What is your favorite memory from your childhood? What makes those memories good memories?  In this episode, Candace and Jennie are focusing on emotions and parenting. The truth is that we all need to know that we are seen, soothed, and safe in our emotions – especially kids. We aren’t alone in our emotions, and neither are our children. We get to be there for them emotionally, so does Jesus. Feelings don’t heal when we ignore them; they heal when we are wrapped up by the people we love in the middle of them.  Listen in as Candace and Jennie talk about their personal experiences parenting young children + adult children, being fully present to the emotions of your children (no matter their age), and what they have learned from struggling to “fix” things for their kids.  Parenting isn’t a one-size fits all – and emotions aren’t the same for every child. How do we foster emotional health in our children? Tune in to hear more!  In this episode, Jennie talks about the book: Story of God.

Or do you see emotions showing up in different ways?  In this week’s episode, Candace and Jennie dive into how your emotional health plays a role in your relationship with your spouse. Listen in as they reflect on their own marriages, talk about practical things they do to stay connected to their husbands emotionally, how they resolve conflict, and the deep value intentional counseling has had on them.  “What if my spouse doesn’t want to go to marriage counseling or doesn’t want to work on their emotional health?” This is a common question! Candace and Jennie share their insights and personal experiences with counseling + healing their personal emotional health, and how that has led to healing within their marriages. Because the reality is that you have the power and choice to control your emotional health, and you can bring that into your marriage and family relationships.  Connect with Candace and Jennie: Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Jennie on Instagram @jennieallen  Grab Jennie’s book: Untangle Your Emotions Pick up Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas Thank you to this episode’s sponsors: Good Ranchers  The Dwell Bible App

God gave us emotions but He doesn’t want our emotions to drive the train of our lives. If God’s will for your life is driving the train, your emotions and thoughts will follow. But if your emotions are driving the train, what happens?  In this episode, Candace and Jennie talk about what it looks like to submit your will to Jesus with your day-to-day emotions, taking hold of your emotions, halting your thoughts from spiraling, and the power of speaking your emotions out loud to a trusted community.  Emotions are a gift from God but what you choose to do with them is up to you. Will you allow your emotions to drive your train? Listen to this conversation to hear why submitting your emotions you God’s will is the better choice.  Connect with Candace and Jennie: Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Jennie on Instagram @jennieallen  Grab Jennie’s book: Untangle Your Emotions Thank you to this episode’s sponsors: Good Ranchers Someone Like You Movie Listener Question: Stephanie: How do you deal with someone who you aren’t compatible with but can’t avoid them because you live with them and it seems like the only option right now? What’s a healthy way you would set boundaries without feeling like the bad guy? Know what is on your side of the road and their side of the road. What can you control within your environment and emotions? You cannot control how healthy another person is, but you can control how healthy you are.  Tune in to hear how Jennie walked through a similar situation + what she did within it.

What are some things in your day to day life that can pull you toward fear or worry? There are so many reasons or moments in throughout the day that can open the door to those emotions.   “Of course you feel that way” is comforting and validating to every emotion we experience, including fear and worry. We all experience fear and with the world around us, the things we see or read or experience, it is no wonder we feel fearful. But if God is with us (even in our fear), we can experience peace, right?  In your fear, there are few questions that can help shift you towards peace, like:   What is my perspective of God?  Do I see God disappointed in my fear or comforting me?  Where am I looking for peace?  When God tells us not to be afraid, it’s because He wants to remind us that we need Him and that He is there for us. He does not scold us in our fear; He comforts us with truth. In this conversation, Candace and Jennie talk about fear – moments in their lives when they walked through fear and worry, how media and social media attribute to our fear, and how fear shifts to peace when your perspective of God changes. Listen in + share what your big takeaway is on social media!
