💬 What if reclaiming a few “dangerous” and neglected biblical words could rescue the next generation—and even the soul of our civilization?

In this must-listen episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine welcomes Scott Allen, president of the Disciple Nations Alliance and author of the groundbreaking new book, 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World.

Together, they explore three words that once shaped the West but are now often misunderstood or even maligned:

Authority. Faith. Beauty.

These words may sound old-fashioned—or even problematic—but their true, biblical meanings are desperately needed in today’s world.

🎧 Why This Episode Matters

Scott Allen has spent decades equipping Christian leaders around the globe. His message is clear: If we lose these words, we lose the foundation of freedom, flourishing, and faith.

Whether you’re parenting toddlers or teenagers, mentoring youth, or simply longing to be salt and light in a crumbling culture—this conversation will reframe your worldview.

 

🔑 Key Takeaways🔹 Authority — From Trigger Word to World-Changing Truth

"Authority" has become almost a dirty word in modern culture. But Jesus didn’t abolish hierarchy—He redefined it through servant leadership.

“If you want to be great… you must become a servant.” — Scott Allen

✔️ Learn how to model biblical authority in your home.
✔️ Discover how Christ-like leadership transforms power from oppression into blessing.

 

🔹 Faith — Not Blind Belief, But Reasoned Trust

Faith is often mocked as naïve. But biblical faith is trustworthiness—firm, tested, and grounded.

“Faith in the Bible is trust. It’s trustworthiness. Something is trustworthy.”

✔️ Help your children see that Christian faith is not a leap into the dark, but a reasoned trust in a trustworthy God.

 

🔹 Beauty — The Forgotten Apologetic

Beauty isn’t optional. It’s one of the three transcendentals, alongside truth and goodness. And when the church neglects beauty, we surrender cultural influence.

“If we forsake beauty, we literally gift-wrap the culture and hand it over to the enemy.” — Catherine

✔️ See how beauty restores hope—even in the darkest places.
✔️ Reignite wonder in your home, even if you’re not an “artist.”

 

🌟 Memorable Moments

💡 On Authority

“He doesn’t abolish hierarchy… but completely redefines it.”

🎨 On Beauty

“We created the vacuum, and then what do we do? We shake a naughty finger at ‘bad Hollywood’... instead, we must reclaim the artistry God intended for His people.”

🌾 On Hope Through Beauty

Hear the story of how a simple, clean street helped someone in despair believe that life could be beautiful again.

 

📣 Final Takeaway

The future of our families—and our civilization—depends on how we define and live out authority, faith, and beauty.

These aren't just theological words. They're parenting tools. Cultural lifelines. Civilization-shaping truths.

Let’s reclaim the words that built the West—and hand them down with clarity, courage, and conviction.
