FOR AUDIO - CLICK IMAGE
Is courtship better than dating? Are families who practice courtship instead of dating out of touch, or have they found a method of creating solid marriages?
Thomas Umstattd, Jr. joins us once again to discuss how courtship became a component of Christian homeschooling in it's early decades, why parents were compelled to try something other than our cultural dating norms, and how it, too, can fall short of its intended purpose. Whether you are in favor of courtship, dating, or a combination of the two, we think you'll enjoy this episode and conversation and hope it spurs on good things in your own home.

In this final installment of our three-part series on financial fear, we're returning to our roots and discussing how hope shifting can factor into our fear when it comes to finances.
More regularly described as idolatry, "hope shifting" simply means that we're putting our hope in something other than God for our well-being and care, a habit that comes easily to many of us living and working in first-world countries. How does the idea that we can and should provide for ourselves and our families too often morph into a belief that our hard work and stockpiling will be what ultimately brings us security?
We're talking all about hope shifting, finances, and the freedom that relying on the true provider can bring to our marriages and families.
