A Return to Play - Makes Parenting Easier and Preps Our Kids for the Future (Podcast 469).mp3 Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

Not that long ago, time for unstructured play was naturally built into a child's daily rhythm. Today, it's something that we as parents have to fight for. As a mom to eight kids, I needed my kids to spend time playing each day, for their sake and for mine. Little did I know the incredible benefits that that simple daily ritual would yield. Today I'm chatting with Ginny Yurich from 1000 Hours Outside about the essential need our children have for play and the countless benefits both kids and parents experience from making this a priority!

Hope for Women Grieving Miscarriage or Stillbirth (Podcast 464) Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

Grieving the loss of your baby to stillbirth or miscarriage can be lonely and agonizing.

As most of you know, our family has experienced both: I’ve had 5 miscarriages, 2 of our daughters and one daughter-in-law have had miscarriages and our first grandson was stillborn, so we are no strangers to the overwhelming sorrow, loneliness, and fears that come with this kind of loss.

Today I am praying that this episode can bring hope to those who have experienced this or know someone who has as Jackie Gibson tells her story and the biblical truths that she gleaned from her journey through the deep loss of her daughter, Leila.
