$1M in your retirement account doesn’t make you rich. For one, wealth is not defined by the money in your bank account. And even if your monthly paycheck is high, that does NOT mean you are on the path to sitting pretty in retirement and passing down tons of money to your grandchildren. - Honestly, it often is quite the opposite.  But you can be wealthy, financially secure and pass down money to future generations.

After Justin Wolfenberg began to have kids he realized that fatherhood wasn’t about making his kids' lives fun. Instead, it was a way to lead a team on adventures. Even as young children, Justin made it his focus to build resilience in his children and push them to do hard things, overcome great obstacles and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment. In order to teach this, you must allow your children to suffer well by coming alongside them and showing them that hard work is good. It might not always be fun, but work is a good thing we were created to do. And pursing hard work yields great results. Listen to our latest podcast episode to hear how Justin did this for his family and how you can do this as well.

When I think about a Patriarch Family, I think of Joe Freudenberg and how he used his journey in life to make something new for his family. Joe went from youth ministry to a factory work. He knew needed to learn more in the areas of being a good father, financial responsibilities, and growing in his faith. He used his time working on the line in a factory to listen to hundreds of podcasts and books to grow in these areas. Whenever he would meet someone that had a rhythm in their family that he wanted, he would invite them to coffee and learn from their life experiences. Through humbling himself and growing in these areas, Joe started his own pickleball court construction company and God is using this to bless his family in innumerable ways. Listen to our latest podcast episode to hear his story.

It is very rare to find a family who says, I want to do exactly what my parents did. So many couples today are building something completely new for their families. They are inspired by new traditions of those around them and have begun incorporating those traditions in their family as well.  If this describes you, then you are a “New Patriarch.” We see you and we applaud what you are doing. We want to encourage you to continue to be bold as you try new things. It’s scary to step out of the box, but it is completely worth it. But while you are trying new things, don’t lose sight of your commitment to your marriage. Work together to strategically determine the new rhythms of your family and train up your children in the new ways they will go.  Links in this Episode Man of the House by C.J.

It’s become increasingly popular to have the goal of “retiring early.” We see Grandpa living in a retirement community where he plays golf all day and has no commitments. That sounds great! Why should I wait until I’m 65 to do that? I think I will be super frugal and start coasting along in life at 50. Sounds great, right? This is the heartbeat of the FIRE movement. (Financial Independence Retire Early) And while we love the tactics used to live debt free and save money, the goal is 100% self-focused. People who retire early do not feel more free and fulfilled, they actually feel more depressed and their lives feel meaningless.  Why is this? What does the Bible have to say about work? What good things can we take from this FIRE movement and use to glorify God and build generational wealth instead?

When I (Steven) first got married, I had a desire to find a marriage study that taught what the Bible directly said about marriage. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I made one. It has been tweaked and altered over the years and now it is ready to be passed on to you.  Outside of your relationship with God himself, there is no more important relationship in your life than with your wife. This relationship takes the development of skills that you will develop for the rest of your life.  God is the creator of marriage. How does he say it should work? What does the picture of Christ and his church mean for our marriage relationships? How can your story with your wife play out the bigger story of the larger story of God and his people? All this and so much more is included in the 10 week study. Click “Join My Tribe” to get the study for yourself.

There are often two ditches churches can find themselves in. There are the churches who think, my pastor is such a good public speaker. If he doesn’t EXACTLY fit in the qualifications of an elder, it’s ok. We are all just trying our best. I can look past this and that.  Then, there is another type of church whose members think it’s their personal responsibility to hold their pastor accountable to the qualifications of the elders and every implication that they think it holds. They are constantly on guard, looking for any potential sin in their pastor's lives.  Both of these ideas are wrong. But what isn’t wrong is the idea that there are very clear qualifications for elders and it is our responsibility to hold our pastors to them and be on guard for false teachers. How do we do this in a balanced and gracious way? Listen to our latest podcast episode to find out.
