Birth Story Part 2: Practical Tips for the Dads May 15, 2020

Show notes

On Wednesday we heard from my daughter and her husband as they shared their birth story and the challenges that came with it. Today we’re finishing the “living room” conversation about the birth of their baby girl, and Ryan has practical tips for the dads from his own experience—even the third time around. This is a raw, real look inside our tight-knit family… and I think it will bless and encourage you.
Family and a caring community is so important during pregnancy and the postpartum. I’ll be honest: you guys, the first week of Junie’s birth was hard. We all know the weeks around having a baby are expected to be challenging, but adding the stress of this COVID situation is certainly not helping things. Savannah struggled with severe postpartum anxiety—and the Lord helped us through in some pretty amazing ways.
Many of us know someone who’s pregnant right now (you might even be pregnant yourself!) and I think you’ll be encouraged to hear Savannah and Ryan share their story—unfiltered—about what they learned and what they did that helped.

Show notes

You guys have sent some challenging questions today for Mailbox Monday! Is there an age of accountability? | Is this situation really constitutional? | I’m a high school senior.

What Can We DO While We Are Feeling Stuck? with Kathy Koch May 08, 2020

Show notes

| 921It’s easy to feel out of sorts these days, and our children are bearing the same stress we are, they are just perceiving and handling it differently. My good friend Dr Kathy Koch is sharing an exercise we can do to help our kids articulate what they are feeling and help them see that they are in control of something in their lives. Personally, I think it would be good for the whole family, and I took my own notes this time!

God’s Desire for Our Hearts in the Midst of Uncertainty May 06, 2020

Show notes

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m struggling in this. God’s desire is that our hearts would be refreshed and encouraged right now, even though on some days that seems impossible. We know that God is a god of provision. He is Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider. He is Jehovah Rapha, Our Healer. El Roi, The God Who Sees. We serve an amazing god and He has not changed during COVID 19. Join me today, and let’s be reminded where we need to set our eyes. Faithful Counseling

Hey, everybody. How are you doing? How are you guys doing? This is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the podcast. Today is Wednesday, May 6th. This is episode number 920. And today we’re going to get a little bit real about what’s going on around you and what it means to invite the Lord into every aspect of our lives. Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
So, I hope you guys are doing good. I feel like the weeks are going by kind of slow right now, like we’re just sort of hanging on for dear life and trying to just follow the Lord in the moment, and follow Him. I know you guys are doing the same thing. This has been a rough season for us for obvious reasons, a rough season for lots of you, and I am particularly grateful for the sponsoring businesses here at the podcast which really are kind of our bread and butter right now.
