Culture Is Teaching Our Kids About Marriage—Are We? Dr. Josh Mulvihill

Our culture is already teaching our children what to believe about marriage—often at a very young age. So the question isn’t if they’re being discipled on this topic, but who is doing the discipling.In this powerful excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, host Aby Rinella sits down with Dr. Josh Mulvihill to discuss why Christian parents—especially homeschool families—must be intentional about preparing their children for marriage long before adulthood.Dr. Mulvihill explains how cultural messages are reshaping marriage into a “capstone” rather than a God-designed cornerstone, why confusion about marriage leads to broken relationships later in life, and how even young children can begin understanding God’s good design for family.This conversation will encourage parents to:Teach a biblical definition of marriageStart these conversations early and oftenEquip children to make wise decisions in dating and relationshipsView marriage through God’s purpose—not personal fulfillment📌 Marriage doesn’t happen by accident—and neither does preparation.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for more encouragement and biblical insight.⁠⁠Ready to join the homeschool revolution?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry!Please consider making a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation to support the ongoing ministry of Schoolhouse Rocked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Christian parents are facing questions we’ve never had to answer before—about education, college, and now artificial intelligence.In this conversation, Meeke Addison interviews Dr. Renton Rathbun about why Christian families must rethink the default educational path and begin asking better, more biblical questions—especially as AI reshapes how our children will learn and work.Dr. Rathbun challenges the assumption that college is always the next step after homeschooling and explains why simply adding “Bible” to secular systems isn’t enough. As artificial intelligence accelerates change, parents must prepare their children not just with skills, but with wisdom, discernment, and biblical thinking.This episode is especially relevant for homeschooling parents, Christian educators, and families seeking a faithful approach to education in an AI-driven world.Topics covered include:Why Christian education often copies secular modelsRethinking college as the default next stepPreparing kids to work with AI responsiblyAsking biblical questions about learning and vocationTraining children for wisdom—not just credentials▶️ Watch now and start asking the right questions.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for more encouragement and biblical insight.⁠⁠Ready to join the homeschool revolution?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry!Please consider making a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation to support the ongoing ministry of Schoolhouse Rocked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Are we preparing our children for marriage—or unintentionally delaying it?In this powerful excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, host Aby Rinella sits down with Dr. Josh Mulvihill, Executive Director of Church & Family Ministry at Renewanation, to talk about what it truly means to prepare our children for marriage in a culture that discourages it.Dr. Mulvihill challenges modern assumptions about dating, marriage, and family, urging Christian parents to think biblically—not culturally—about relationships. He shares why dating should always have marriage as the goal, how Scripture guides the timing of relationships, and why encouraging early marriage and children is not reckless—but faithful.This conversation is especially relevant for homeschooling families seeking to disciple their children with clarity, conviction, and hope for the future.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for more encouragement and biblical insight.⁠⁠Ready to join the homeschool revolution?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry!Please consider making a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation to support the ongoing ministry of Schoolhouse Rocked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this powerful conversation, host Aby Rinella sits down with Dr. Josh Mulvihill to discuss one of the most important—and often overlooked—responsibilities of parents: preparing our children for marriage.Dr. Mulvihill shares a clear, biblical vision of marriage as other-centered rather than self-centered, explaining why selfishness is one of the greatest threats to lifelong unity. He unpacks God’s design for marriage, the distinct roles of husband and wife, and the intentional habits parents can model at home to prepare their children for healthy, God-honoring relationships.You’ll also hear practical wisdom on:Teaching children the purpose of marriage from a young ageWhy clarity about biblical roles matters in today’s cultureHow simple questions like “How can I serve you?” and “How can I help you?” shape future marriagesWhen—and why—dating should be connected to the goal of marriageThis excerpt is especially encouraging for Christian parents who want to disciple their children with conviction, clarity, and grace in a confusing cultural moment.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for more encouragement and biblical insight.⁠⁠Ready to join the homeschool revolution?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry!Please consider making a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation to support the ongoing ministry of Schoolhouse Rocked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming one of the most influential “teachers” in our children’s lives—but is it shaping how they understand truth, knowledge, and the world itself?In this conversation, Meeke Addison interviews Dr. Renton Rathbun about how Christian parents should respond to AI and prepare their children to work with it wisely—without surrendering a biblical worldview. Dr. Rathbun explains how AI reinforces compartmentalized thinking, why “objective” machine knowledge is never truly neutral, and what parents must do to ensure their kids understand all of life through God’s Word.This discussion challenges parents to become biblical worldview experts in their own homes, to actively engage their children’s media, education, and technology use, and to train them to think critically in a culture increasingly shaped by machines.👉 Topics covered:How AI subtly reshapes how kids define truthWhy worldview formation matters more than everThe danger of compartmentalized thinkingPractical ways parents can train discernmentPreparing kids to live faithfully in an AI-driven culture🎧 Watch the full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for more encouragement and biblical insight.⁠⁠Ready to join the homeschool revolution?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry!Please consider making a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation to support the ongoing ministry of Schoolhouse Rocked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
