enough for your family to thrive in unprecedented times.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
-1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Lock eyes in a unified mission in influencing a faith-filled legacy.
The more purposeful you become the more interference you will experience.
You have to have rhino skin in these unprecedented times which comes from a strong and growing relationship with God.
Unfortunately you will experience friendly fire as your decisions will at times conflict with the will others have for you.
You will experience seeds of doubt gently cast by others, where you will need the strength and unification in your marriage to spur each other on!
The Lord inspired us to create a resource that has helped thousands of parents unify their marriage on their legacy minded family mission and plan.
It’s called the Courageous Parenting Program. Self-paced, forever access, and immediately available.

Want tips to help your children understand the meaning of Easter?
Here’s last weeks Courageous Parenting podcast episode “Preparing Your Kids for Resurrection Sunday”
So much of society separates children by age; whether church programs, school, sports…
It’s no wonder children start to prefer only spending time with people their age or older, they’ve been taught unintentionally that this is the way to be.
While some things like organized sports make sense, be careful, because before you know it they will often become hardened towards their siblings.
We have experienced so much bonding amongst our children of all ages, but it’s not an accident; we bucked the system and kept them all together as much as possible.
In our home, if Tolpin’s aren’t right with each other, then there’s no point in spending time with others until we are.
Strong sibling relationships are vital, it’s not easy but it’s worthy.
Fight hard for this, but it will have to include saying no to good things and finding other things they can all do together at times.
It will also take consistent intentional effort to go against the grain of society and impress upon them the value of all ages.
A new Courageous Parenting podcast episode comes out every Tuesday! Biblically grounded parenting wisdom relevant to the issues these unprecedented times bring.
Don’t miss this week’s Courageous Parenting podcast which is all about this and more, full of encouraging stories as well.

We discuss this and more on this week’s Courageous Parenting podcast.
The best place for young children is with their parents. Look for ways you can pursue age integration instead of separation.
The world has dramatically changed. We encourage parents to rethink about any situations where they are without their children.
This has nothing to do with fear, we must walk in wisdom about who we allow to influence or be with our children without us.
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
-Ephesians 5:15-17

There is a drought in biblical conviction in society today.
Does this mean that children are being influenced away from biblical truth in the middle school years and then swaying their parents away from biblical truth on societies hot button issues?
Or perhaps it means that the children didn’t stand firm in the faith against peer influences because their parents didn’t disciple their children, and that weakness continues allowing the children to sway the parents?
BARNA studies show that only 4% of adults in America hold a biblical worldview and that drops to 2% of adults who also have pre-teens.
We discuss this in the new Courageous Parenting podcast.
We teach parents how to disciple their children in the courageous parenting program.
