    Equipped To Be with Connie Albers: Christian Parenting, Homeschooling, and Family Life

    Something is happening to families, and most parents feel it before they can name it.

    Today’s parents are raising children in a culture moving faster than any previous generation has faced. Artificial intelligence, devices, peer influence, and the relentless pace of modern life are shaping childhood in ways that leave even the most devoted parents feeling uncertain, outpaced, and afraid they’re getting it wrong. Most parenting advice tells you what to do. Equipped To Be helps you understand what’s actually happening to families and children in a rapidly changing culture so you can lead your children through it.

    Connie Albers is a family and cultural commentator, author, and keynote speaker with more than three decades of expertise in parenting, education & homeschooling, and family dynamics. A former Walt Disney World spokesperson and trusted media contributor, Connie brings cultural insight, hard-won wisdom, and a deep understanding of how families think and feel to every conversation. She has spent 35 years studying how children are uniquely designed and how parents can raise them to know exactly who they are and what they are equipped to be.

    Equipped To Be helps parents replace fear with clarity, uncertainty with confidence, and good intentions with the biblical wisdom to lead their families well; no matter what the culture brings next.

    Foundation of Relationship (PBTR Part 4) - 118 Jun 22, 2022
    Show notes

    My father-in-law is an architect. Years ago, when my kids were little, I was in his office looking at the artwork on the walls. It was a collection of buildings that he had designed. One, in particular, caught my eye. It was a building designed on the side of a mountain with metal posts going into the ground. As I talked to him about it, I learned about foundations and what it takes to know how to build in a situation like this. His answer: the soil. You have to know the soil. It's the same with your kids. To build a strong foundation of relationship with them you have to know their soil and how to best build on that soil.

    God created your child to be a masterpiece, as we've already discussed in this series. It's up to you to learn about the soil of each of their hearts to help build a strong foundation in them. You have to become an expert on your child. What gets them excited? What lifts them up? What drives them to tears? Each of your children is different so it's important to adjust your approach so you do not wound the sensitive one but also get through to the strong child.

    In this 4th episode in a series about Parenting Beyond the Rules, let's dive into what it takes to build trust with our kids. Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/foundation-of-relationship/

    When the Picture Gets Blurry (PBTR Part 3) - 117 Jun 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Did you get a parenting manual when your child was handed to you? Sometimes it feels like it would have been easier if we had been given a guide or some 3-step formula when they were born. Instead, you're searching the internet for quick tips and hacks to get you through the current parenting struggle. Sometimes the picture gets blurry... but God is not done with the story!

    Maybe you're currently looking at a picture of life and of your child that isn't quite what you thought it would look like back when they were little. Maybe your teen is rebellious. Maybe you have a child who is simply ignoring you. Maybe you've thrown up your hands and declared, "It is what it is!" That may be true, but only for this moment. God created that masterpiece in the making and He is not done yet!

    In this third episode in a series about Parenting Beyond the Rules, I'm talking about the top 5 parenting styles and how you can adjust to the needs of each of your children when the picture gets blurry.

    Your Child is a Masterpiece (PBTR Part 2) - 116 Jun 08, 2022
    Show notes

    The purpose when I started writing Parenting Beyond the Rules was to talk about the principles that we're trying to instill into our kids as we're raising them: Discipline, kindness, sharing, honesty, trustworthiness, etc. But, it is so easy to get confused and think that this parenting thing is all about the rules. If you break a rule, then here's the consequence. It is so much more than that!

    As I wrote the book and it went through the editing process, the message changed along the way. The cover of the book so perfectly illustrates what the book really turned out to be. The paint brushes and the strokes of paint show how it's really about how your children are each a masterpiece in the making. Your kids are not all the same. We're not making assembly line parts!

    Tune into this episode for tips for helping your child become the masterpiece they were created to be. Read the full show notes with links here:

    The Importance of Parenting Beyond the Rules (PBTR Part 1) - 115 Jun 01, 2022
    Show notes

    I've made mistakes in my parenting journey. Plenty of mistakes! I didn't do it all right and I don't have all of the answers. If I were to go back and start this process all over again, I would just make different mistakes because imperfect parents can't parent perfectly. And your kids are imperfect too. In this series of podcast episodes centered on the themes from my book Parenting Beyond the Rules, I want to help you see how you can parent beyond the rules.

    In this first episode, I share how Parenting Beyond the Rules came to be and the importance of parenting beyond the rules to help each of your children become the unique masterpiece God created them to be.

    Taste the Spice of the Gospel with Stephanie Rousselle - 111 May 04, 2022
    Show notes

    Translating between languages can be tricky. Sometimes one word just can't encompass all of the nuances of meaning or one words contains the concepts of two words from another language. When translated into French from English, delight is one of these complicated words. In the French language and culture, you can't separate the idea of delight from deliciousness. This means that God is both delightful and delicious! Stephanie Rousselle joins me in this episode to talk about how to taste the spice of the Gospel and so much more.

    About Stephanie Rousselle

    Stephanie Rousselle is the founder of Gospel Spice Ministries. Her motto is, "God's glory, our delight!" Born and raised in France, she has lived for her One over the last two decades on three continents, four countries, and five cities through six professional roles. She is a wife, mom, podcaster, public speaker, Bible teacher, former women's ministry director, and strategy consultant. And she is 100% French. Stephanie thrives on Bible-centered inspirational writing and speaking, and dark chocolate. She loves sharing nuances taken from the French and English languages and cultures to experience the New Testament from the inside out. She has quoted her favorite words more times than she can count, first to herself and her children, and then also in settings as diverse as Bible studies, conferences, podcasts, and more: "There is nothing you can do for God to love you more; and there is nothing you can do for God to love you less." Her favorite verse and passion is Philippians 3:10, "For my determined purpose is to know Christ, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship in His suffering."

    Show notes

    We tend to have relationships based on what was modeled for us as children. That's the first place we learn about relationships. As parents, we have the opportunity to change the negative patterns and teach our children about nurturing relationships and how to navigate the subtle nuances of relationships.

    In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with my friends Blythe Daniel and her mom, Dr. Helen McIntosh. We discuss:

    • How to deal with "mother wounds"
    • Making a deliberate decision to change patterns
    • Resolving distance in relationships
    • and much more!

    When Mountains Crumble: Navigating Grief with Danita Jenae - 109 Apr 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Navigating grief is not easy. I've endured several seasons of loss in the last few years, so I know this firsthand. My guest on this episode is sadly well-acquainted with grief but has turned her story into one that serves and encourages others as they navigate grief.

    Danita Jenae has learned to navigate grief by holding both joy and sorrow in the same breath as a military widow who was already familiar with trials. Shortly after making what was to be their final military move, which would lead into finishing out her husband Dan's final year of service before retiring, he passed unexpectedly while hiking in the mountains of Colorado. She says that her mountains crumbled that day, in more ways than one.

    Danita shares how she rebuilt in this new location, how she handled isolation when the pandemic started just months later, and so much more. Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/navigating-grief-with-danita-jenae/

    About Danita Jenae

    Danita Jenae is a young mom and recent military widow learning to carry both joy and sorrow in the same breath. As an author, speaker, poet, and artist, she walks alongside the broken-hearted, offering practical and creative ways to lead a Spirit-led life.
