Everyday ReformationYour Home Is Not a Retreat—It’s a Mission OutpostWhat happened to the productive household? In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Pastor Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter unpack the biblical, historical, and practical vision of the home—not as a place of consumption, but as a center of dominion, discipleship, and joyful work under Christ’s lordship.
We trace how the Industrial Revolution, modern feminism, and cultural consumerism dismantled the household—and how Christian families can begin to rebuild it from the ground up.
This is not a call to nostalgia. It’s a call to obedience.

The Brian Dainsberg Podcast"Get Back to Work!": Reflections on Work Ethic"Where have all the workers gone?" This question has become a frequently repeated one. And it's a very important one. But showing up isn't enough. When you do show up, work hard! Put forth your best effort. Not because you're attempting to amass a materially affluent kingdom, but out of love for the customers, clients, and people your work serves.Resources:Teach Them to Work: Building a Positive Work Ethic in Our Children - Mary BeekeGrace at Work: Redeeming the Grind and the Glory of Your Job - Bryan Chapell

VOH-PodcastMary Beeke - Lehre sie zu arbeitenVor kurzem las unsere Tochter, die verheiratet und Mutter von drei kleinen Kindern ist, einen Blog über das Muttersein. Eine junge Mutter fragte: »Soll ich die Spülmaschine ausräumen, während meine Tochter wach ist? Oder sollte ich nur mit ihr spielen?« Heutzutage herrscht die Meinung vor, dass die beste Erziehung darin bestehe, mit den Kindern zu spielen – sei es zum Lernen oder zum Spaß –, und zwar während ihrer gesamten Tageszeit. Von Kindern zu verlangen, schon in jungen Jahren eine Aufgabe im Haushalt zu übernehmen, wäre grausam und der Inbegriff von »Kinderarbeit«!
Ich würde dem sofort widersprechen. Ar...

Wenn wir uns von den derzeitigen Weltanschauungen mitreißen lassen, können wir uns zweier Dinge sicher sein: Es wird uns an Zufriedenheit fehlen, und die Trends werden sich auch wieder ändern. Es gibt einen besseren Weg. Liebe Schwestern, man mag uns als »unzeitgemäß« bezeichnen, aber der ursprüngliche Plan unseres Schöpfers ist immer noch sehr gut. Je mehr wir ihn annehmen, desto mehr Segen werden wir ernten.
