In this episode, Jake shares the second step (and gives a...2022-11-0724 minStand Firm ParentsWarn Them Because ThisIn this episode, Jake continues sharing the Six Spiritual Prepper Steps and continues with the first “W” which stands for WARNING. We must share the warnings of turning away with our children. It’s important we all hear, heed, and realize these warnings apply to us. Internationally-renown prophecy teacher Nelson Walters joins Jake to talk more in depth about Biblical warnings. Nelson is asked which warning concerning the last days should parents be the most concerned about. He doesn’t hesitate in answering the question. He then shares why our children are even more in danger than we realize concerni...2022-10-2423 minStand Firm ParentsWe Must WarnThroughout a ten-year journey with Stand Firm, Jake has developed the Six Spiritual Prepper Steps. These six things will help our children have a faith that lasts. In this episode, Jake shares the first of these 5 W’s plus H. The first “W” stands for WARNING. We must share the warnings of turning away with our children. It’s important we all hear, heed, and realize these warnings apply to us. Throughout the episode Jake walks through Biblical warnings we need to prioritize and then takes time to communicate how to introduce those six steps. Jake mentioned his new...2022-10-1025 minStand Firm ParentsLet's Get PracticalFor most of this first season of Stand Firm Parents, host Jake McCandless and his guests have looked at what has proved to be the number one way to help children and teens have a faith that last which is helping them have a bigger story. A bigger story of mission and of the Bible. Before moving towards other factors in helping families have a faith that lasts, Jake recaps the season so far and gives practical advice. This is a must listen to episode for parents. Jake mentioned his new book, For Uncertain Times, which released S...2022-09-2626 minStand Firm ParentsStages for a Lasting FaithThough each episode Jake bridges the conversation to practical take-aways and advice, we parents need the nuts and bolts. In this episode, Jake and guest Olly Goldenberg of Children Can, serve up three practical steps. Olly Goldenberg’s longtime leading of one of the largest children’s ministries in Europe and his work around the globe has led to the development of three stages of faith necessary for not just a faith that lasts, but a vibrant and passionate faith. In the interview, Jake and Olly address that there are already standard stages accepted for children and faith. The work...2022-09-1226 minStand Firm ParentsRaise Standards for Stand-ersAnother guest from across the pond joins Jake to talk about raising children that will stand firm. Olly Goldenberg was a children’s pastor in one of the largest children’s ministries in Europe for fifteen years. He now leads Children Can and hosts the podcast Raising Stand-ers. The connection between Jake and Olly is obvious as both have a heart to help children and teens have a sold-out faith that lasts. Originally, Jake interviewed Olly because of the faith framework he has developed to help parents and children ministries contribute to the continued development of faith in their chil...2022-08-2928 minStand Firm ParentsThe WayHearing that it takes conflict to give children a great story combined with the need to present them with a greater story sent Stand Firm Parents host, Jake McCandless, reeling. Over the last two episodes, he dived into how as parents can embrace conflict and help children navigate through it. In this third conversation about conflict in our children’s stories, Jake takes us back to the time of the first followers of Jesus. What Jewish leadership called this new movement reveals how Christianity is meant to be lived out, but also the great story our children have been in...2022-08-1518 minStand Firm ParentsNo NeutralThe guest from episode six sent the search for how to give families a faith that lasts in a new trajectory, leaving host, Jake McCandless, scrambling. It had been established we need to give our children a greater story. Asking his literary agent, what makes a great story, Cyle Young shared that it was conflict. This has left Jake considering how we should bring this understanding of conflict into the Christian parenting realm. In the previous episode, Jake shared how that when it comes to dealing with conflict, American believers are at a disadvantage. In this episode, Jake shares...2022-08-0122 minStand Firm ParentsGive Them ConflictStill reeling from his literary agent and writing guru, Cyle Young’s answer to what makes a great story, Jake pauses to wrestle with how to embrace conflict in the story of our children’s lives. Modern American Christian parenting is focused on sheltering children from the difficulties in life, while at the same time the number one reason for Americans leaving the faith is due to facing difficulties. Maybe this paradox holds the answer to helping our families have a faith that lasts. Jake dives deeper into what it means for parents to embrace conflict and prepare their chil...2022-07-1823 minStand Firm ParentsWhat Makes A Great StoryThe previous episode shared research and evidence that giving our children a better story—a bigger story of Christianity—would help them have a faith that lasts. Talking about our “story” is trendy, we see it and hear it often, but what truly makes a story great. To breakdown this idea of giving a better story, Jake invited his literary agent, Cyle Young, on to talk about what makes a great story. Leaning into Cyle’s knowledge in the writing world as an author and one of the leading agents in the business, we are able to dissect how to guide o...2022-07-0425 minStand Firm ParentsGive A Better StoryIn a decade of researching why the emerging generation leaves the church and the faith, Jake has gained tremendous insight. In this episode, Jake shares the number one step towards helping our children have a faith that lasts. The introduction of this step and direction is something parents can’t miss. Jake relays parental advice that author Donald Miller shared in his book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years and it’s the advice for business Donald shares through his StoryBrand training and books. Check out this important advice and help your children engage in a better story to h...2022-06-2024 minStand Firm ParentsLiving The Better GoalIn the previous episode, Jake shared a better goal for our parenting—our children actively following Jesus. Keeping the discussion about a better goal going, Jake visits with author and producer Stephanie Quick as she lives out this better goal and better story. Stephanie shares how actively following Jesus leads to unexpected adventure as she tells of her work in the Middle East with Frontier Alliance International. Living out this better goal will help our children have a faith that lasts. Stephanie gives insight on how the dynamic of her following Jesus to new frontiers has...2022-06-0626 minStand Firm ParentsA Better GoalAs the saying goes, “If you don’t have a target, you’re not going to hit anything.” One of the contributing factors to Christian children and teens eventually leaving the church and often the faith is that there wasn’t goal in parenting them. Typically, Christian parents have an assumed goal, but have never actually formulated that goal and articulated. By having just an assumption of goals it’s possible that parents don’t have the absolute best goal. They may be good goals but are they the best. Stand Firm Parents host Jake McCandless isn’t...2022-05-2324 min
Radical LifestyleJake McCandless (The Millennial Reign)2022-05-2059 minStand Firm ParentsThe Unfortunate RealityChristian parents need to know the reality that they’re up against. One of the compounding causes to children leaving the church and eventually the faith is that we’re not looking in the mirror. Instead, churches and parents are avoiding the unfortunate reality they are facing in raising their children. The odds aren’t in our favor. The statistics are heart-breaking. Understanding the importance of us assessing the battlefield, host pastor and author Jake McCandless visits with Ken Ham of Answering in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter. Ken Ham and Britt Beemer’s 2009 book, Already Gone: Wh...2022-05-0925 minStand Firm ParentsOur Great OpportunityChildren raised in church and Christian homes are leaving the faith in droves—yes, droves. Yet, we keep returning to the same training and teaching for parenting advice, it’s time we shake it up. It’s time for a different approach. Stand Firm Parents takes that different approach beginning with visiting with mother and son duo—Daphne Kirk and Andrew Kirk. Together they lead the ministry Generation 2 Generation which has worked for many years in over forty countries reconnecting the generations and preparing them “for such a time as this." Their commitment to helping churches develop multi-generational ministry strategies...2022-05-0526 min
