“When you see creation, it’s a reflection of who God is. What better way to show your kids His character than to invite them into it with you?”

In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, we’re diving into the joy, purpose, and eternal value of family adventures—not for the sake of activity, but for the sake of discipleship. Whether you're hiking a trail, camping under the stars, or simply walking the sidewalk in your neighborhood, God has woven His character into creation—and it’s meant to be seen.

Through personal stories and biblical encouragement from Psalm 19 and Deuteronomy 6, we explore how intentional family time—especially in God’s creation—cultivates wonder, conversation, and connection. You don’t have to be an outdoorsy family to start this. You just need margin, intentionality, and eyes to see God’s handiwork.

Key Takeaways:

• Why your kids’ sense of wonder is a God-given gift meant to be nurtured
• How Psalm 19 shows us that creation proclaims the character of God
• Practical ways to create family adventures (no camping gear required!)
• Why margin matters—and how overscheduling robs you of relational discipleship
• How outdoor time becomes a natural platform for gospel conversations
• The importance of quiet, curiosity, and unhurried time in shaping your child’s heart

Whether you're already planning hikes or just figuring out how to slow down, this episode will give you both biblical vision and practical encouragement for raising kids who see God in the world He made.

“What if not being enough isn’t your failure—but actually God’s design?”

In today’s deeply personal episode, John Lane brings a heartfelt message every parent, spouse, and believer needs to hear: you are not enough—and that’s exactly where God begins. With honesty, vulnerability, and rich biblical truth, John walks through the tension so many of us carry in our daily roles: Am I enough to lead my family well? To raise godly children? To love my spouse faithfully? To handle what life demands?

While culture constantly tells us, “You’ve got this,” Scripture paints a better picture—one where our insufficiency is met with Christ’s sufficiency. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 12, Proverbs 3, Psalm 1, and Psalm 23, this episode is a refreshing reset for any weary parent feeling the weight of having to hold it all together.

John reminds us that our strength, purpose, and parenting confidence aren’t found in ourselves—but in the faithfulness of our Shepherd who says, “My grace is sufficient for you.”

Key Takeaways:

• Why the cultural message “you are enough” sounds encouraging—but ultimately burdens us
• How Scripture reframes our identity, not in self-reliance but in Christ-dependence
• What Psalm 23 teaches about daily provision, spiritual confidence, and God’s covenant care
• The danger of telling our kids they’re “enough” without pointing them to who they are in Christ
• How to parent from a place of humility, trust, and gospel-rooted confidence

Whether you’re overwhelmed in your parenting, wrestling with self-doubt, or simply need to be reminded of where your strength truly lies—this episode will leave you encouraged and anchored in truth that lasts.
