Practical Tips for Helping Moms and Kids with Anxiety (Podcast 512) Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

One of the topics that moms often ask me about is how to handle anxiety, children with anxiety, or both. I’ve seen anxiety on the rise in our culture and although I would hope that homeschooling would lessen the risks of that in our children, there are still many variables in the equation of our complicated lives that could contribute to feeling anxious. It’s important to get to the root of the anxiety, but if our bodies have experienced anxiety frequently enough, it can become chronic. Today I am sharing some tools that can help train our bodies to calm down so we can then work toward getting to the root of the problem.

How to Heal From Church Hurt (Podcast 510) Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

I don’t think I know anyone who has been a believer for any length of time who hasn’t experienced a wound in their church life and experience. Some of these wounds are what I would call merely flesh wounds, but some are incredibly deep and can cause lasting damage.

I’ve heard from countless moms who have experienced this, including friends, and my own family.

It's easy to become bitter and cynical when it seems like we are the only army that wounds its own soldiers. However, I don’t think that is the whole story because that is not the God we serve and I can’t imagine that He would want us to stop at the point of our pain. But how do we heal? How do we trust again?

Today Wes joins me again, this time to talk about healing from church hurt.
