BE KIND, REWIND, & UNPLUG Parenting in the Moment Today we will talk about some hard things, some BIG problems, but most importantly, some BEAUTIFUL solutions. My desire for you as parents is to walk out of this space feeling encouraged and equipped to tackle some of these problems. We will focus on problems relating to the technology generation and the way in which we can do our part to steer the direction of our next generation. We will explore technology as a useful tool, a constant distraction, and also something that can be harmful to our health. Computers, Phones, + Tablets can be useful! They can connect & keep us together They can be tools for learning and sharing ideas They can help us explore new information They can save some time and increase productivity when used appropriately. They can give direction when we are lost They can rescue us. They can call for help! Computers, Phones, + Tablets can be distracting! Distracting in school and at work Notification can overwhelm our thoughts and prevent productivity We can get greatly sidetracked. They can cost us time and decrease productivity when used inappropriately. We can become overly reliant on them. They can pull us away from real life. They can distract us when driving or doing a task that requires our attention. Computers, Phones, + Tablets can be harmful! The harsh screen light can harm our eyes. Games and social media scrolling can become addictive. We can get stuck sitting indoors and become less active. We can accidentally see harmful or inappropriate images. We can become addicted to the dopamine. We can harm our in person relationships. We can experience cyber bullying or worse. Then we explore the wonderful solutions and preventatives to the big problems! Getting outside can: Increase activity levels Expand creative play Help us explore new things and understand the way our world and nature operates. Fresh air and light can reduce cortisol levels. Reduces muscle tensions Reduce stress and anxiety improve our mood give active children time to exert energy Getting outside first thing in the morning: We are diurnal species We are made to experience activity in the daylight and rest during the night/darkness. Exposing our retinas to early light for even 20 minutes first thing in the morning is super beneficial to our hormone levels. Morning light actually increases the production of cortisol which ignites your energy for the day. Doing so then helps promote the production of melatonin come night time for sleep! Setting healthy screen time limits: by setting time frames you can go on screens Reduce notifications Create a ‘home station’ for your phone/tablet Offer other activities first Close out tabs and apps when not using Set alarms or time limits on devices Let your device lose battery power Leave phones inside when you go outdoors Activate ‘Do Not Disturb’ during family time No phones at dinner rule! Parenting in the moment: Have engaging conversations 1 on 1 Set your phone down and look in their eyes! Plan activities with family and stick to them!

This episode we talk all about rest and why it is so necessary to find time to rest. The creator of the universe found time to rest, Jesus rested, so while in the world do we think we are so incapable of slowing down for a minute. We are merely humans and as busy and tired parents, this episode will encourage you to prioritize time each day or week to be one on one with the Lord and allow Him to give us rest! The Lord gives us so many scriptures relating to this very topic! The Bible mentions the word ‘rest’ 257 times! God clearly knows the weariness of this earthly life. He knows our burdens become heavy. Matthew 11:28-30 ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’ God is a god of rest and not of striving and works. He would so much rather we rest in His presence than work on our own. We are called to communion with Him! At the end of the episode, I encourage you to sit and rest with the Lord and listen to music with Him. Current favorite playlists! FREE SPIRIT - APPLE PLAYLIST CHRISTIAN FOLK - APPLE PLAYLIST…

Moving Mountains, Prayer, Doubts, & Why the Sunday School answer is THE Answer! 37:50

منذ 1 year37:50

37:50

It is NORMAL to have doubts. The disciples were literally walking, eating, and traveling with Jesus, and they all went through seasons of doubts! It’s our response to these thoughts and feelings that matter the most! MARK 11:20-26 20Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”22So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Forgiveness & Prayers 25“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Why the Sunday school answer is THE ANSWER! The Sunday school answer is: READ YOUR BIBLE, GO TO CHURCH, AND PRAY. OR THE LITTLEST KID JUST YELLS OUT JESUS! The single reason that the Sunday school answer remains the Sunday school answer is because it is TRUTH. We have let it feel watered down and too simple to actually have meaning, but the reality is that reading your Bible spells out the truth, and if we know the truth, then we will be more likely to rebuke the lies. What does the Bible say about PRAYER? Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Matthew 26:41 - Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Colossians 4:2 - Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. Romans 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Matthew 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. James 5:16 - Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you Mark 11:24 - Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

In this intro episode of Season 2, we lay the foundation for what is to come while walking through the Old Testament and its wisdom for a minute. We study briefly through Joel and talk through our generation being a bit different than when we were being raised. We discuss why it is so important to pass the story down to our children and our children's children! (Joel 1) Without spreading fear, we explore how the world is different today and what we have to do moving forward in raising our kids during such a time as this! Joel 3:16 tells us the sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, The heavens and earth will shake, but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Then we take a sneak peak at episodes coming up like my amazing interview with Trent Talbot as well as with Lucas Miles.
