About Resilient Kids:

Children need to believe their future is bright. The more disappointments they don’t recover well from, the less likely they are to dream. When they do not process challenging experiences well it can lead to defeat, rather than encourage them to grow and mature. Far too many children don’t grasp their strengths and, as a result do not believe they can overcome negative encounters. Apathy sets in. Discouragement persists. Arguments rage. Mental health suffers. Children need to be resilient and when they develop this ability and make wise choices it becomes part of their character. Furthermore, they need parents who help them to learn from negative experiences and who allow them a certain measure of struggle. In Resilient Kids moms and dads will learn the power and purpose of resilience and how to parent so as to make it more likely their children will utilize this character quality.

Discipleshipe 2023 Series: The Dynamic Duo

In this second part of a three-part series on modern-day discipleship, we bring back Joe Svoboda and bring in Jeff McDaniel. Building on the last episode and the fact that we need to understand our God-given identities, the guys bring into the fact that Christians then have a mission to undertake...but in community with others. Humans, and Christians, are neither made nor called to operate alone. Therefore the next step after learning our identity is to determine the mission and get after it. Listen in as the guys talk through this important topic!

Discipleship 2023 Series: The Road Less Traveled with Joe Svoboda

While Christianity and the Church are growing in some parts of the world, there is a noticeable decline of Christianity in western churches. Why is this? In this first of a three-part series on modern-day discipleship, we interview Joe Svoboda. Joe is the founder of "Reproducible Discipleship." Having served as a discipleship consultant for ministries all over the United States, Africa, Asia and SE Asia, Joe has had the privilege of watching believers grow in discipleship competence with results that transcended cultural barriers. Additionally, he has seen those disciples go on to disciple others, who are now discipling others, who are now discipling others. This generational view of disciple-making is one way in which the western church can start to experience the revival that is definitely needed. Listen in to hear Joe's wisdom about identity and generational discipleship.
