Cultivating an Environment of Spiritual Growth Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

Life moves quickly. Such that the blistering pace can prevent us from being truly present with our family, with God, with ourselves. The pace can feel unrelenting. Even as soon as our family lands on a summer rhythm, summer comes to an end and it's time for kids to go back to school. The beauty though is that growth happens in seasons. In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about how to evaluate your rhythms in your current season to serve your circumstances well.
They also talk about:
* The power of taking deep breaths and honing in on God's presence in the midst of busyness* The effects our stress, and how we manage it, has on our kids* How our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being are interconnected

Helping Kids Understand the Stories of God with Amy Parker and Mike Nawrocki Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

If you have kids and you've tried reading the Bible to them, you might know where this is going. Getting our kids to not just read the Bible, but to actually enjoy God's story and message is not easy. Trying to instill the message of a Bible story in their hearts whilst tucking them into bed can reap the exact opposite outcome of our intentions. Overtired kids + frustrated parent = not what we intended.
Let this episode encourage you: you are not alone. In this episode, Josh and Christi talk with best-selling authors Amy Parker and Mike Nawrocki about their new Bible storybook, The Bible for Me: Bible Stories & Prayers. The four of them talk about how to make God's story relevant to your child's life and ways they've implemented daily prayers and Bible reading into their family rhythms.

Show notes

This episode has not only inspired our family, but it’s put us into action more than we could have ever imagined! We are simplifying our lives and it feels so good. We feel more settled, free, and focused. But why is it that it took donating and getting rid of “stuff” to do that?
In this episode, Josh and Christi have an inspiring conversation with Joshua Becker, author and minimalist, about his new book Things That Matter. They talk about Joshua’s story and why it is that the more possessions we hold onto, the more we become distracted from what actually matters.
