The cultural conversation over gender, masculinity and femininity hasn't let up. Why? Because a secular culture can only offer confusion. However, Christians are well-positioned to lead the way forward, knowing the God who designed masculinity and femininity. But what exactly does this look like in real life? And how do we help our sons and daughters explore and embrace their sex. In this first episode of a two-part series, Brett and Erin interview author Glenn Stanton from Focus on the Family about his book "Raising Secure Daughters and Confident Sons," and hone in on the topic of masculinity.

It's not easy to lose a parent. It’s a season of life that we all must navigate at some point in our lives and one that raises many questions about how we should view life and death as Christians. How does the Christian worldview apply to funerals? Is there a Christian view of cremation versus burial? In this episode, Brett and Erin reflect upon the loss of Brett's dad, which occurred in April of 2025, and all that they had to think through in preparing for that event.

There's a popular belief in our culture today that having kids is hard, a burden, and a sure way to lose your independence. In short, having kids is a quick path to being unhappy in the mind of the culture, and if something doesn't make you happy, it's not worth pursuing. But is this idea true? Many of you parents out there would likely answer: No! In this episode, Brett and Erin react and respond to recent comments made by Gen Z pop singer Chappell Roan about how she doesn't know any parents who are happy.
