    Communicating With Our People – Part 2 Dec 09, 2020
    Show notes

    TMV: Episode 12 – Communicating With Our People Part 2

    In this episode, we pick up where we left off in part one of the discussion about communicating with our people. As we know, aside from our relationship with Christ, the one we have with our husbands is the center of our world, and it requires the most energy. However, sometimes life gets stressful and things get hard, so what can we do to always see the best in our leading men? Jismarie talks about the importance of actively looking for the good in all your husband does, remembering everything he does is ultimately for your family. Another vital part of your marriage is sex, and we discuss how to make time for it even when it seems like you don’t have enough hours in the day as it is. Kirra shares how scheduling sex – as unromantic as it sounds – goes a long way in keeping this beautiful connection between man and woman alive. Your husbands must know how special they are to you, and because men are physical beings, they need this type of affirmation. We then shift our focus to talking about another foundational relationship: The one you have with your mother-in-law. While this can sometimes be a sticky relationship, remember that without her, your husband would not have chosen you. So, even in difficult times, if you focus on this, you will always be able to treat your mother-in-law with compassion and grace. We wrap up by talking about some ways to nurture this relationship and how to communicate difficulties.

    Key Points:

    • Recapping part one of this conversation; some of the major takeaways.
    • Ways we can try to always see the best in our husbands, in all circumstances.
    • The power of verbal affirmation and vocalizing your gratitude for your husband.
    • When we move towards a grateful mindset, we will always see the good in our husbands.
    • It is important for your children to see that their parents love one another.
    • Making time for sex in the midst of all that it takes to run a home.
    • When we prioritize sex, we let our husbands know they are important to us.
    • What Kristin found when she did a Google search about problems women have with their mothers-in-law.
    • The fantastic relationship Kristin has with her mother-in-law and what she’s learned from her.
    • Remember, your mother-in-law is the reason that your husband chose you!
    • How becoming a mother gave Kirra a different understanding of mothers-in-law.
    • Why being a mother to a son is like being broken up with slowly over many years.
    • Some of the ways we can make our relationships with our mothers-in-law better.
    • What happens in your marriage should stay between you and your husband.
    • Practical ways Kristin has kept the peace with Jimmy’s family.
    • Let your husband talk to his mother if there is something you have a problem with.

    TMV: Episode 11 – Communicating With Our People Part 1

    Aside from our relationship with God, the sacred union we share with our husbands is the most important one of all. Like any relationship, it takes work to nurture and grow the bond that will stay with you through all the seasons of your life. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to communicate with your husband effectively. We kick off the show with Kirra, Jismarie, and Kristin, all sharing what they love most about their men. As we know, men and women communicate differently, so everyone asked their husbands to share what they wish their wives knew. These insights include why it’s necessary to cut out any preamble when telling a story, being upfront about your needs as a woman, and understanding how your husband might be hurting. We also touch on the toughest aspects of effective communication, where everyone shares what they are working on in their respective marriages. No matter what period of life you are in, it is so important to carve out time for intentional communication with your husband and make sure he knows just how much you adore him.

    Key Points:

    • Hear about some of Kirra’s favorite things about her husband, Eric.
    • Jismarie’s favorite thing about her husband!
    • What drew Kristin to her husband, Jimmy, and what she’s grown to appreciate about him.
    • Things men wished their wives knew as told by Jismarie, Kristin, and Kirra’s husbands.
    • Men and women communicate differently, so understand how your husband processes information.
    • As women, we often forget or do not realize, how much our husbands suffer.
    • At the root of it, most husbands want their wives to be happy above all else.
    • The most difficult aspects of effectively communicating with our husbands.
    • Why it is so important to make time for intentional communication with your husband.
    • Men aren’t as intuitive as women; tell your husbands what you want otherwise they won’t know!
    • What Kirra is working on when it comes to effectively communicating with her husband.
    • How Jismarie and her husband have learned to balance their different communication styles.
    • It is important for our children to know that we adore or husbands.
    • Final tips on how we can make communication with our husbands the best it can be.
    • It is not our husband’s job to fulfill all of our needs; that’s God’s job.

