Homeschooling - What About Socialization (Podcast 216) Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

In our 25+ years of homeschooling, the question about socialization is the most commonly asked one.

Today I'm sharing why I don't actually think it's a very legitimate question and certainly not something that most homeschoolers should be fretting about!

Homeschooling - Parents Matter! (Podcast 215) May 30, 2021

Show notes

The role of parents is marginalized in our culture. This downplay of our very influential and crucial role in our kids' lives by society directly oppose God’s plan for the family. As parents, you have the privilege and the responsibility to make all decisions concerning your children, including their education. For the first time, I am reading a small portion of my new book, The Four Hour School Day! Please share this podcast with your friends and anyone you know who may be considering homeschooling!

Mentoring Moments - Sibling Conflict (Podcast 214) May 27, 2021

Show notes

When we decided to homeschool, I don't think most of us realized how much time we would spend dealing with kids who are bickering and fighting. It can be easy to lose hope and feel like we are failing.

Today I want to talk about what's really happening in terms of opportunity when it comes to sibling relationships! Not only is there hope, but there are also some major benefits in taking the time to deal with sibling conflict!

Listen in to get some hindsight perspective from someone who's been there and is now on the other side!

(I misquoted the scripture-it was 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18, 1 Corinthians :) )

Mentoring Moments - Your Husband Your Covering (Podcast 213) May 23, 2021

Show notes

It can be easy to bristle at the thought of our husbands being our covering, or even that we need one.

Our husbands have a God-ordained role in our lives and it’s a beautiful thing! We can save ourselves so much grief by dialing in on biblical roles graciously given by God for our good! durendawilson.com

Unhurried Grace: Finding Hope in the Midst of Uncertainty Pt. 3 (Podcast 212) May 20, 2021

Show notes

I have said this over and over again: it's crucial to know that God is sovereign, but if we don't believe He is good as well, we're sunk. If we believe He is powerful but not good, we have no hope.

So the enemy works overtime trying to convince us that God is not good. He knows the power of fully trusting in the power of God AND the goodness of God.

Listen in as we zero in on the hope we have in the fact that God is both sovereign and good!

Mentoring Moments: Living Out Our Calling as Wives (Podcast 211) May 16, 2021

Show notes

The enemy loves nothing more than to distract us from God's calling on our lives because he knows how powerful a woman of God can be. She poses a very real and present threat to the kingdom of darkness.

I've recently had a refresher on the joy of my calling as a wife. After 31 years, I can honestly say that the blessings of walking in biblical principles have far outweighed the hard work.

Listen in to find encouragement for your marriage!

Unhurried Grace: Finding Hope in the Midst of Uncertainty Pt. 2 (Podcast 210) May 13, 2021

Show notes

To say that we live in uncertain times feels like a massive understatement. What we are wanting, even more than that...what we are NEEDING... is hope. Not false hope. Not hope based on lies, but REAL hope. Hope that is eternal and unchanging, a place to firmly plant our feet in the midst of uncertainty. Today we are going to visit Jeremiah who, in the midst of uncertainty and hopelessness poured his heart out to God. It's here that we have a point of entry into the suffering of God's people, Israel, that helps us face the darkest aspects of our own human experience and find hope. durendawilson.com

Mentoring Moments: Let's Do This Together (Podcast 209) May 09, 2021

Show notes

I've learned much in my 31 years of marriage and 30 years of parenting. I've transitioned into a new season and so many of the same questions I had when I started my journey as a wife and mom are needing to be asked again:

What does it look like to be a godly wife in this season?

What does it look like to be a godly mom in this season?

How do I prioritize my days?

As I revisit these, I am reminded of God's unchanging heart for us as wives and moms! Listen in to this 20-minute podcast of encouragement as we walk this journey together!

Unhurried Grace: Finding Hope in the Midst of Uncertainty Pt. 1 (Podcast 208) May 06, 2021

Show notes

To say that we live in uncertain times feels like a massive understatement. What we are wanting, even more than that...what we are needing... is hope. Not false hope. Not hope based on lies, but real hope, hope that is eternal and unchanging, a place to firmly plant our feet in the midst of uncertainty.

Join me for this 15-minute episode as I share the hope we can find in the midst of uncertainty!

Mentoring Moments: What in the World is God Doing? (Podcast 207) May 02, 2021

Show notes

I'm changing things up here on the podcast. I'm making the episodes shorter in length and digging deeply into God's calling on our lives as wives and moms because I think that in the midst of these challenging times, we need to be reminded of what our main focus should be.

Faith is acting on the revealed will and character of God.

What might He be doing and how should we respond?

Listen in to this 25-minute podcast as I share my heart as a mentoring mom.
