Change and Rest

Parents want to take away pain. We don't want our kids to suffer. But when our children make remarks out of frustration or fear, should we rescue them? Today we share how to shift our response from erasing pain or providing instant reassurance to stepping through questions that lead us to think with biblical and eternal perspective with our kids so they can do the same.

In a world where society promotes self-interests above all else and encourages doing "what feels good" and "living  your own truth," it's imperative that children have intimate knowledge of God's Word. They must be able to center His wisdom on the foundation in which they measure and assess cultural messaging, personal feelings, or emotions. In order to raise kids who think critically and biblically, parents must possess this ability. We must live with a biblical worldview for children to witness and be taught with intention moment by moment.

Whether you loved or hated Charlie Kirk, he carried one crucial ability every Christian child must possess. The ability to think critically and biblically. Today we discuss several ways parents must raise kids in order to equip them to live in the world, but not be controlled by it.

Emotional demands of motherhood can drain the strongest of women. It's not only the responsibilities we face; it's the fact that we continue to take more on while in the midst of wondering how we're going to get what we're already committed to accomplished. That's when anger, resentment, sadness, or depression can overtake joy we thought we'd experience, even when all we ever wanted to do was be a mother. If you're feeling unappreciated or unseen, and daily responsibilities turned joy you thought you'd carry into overwhelm you can't escape, this episode is for you.
