Teaching Methods for Kids
00:00:02
Speaker
And so essentially, I practiced what I would develop later as long story short and old story new on my kids. And so I thought, okay, I don't know what to teach, but here's what I want. I want to make sure that whatever I teach from the Bible, my kids are getting the gospel.
Exploring Beliefs with Christian Writers
00:00:26
Speaker
This is Straight to the Heart, a podcast from New Growth Press hosted by me, Rush Witt. Each episode includes thought-provoking conversations with leading Christian writers and thinkers. We hear who they are, what they believe, how they approach their work in ministry, and the moments and people who have changed their lives.

00:00:53
Speaker
And one thing I had to learn the hard way from my ministry career was that, like I said earlier, I can't just go, go, go all the time. I'm not meant to be, you know, this independent do it all person who is trying to live as though they don't need to take a break sometimes.

Balancing Personal Faith and Family
00:01:30
Speaker
Where's your heart in this? And I just try to be pretty direct and just explore, like talk to me, what's going on? And then maybe I'll be so blunt as to share and say,
00:01:42
Speaker
You know, if I didn't have my time with the Lord in the morning, I'm telling you. I mean, you may think I'm a pretty okay dad, you know, most of the time. I would be a wreck. I would be a terrible dad and a terrible husband. I need Jesus.