    Fostering and Adoption – Part 2 Nov 11, 2020
    Show notes

    TMV: Episode 10 – Fostering and Adoption – Part 2

    The journey of foster care comes with many ups and downs, from taking a child in last-minute to comforting them through the most difficult emotional moments and having to say goodbye, possibly never to see them again. Today we speak with Krystal Gutierrez, a woman who has taken the plunge to start a fostering and adoption ministry, and she joins us to talk about how it all happened. After years of infertility struggles, Krystal started thinking about fostering as God placed it in her heart to care for children who were not her own, but when she initially approached her husband with the idea, he said no. She knew, though, that God would work in Leo’s heart and mind if that was the road he had planned for their family – and that’s exactly what happened. Two months later, he came to tell her that they simply had to be foster parents, so they got on board with an agency, received all the necessary training and counseling, and received their first placement within a few months. Krystal shares what is was like getting their foster care license and first placement on the same day, what they have learned four years into the process, why it is important to educate friends and family on how to thoughtfully engage these kids, and what their biggest challenges and joys have been. Listeners will also learn what to expect in terms of the support coming from the agency side and the role that a person’s church community can play in making the rollercoaster ride much easier. Also, stay tuned to hear the beautiful story of how Evan Gutierrez became Krystal and Leo’s son!

    Key Points:

    • Krystal shares the stories of how she and Leo met and how they decided to start fostering.
    • How God began working in Leo’s heart and changed his initial ‘no’ to a ‘yes’.
    • A testimony about the power of prayer and trusting that the Holy Spirit will do the work.
    • The processes the couple had to go through before they could get started on the journey.
    • Hear about them getting their first placement on the same day their license was approved!
    • The tremendous amount they have learned having fostered 13 kids in four years.
    • Krystal shares the three biggest challenges she and Leo have had in the fostering journey.
    • The unexpected challenge of trying to manage how other people respond to the children.
    • The importance of educating friends and family on how to best engage with foster kids.
    • How Krystal deals with and manages to comfort the kids in the most difficult moments.
    • The many joys that come with foster care, including the opportunity to share about Jesus.
    • The surprising number of people involved in and supporting foster care families.
    • Krystal talks about how their church family has rallied around her and Leo in this process.
    • Get to know a bit about Evan Gutierrez – the little boy they adopted out of foster care.

    TMV: Episode 9 – Fostering and Adoption – Part 1

    Adoption and fostering are not about choosing to expand your family but rather responding to God’s call to provide a loving home for someone who needs it. With this in mind, a family’s perspective on the process of adoption and fostering changes as you switch from a self-centered mindset to one that says “Yes, Lord”, despite the many fears and uncertainties that come with the territory. In this episode, hosts Kira, Kristin, and Jismarie are joined by Lynnette Ezell, mom of six and wife to Kevin Ezell, the president of the North American Mission Board. In addition to serving in ministry for the past 35 years, Lynette and Kevin have raised a beautiful family consisting of three biological and three adopted children, not only cultivating a passion for fostering and adoption in their family but also in their church and community. Lynette opens up about the loss and pain of miscarriage and how, even after they had their biological kids, God started speaking to them about parenting in a different way. She shares with listeners what it was like adopting their first baby, how the family prayed and prepared together, and how it affected the values and norms of their congregation. As listeners will hear, Lynette and Kevin, too, were first inspired by another family who started adopting and made the conscious decision to provide a home for children who had come from brokenness, thereby demonstrating and giving expression to the father heart of God. Join us for this episode as Lynette gives us some insight into how all of us can get involved and support families on this journey!

