Jeff Grenell, founder of Ythology, hammers home the importance of keeping up with current culture so we can be relative and relatable to Gen Z. With four decades of youth pastor experience, he explains how the easiest way to guide teenagers in truth is to communicate with them in their context. Jeff explains the top 10 signs of a sexually healthy home and 10 great conversation starters on how to have “the talk.” He shares how parents have to become more comfortable in addressing these hot topics, because young people are very straight-forward in talking about sex and gender topics. As a nationally recognized youth ministry veteran, Jeff reminds us that healthy families raise healthy kids, who transform society.

Lauren Schmitz is the creator of the blog, The Simple Homeschooler. She is a former emergency room nurse who began homeschooling her children and she’s offering insightful tips and tricks about how to keep your little ones entertained during the hotter months while preventing the “summer slide” of learning that can be hard to overcome in the fall. “A two-and-a-half month break,” Lauren shares, “is a little out of balance.” She gives fun learning ideas to keep kids invigorated during the school break, while also keeping the day open for memory-making fun!

May 8, 2024 • Tina Griffin
Restoring the man in manhood and the father in the family is Justin Batt’s mission, and it’s one that he is excelling at. Justin is the founder of BestMan Media, which encourages men to pursue “reckless obedience by activating the calling God has on their life.” Justin’s foray into men’s ministries began when he kick-started a tradition with his children called “Daddy Saturday,” where he intentionally spent time with his children and planned fun activities for them to do together. Now, Justin helps men foster loving and wonderful relationships with their own kids, using a Biblical worldview as his guiding light. Justin focuses on being intentional, present (not perfect), and prioritizing his marriage to cultivate a healthy and happy home life. TAKEAWAYS Marriage comes first - you have to make it a priority in your life and pray for your husband, always The root of everything that Justin does is his Biblical worldview, which he has fused with positive business practices that are effective If you want your husband to spend more time cultivating a relationship with your kids, approach the subject with grace and kindness Grab Justin’s book, Daddy Saturday: How to Be an Intentional Dad to Raise Good Kids Who Become Great Adults 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Fatherhood Festival video: https://bit.ly/3xfp8kq Stand Up Now Apparel (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3q49r15 Daddy Saturday book: https://amzn.to/3wpx4wa 🔗 CONNECT WITH JUSTIN BATT Website: https://daddysaturday.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedaddysaturdayhttp://www.facebook.com/thedaddysaturday Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daddysaturday/http://www.instagram.com/daddysaturday X: https://twitter.com/justinbatt LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinbatt/http://www.linkedin.com/in/justinbatt 🔗 CONNECT WITH BESTMAN CO Website: https://bestmanco.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH FATHERHOOD FESTIVAL Website: https://fatherhoodfestival.com/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/jaseccm Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Ascent Nutrition (get 10% off with code TINA): https://goascentnutrition.com/tina Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
