Navigating School From Home Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

Pretty much everyone is now schooling from home at some level. Not only that, work has also returned home. This makes for a lovely recipe of childcare issues, conflicting schedules, and marital bliss. Okay, so the latter is a bit of an exaggeration. But what if we really could get on the same team?
In this episode, we talk about what we're learning and the adjustments we needed to make because of the new school-from-home routine. Surprise, surprise, it begins with the marriage. We share about a very real moment we had last week that blindsided us but got us back on the same team in a new way.
We also go in-depth about our current daily schedule and what's working. Hopefully, it'll give you some insight on how you can school from home in a more harmonious way.

What God Might Be Up To and What It Means for Your Family Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

We cannot pretend that life is going to get back to normal. It's not. And we believe that's a good thing, especially for families. In this episode, we talk about what we believe God is up to in this moment of history. There is an apocalypse, or a revealing, taking place in our society. How do you discern what that means for your family? That's what this episode is all about.
We discuss a number of topics relevant to your family right now:
* How to listen to God in this hour and what He has for your family.* Our decision to lay everything on the table and decide what needs to go and what needs to stay.* Why we decided to homeschool this year and what that looks like.* How to grieve and say goodbye well to an old season so we can properly say hello to a new one.* What it means to "unschool" ourselves in regard to being famous at home.

Carlos Whittaker tells stories in books, on stage, and on Instagram. In this episode, he tells stories about race, trauma, and talks about his new book Enter Wild. Carlos' voice in these trying times is one we all need to listen to.
In this episode, Carlos covers some amazing ground on how we as families can specifically hear from God.

Here are some highlights:
* Carlos talks about why we're afraid to ask God for specific requests. * How we can teach our kids to pray to God for specific prayers. * What the Lord is really committed to as it relates to you and your family. * What it costs to step out of a mild and mundane faith* What the real goal of being a parent is and how to achieve it.

School, Coronavirus, and Family Decisions Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

The upcoming school year is fast upon us and unlike any we've encountered. As parents, it can feel unsettling with all of the unknowns. You might be working from home. You may be going into work. Either way, keeping the kids at home this school year or having them learn online adds further burden. Not only is fear of the unknown an issue, so is our depleting frustration tolerance.
In this episode, we reveal the decision we made about this school year and invite you on the journey to use the podcast as an ongoing discussion as we all journey through these uncharted waters as families this fall. No matter the decision you make for your family, we can all lead well for our kids and inside of our homes.
