Episode 145: Preparing Our Black And White Thinkers For A Complex World Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

A Home That Heals friend Adelle sent us a question that both encouraged and challenged us! She asks how to prepare our kids for the difficult encounters they face when their well meaning, but sometimes blunt communication, leads to rejection. We tackle her dilemma and search for insight from the Bible in today’s A Home That Heals podcast.

Show notes

None of us want to put a label on our kids, but when they have special needs, we want people to understand them. Especially people in caregiving roles, like their coach or Sunday school teacher. We're talking about that fine line today on A Home That Heals.

Episode 143: My Child's Identity Isn't In An Acronym Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

What forms our child’s identity? How do we help walk alongside them and teach them who they truly are rather than allowing the definition of who they are be tied to a diagnosis, acronym or how others see them. Another important question is where we find our identity and how are we modeling for our children who and what defines us.

Episode 142: 40 Hours A Week Worrying? Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Something we read recently hit us like a 2x4 …. It was a “news” story -here’s the headline Parents Spend Nearly 40 Hours a Week Worrying About Their Children. Wow! That's a full time job, but probably pretty accurate considering Dee was a news anchor for 40 years and read plenty of stories that planted seeds of worry. Is there a better way we can spend those 40 hours a week? How do we do that in the age we live in right now? Those are just a few of the questions we grapple with on today's podcast. Join us as we seek a better answer to provide a home filled with more joy and less worry.

Episode 141: Powerful Stories To Infuse Your Home With Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

Many stories depict parents as incapable, siblings as an obnoxious person to tolerate and life as unfair. That’s not the message we want to send our kids. We want them to hear stories of bravery in the face of adversity, peace in the midst of chaos, parents as the strong support God has placed in children’s lives, and siblings as a blessing. We love the power of story and have seen how it can create a healing home for our families. Our encouragement to you is to use the power of story to help make your family a team rather than another battleground.
“Stories constitute the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.”
― Dr. Howard Gardner

Episode 139: Discouraged? Defeated? Don't Fall For This Big Lie! Sep 12, 2022

Yet, this age old lie is one we kept believing and frankly said often, until we realized there was no truth grounded in it! Join us today as we make a case why it is NOT true that you’re taking three steps forward and two steps back. Progress is always being made toward a home that heals, whether you see it or not.
