Simple Tips to Help with Anxiety (Podcast 360) Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Like most moms, I've had countless battles with anxiety over the years, at times it's been debilitating. There are a few simple practices that I keep going back to over and over again. It can be easy to dismiss them because they are so simple, but I have found that consistency is key.

Do I believe feeling anxious is a sin? No. I believe anxiety is a weakness(part of being human) that can lead us into sin if left unchecked and unyielded to the Lord. Today I'm humbly sharing what I've learned over the last 55 years and praying that God will give you wisdom as you listen

Today we will discuss simple apologetics for 4-8 yrs olds. You may be wondering what that would even look like.

Isn’t apologetics just for those studying at seminary as an adult?

Apologetics is the study and practice of giving answers for the truth of the Christian faith and what better time to start than at a very young age through the simplest conversations and activities!

Exploring Nature Truths with our Kids (Podcast 356) Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

When I first recorded this episode with Sherri, it was the beginning of summer, and her new devotional was supposed to be published soon. It was delayed and is finally available, but any time of year is a great time to learn more about who God is through creation in a simple, unhurried way!

Today, Sherri Seligson, an avid fan and student of creation and science is joining us. She has many credits to her name, but none is more important than being a mom/homeschool mom.

Today we talk about how to engage our kids by exploring nature truths with them!

(The audio to the second episode crashed and burned so even though it's mentioned, it never made it to publishing) :(

Let’s Talk About Halloween (Podcast 355) Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

Halloween isn't my favorite, but it is right around the corner and is sort of thrust upon us by the culture, so I think it's worth having a conversation about and sharing our family's experience with it.

There are many controversies in the Church surrounding Halloween. I've seen people handle their differences graciously and I've seen others let them destroy relationships.

Every family chooses its own way of approaching Halloween. Some choose a personally long-held tradition, some choose a hodgepodge of traditions along with making adjustments to wherever they are in their season of life, adding in new traditions, or doing something completely new!
