On this episode of The Family Conversations podcast we explore why sincere belief alone isn’t the whole picture. Bobby Harrington points to 1 Corinthians 15 and the resurrection: Christian faith rests on what God has done in history. Jordan Arnold explains how Jesus’ claims about himself distinguish him from other religious figures. The group also discusses why the real Jesus, as revealed in Scripture, matters more than the versions we may shape around our own assumptions.

In this bonus episode, hosts Collin and Caitlyn talk with Daniel McCoy about the family discipleship book Real Life Theology Conversations and how families can use it to build a gospel-centered foundation for their kids.
They explain the book’s question-and-answer format, five-part conversations, and offer practical tips—how to start conversations, carve out time, spark engagement with healthy tension, and adapt discussions for different ages.
Daniel encourages parents to be flexible, give themselves grace, and keep returning to these conversations, and the episode closes with a preview of the next topic: why the Bible is our final authority.