    Key Points:

    • Hear about Lynette and Kevin’s time in ministry and their hearts for pastoring people.
    • Lynette talks about the trauma and loss associated with recurring miscarriage.
    • Starting the journey of adoption and building their family after having three biological children.
    • Hearing God calling her to mother in a different way and how they prepared as a family.
    • How her three kids responded when they adopted their first baby, a one-year-old Chinese girl.
    • The need for us believers to sometimes take the plunge and do things despite the fear.
    • Get a sense of the challenges Lynette and Kevin faced as a big family and growing church.
    • The mindset that God chooses you as a family to love and be a family for someone else.
    • Learn what happened in their church as a result of their faithfulness to God’s calling.
    • The role that seeing adoption modeled played in their own and others’ decisions to adopt.
    • The value of having a church community who supports you in your adoption journey.
    • Raising their kids to understand that the Gospel requires us to leave our comfort zones.
    • How their daughters embraced the family’s passion for fostering and adoption in their lives.
    • What to expect once you open yourself up to a “Yes, Lord” attitude toward life.
    • Lynette talks about having to let go and let God do with her children’s lives what he wills.
    • The importance of prayer, getting the whole family on board, and taking that first step.
    • Why everyone is called to be involved and suggestions for how you can support families.
    • Learn about The Adopting & Fostering Home podcast – an invaluable resource on the topic.

    Family Legacies Oct 21, 2020
    Show notes

    TMV: Episode 8 – Family Legacies

    In our last episode, we talked about traditions. Today, we’re talking about family legacies. While there are certainly similarities, a legacy is about the stories that you leave behind. It’s the imprint you leave on people’s hearts. As moms, it’s vital to think about how we create legacies with our children and how our actions enable them to grow, flourish, and ultimately become closer to God. We hear about what legacy means to everyone, including the role Kirra’s grandmother played in her life. Building a legacy is not easy. As a mom with so much on your plate, it may seem like one more thing to add. We encourage you, no matter how tough, to keep going. It’s worth laying the foundation now so that your children and grandchildren will love and serve God.

    Key Points:

    • Understanding the difference between tradition and legacy.
    • Learning about the role Kirra’s grandmother played in her life and the legacy she left her with.
    • The small ways that you are leaving a legacy with your children (that you may not even realize).
    • Jismarie knows the power of words, having grown up in an abusive household.
    • Being intentional; the quality and quantity of time we spend with our children matters.
    • You are building a legacy that you might not see right now, but it is important.
    • The legacy of celebration Kirra’s grandma passed on to her.
    • Legacies are only valuable if they are connected to a person that means something to us.
    • An important legacy to Kristin that comes from Jimmy’s family.
    • Why grandchildren—rather than your children—are the true test of legacy.
    • The mistake that Kristin made not doing her quiet time in front of her children.
    • The hard work that it takes to build an enduring legacy.
    • An experience Jismarie had recently when she admitted she was wrong to her toddler.
    • Celebrating Christmas and what Kirra, Kristin and Jismarie do at their respective homes.
    • Why Jismarie misses Puerto Rico during Christmas time and traditions from there.
    • Kristin’s family’s involvement with Operation Christmas Child and how they save for it annually.
    • Teaching children about the importance of giving.

    TMV: Episode 7 – Family Traditions

    All families have a set of beliefs or values that are passed down, from generation to generation, through the messages that children receive from their parents. Often, we associate traditions with special events like holidays, birthdays, or vacations, but every family has simple traditions that create lasting memories and feelings of belonging. These are just as important as the big occasions! In this episode, we discuss family traditions, from a daily commitment, to having dinner together as a family, to sharing our faith and God’s love as a legacy. We discuss how these traditions give families an identity and foster a strong sense of belonging, why supporting our family members in their activities is important, and how different cultures celebrate holidays. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or cost a lot of money – traditions are just repetition over time, and you can start creating family traditions right now. Tune in to find out more!

    Key Points:

    • Recapping some of the best bits of the last episode.
    • Kirra shares how her family celebrates occasions – big and small.

    • One of Kristin’s family rules has become a tradition – they support each other’s activities.

    • Kirra read the Bible with her family daily, which is a visible manifestation of showing faith.

On the topic of habits, we also talk about eating and how to handle picky eaters. It’s important to be firm, without forcing your child to eat, and not pander to their pickiness. Mealtimes are great opportunities for coming together as a family, so take the opportunity to assign everyone a role and a set of chores during sit down meals. Along with this, we also get into our top dos and don’ts, which include limiting electronic devices and not babying your toddler, how to help your child develop emotional intelligence and the power of letting children be bored. Sydney rounds off the discussion by giving us some great tips on how to find the best pediatrician for your family’s needs. Be sure to tune in today!
