MIni Episode 12 | Teaching Our Kids To Love Others By Gathering Around The Kitchen Table Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

You’ve heard the old saying, “More is caught than taught?” Well, this rings even truer as our children observe who we spend time with, who we shy away from, who we shake hands with, or who pretend we don’t see. If we want our children to learn to love God and love others, we can start by practicing hospitality.

The Gift Of Hospitality:

1:32 What is hospitality?
2:27 The grander purpose of hospitality
2:48 The power of imperfection

Resources And Quotes Mentioned During This Episode:

Talking To Your Kids About Racism and Empathy
In a world that is hurting and longing for hope, we can be the ones that share the good news of the gospel—that they are seen, heard, loved, made in the image of God, and redeemed. We can show them grace. @imbetweenshow
How To Raise Kids That Change The World
If we really believe in the power of imperfections, that they put people at ease and allow us to truly to connect, then we won’t have to erase all signs of imperfection and real life before we invite people over. We’ll realize that sharing some of our everyday imperfection is an essential part of connection with people. We don’t have to finish every project, redecorate every room, overthink or over spend. People remember being loved, welcomed, invited, and thought of. @thenester

Mini Episode 11 | When You Are Feeling Overwhelmed, Remember This Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

There are many times we have found ourselves feeling stressed, unsure, scared, anxious, and completely overwhelmed with the brokenness of our world. That is when we stop, open our Bibles and continue to remind ourselves about the promises of God. The promises written in His word about how He will never leave us or forsake us, promises that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His word is a balm to our hearts, minds, and souls. It is the cure to our overwhelm.

On today’s mini episode, we want to read 7 bible passages to you and over you. So, next time you are feeling “all the feels” and you just don’t know what to do, listen to this episode and remind yourselves of the truth that never fades, never changes, and never fails.
