If we are going to swim God’s direction in this downstream culture, people will think that we are odd. They will have all kinds of choice words to describe us. We need to have this expectation in life, and we need to give our kids this expectation as well. If our children stay true to God’s Word and God’s standard, our culture will not celebrate them. In fact, our culture will accuse and may even cancel them. Other Christians may accuse and cancel them. But that’s ok. We stand in good company when we are accused and canceled for our faith. This episode is the first in a series on being a counter-cultural Christian. In order to do that, we need to (1) stay grounded in the Word, and (2) draw inspiration from those who swam upstream before us. In this first installment, Catherine gives some practical tips and lots of Biblical inspiration to help us swim upstream in our downstream culture.PODCASTS REFERENCED:CPCW 4-part Worldview series – you can find all the episodes at https://www.lifeaudio.com/christian-parent-crazy-world/episodes Episode 6: Why You Should Teach Your Kids About Other WorldviewsEpisode 7: What Other Worldviews Are Competing for Your Kids’ FaithEpisode 8: What Sets the Christian Worldview Apart from Other WorldviewsEpisode 9: How Does the Christian Worldview Create a World We All Want To Live In?Episode 4: Is Christianity Just a Religion of Do’s and Don’tsSCRIPTURES REFERENCED:Hebrews 4:12 Proverbs 14:12RESOURCES FOR SCRIPTURE SONGS:Catherine Segars’ Website: Resources : https://catherinesegars.com/resourcesEsther Mui: Scripture Songs for Worship: http://www.scripturesongsforworship.com/Seeds Family Worship: https://bit.ly/2YOHnrpThe Corner Room: https://bit.ly/3CckdJ2Sherri Youngward: http://www.sherriyoungward.com/King Things: https://bit.ly/3qzp5Wy The Bigsby Show - Books of the Bible Song: https://bit.ly/3kAQWC0The Bigsby Show - 12 Disciples Song - https://bit.ly/2YOI9EPASL Page on Handspeak (motions to aid in Scripture memory): https://www.handspeak.com/word/ARTICLES REFERENCED: “Factose Intolerance,” by Cheryl Lowe, Memoria Press: https://www.memoriapress.com/articles/factose-intolerance***Follow Catherine:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catherinesegars/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motherhoodfaithandculture/Episode Image Credit: Getty/PeterHermesFurianSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
