COURAGEOUS PARENTING

Isaac and Angie have been married for 26 years, raised nine children together, and have a marriage that's thriving, not by accident, but on purpose. In this episode, they share four principles for proactively protecting and strengthening your marriage during unprecedented times, along with candid stories from their own journey.
If you don't proactively protect your marriage, you'll end up reacting to problems that never needed to happen in the first place. The enemy is actively working to destroy Christian marriages, but the Lord has given us the responsibility to nourish and guard what He's given us.
Listen in, and start applying these four principles to shift your marriage today.

Your kids are growing up in an unbelief epidemic, and you can't save them, but you can disciple them. In this first episode of a new series inside the Resolute Man Podcast, I lay out why fatherhood today is unprecedented (juggling multiple income sources, an accelerating pace of change, a culture that's beating down masculinity) and why home discipleship matters more than ever.
I introduce the plan: a daily, Monday through Thursday walk through Proverbs, giving you practical tips and clear teaching on small sections of Scripture your family can actually use, plus a father in unprecedented times tip at the end of each episode.
You'll also get the simple formula for teaching your family: Promote, Read, Ask, Yearn. It's built to be practical, not just inspirational, so you can actually do it with your kids this week.
Scripture referenced: Deuteronomy 6:7 through 9

Don't let overwhelm rob your home of peace, productivity, and joy. In this episode of Courageous Parenting, Isaac and Angie Tolpin share two simple, biblical steps to recalibrate your family with clarity — and build the rhythms that actually last.
Barna's 2026 research found that only 1% of Gen Z holds a biblical worldview — proof that "normal" Christian parenting rhythms aren't working. Don't let your family conform to what's normal. Think clearly about what's best.
This episode gives you a clear two-step plan the Tolpins use to keep thriving as a family whenever overwhelm creeps in. Stop letting overwhelm steal your joy — do these two things today.

Dustin Garrett was addicted to heroin, nearly took his life in prison, and is now a strong Christian husband and father. Episode 413 of Courageous Parenting.
He shares what he believes his parents could have done better when the early signs of waywardness first appeared — and what his father eventually did that was exactly what he needed, even though he hated it at the time.
You'll hear why tough love becomes necessary once a child is fully in a prodigal season, and how well-meaning help can actually prolong the problem instead of solving it.
Perhaps the most powerful moment in this conversation: the testimony of his grandmother, who kept speaking God's truth over him for years even when no one was listening — and who ended up playing a key role in his eventual return to Jesus. Too many parents let discouragement stop them from pointing their kids to Christ. This episode is a reminder that consistency matters more than results you can see right away.
If you're watching a child drift and aren't sure whether to tighten your grip or let go, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Here's an Apple Podcasts version — same content, but formatted for Apple's platform conventions (plain URLs instead of markdown links, no video tags since Apple doesn't use them, and structured so the strongest hook lands in the first couple lines, since that's what shows before "see more" gets tapped):
Get a candid behind-the-scenes look at what God's doing with the Tolpin's large family — full of powerful takeaways you can apply in your own. Do you want your family to be even more intentional about serving the Lord together?
Is there anything God wants you to obey Him in, but you're not sure how to move forward? You'll learn something the Tolpins have experienced to be true and were reminded of while on their personal marriage retreat recently.
They'll teach you the new marriage exercise they came up with that encouraged their marriage immensely, and also encouraged them to continue being obedient to the Lord when it isn't clear how it's even possible to do it. They get candid about the Lord's call to plant another Rooted Bible Church in a neighboring town this fall, and invite you to pray with them as they move forward.
This is sure to empower you in the unique journey the Lord has for you and your family.
