The Power of Giving Back with Norah Birungi Nov 15, 2020

Show notes

Jesus' birthday is just around the corner. What if we were to ask Him what He wanted for His birthday? It's a powerful question we asked in our family that led us to the heartwarming story of Norah Birungi.
As families seeking to live on purpose, this episode is a story about the generational and transformative power of what happens when we give back to God what He gives to us. In this episode, Norah shares how the gifts of another family when she was a child helped her to become the wife, mom, and woman of God she is today. We also share how stories like Norah's inspired our family to give back this Christmas.

FAH in 5 Minutes: When We Need More Faith Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

We all lack faith in God in certain areas of our lives. In this episode, we differentiate faith from hope. We also challenge you to find the one area of your life where you need more faith. Instead of asking the question, "What if God doesn't show up?" what if we instead asked the question, "What if He does?" Here are some practical ways to build your faith when you need it most.

FAH in 5 Minutes: Ask Your Kids Good Questions Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

Getting our kids to name what they feel in distressing moments often comes by asking good questions. Contrary to our natural instinct, we don't need to fix our kids so they feel happy all of the time. The power is just sitting with them in their uncomfortable emotions and helping them label what happened.
Think of it as putting together a puzzle. What did they see, think, hear, smell, taste, or touch? We don't even need to ask them what they're feeling. Sometimes it's too difficult for them to label. But when we inquire about the facts and take the time to ask good questions, the emotions begin to make sense.

FAH in 5 Minutes: Don't Ignore Your Spouse Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

What happens when you feel like you're doing everything you can for your family, yet it feels like it's still not enough for your spouse? We talk about a defining moment in our marriage where we realized we were ignoring one another without realizing it. So often, marriage is about meta-communication, talking about how we communicate. Here's five minutes on helping your spouse feel "seen."

Discipline with Grace Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

We talk a lot about emotional safety when raising kids. But that doesn't mean we can let our kids behave any way they want to. Quite the contrary. A home without discipline is not a safe one.
However, discipline is also one of the greatest parenting struggles. In this episode, we talk about healthy discipline, why it's important for kids, and how it also influences mom and dad too. We also discuss how we, even with two different approaches to discipline, can work together as a team. In the end, it requires grace for your kids, and an extra dose for you as a parent.

FAH in 5 Minutes: Help Your Kids Accomplish Something Hard Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

One of our family mottos is, "Do hard things first." Oftentimes though, we get so distracted as parents that we don't take the time to sit with our kids to help them learn to do hard things. So, what happens? We do it for them. We get more exhausted and they, in turn, become less resourceful. In this episode, we talk about how to help your kids accomplish something difficult for long term gains both with your kids and your sanity!

FAH in 5 Minutes: Be Quick to Listen Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

There is not a more sanctifying set of verses in the Bible than James 1:19-20, "...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God's righteousness" (CSB). So what happens when we're slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to anger, especially with our spouse and kids? Today's 5 minutes is about how we can be quick to listen, but also how to make it right with our loved ones when we get it wrong. Because we will.
