Stories are powerful!  Good stories help us recognize and love those things which are good, true, and beautiful. By harnessing the power of stories we can teach our children truth, inspire them to become men and women of character, and help them grow in wisdom...all from a simple story.  Stories can help us reach our children's hearts for God.  Text Audrey a message!

Discipline and correction are two of the hardest parts of being a parent. As a new mom, I really struggled in this area.  Honest confession…disciplining and correcting my boys was so difficult for me that I wanted to avoid it at all costs, even though I knew they needed it.  It stirred up bad emotions and memories from my childhood and left me feeling defeated and incapable of being a good mom.  I...

Jesus, though he was lord of all, came to earth as a humble servant.  He loved generously and served those he loved willingly.  He told his disciples, "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." The Bible encourages us to take on the humble nature of Christ.  By imitating Him and serving our families with love, we teach our childre...

We can learn from our past but if we constantly live there, mulling over our mistakes and letting them define us, our past will hold us back.  We won't be able to move freely into the future God has planned for us. Today we talk about God's awesome plans for us and how to walk into them by faith, letting go of the old so we can embrace the new.   You are a new creation in Christ!  Be fre...

How do we train our children in areas where we often struggle and fail ourselves?   How do we correct them without feeling like a hypocrite?  This was a question that often baffled me as a young mom.  Sometimes I didn't deal with issues I knew needed to be addressed because I wasn't sure how to handle them, given my horrible example.   Somewhere along the way I settled in my mind that my...

Formula thinking is believing there is only one right way, and if we can discover the “right” way and follow it exactly as prescribed,  everything will work out the way we want it to. There is no formula for raising Christian children.  There are no guaranteed results.  Being a parent is always a walk of faith. Text Audrey a message! She would love to hear from you!

When we know the difference between training our children and teaching them, we have a more realistic view of what it takes to give them the skills, knowledge, and faith they need to become successful adults. In this episode, I share five tools that can help make our work of training our children easier.    Also mentioned in this episode, Episode 5 - The Power of Relationship: The Key to Your Chil...

If it’s your desire to pass on your faith to your children, be encouraged. I believe God plants this desire deep into the hearts of His daughters.  And He always gives us enough grace to accomplish His will.   Family devotions can be a great tool in helping your children know and love God.   In this episode, I share encouragement and insights for starting  (or continuing) your own family devotions...

Family was God’s idea.  It was the first institution He ordained.   He created the first father and mother and placed them together in a beautiful garden where they were to multiply and fill the earth.  Strong families are the building blocks of strong communities, nations, governments, and churches.  All these other institutions flourish and prosper when families are strong and healthy.  As mothe...

Some days, you just don't feel like you can take the next step.  You're physically and spiritually exhausted.  Everything feels heavy and hard. The darkness is trying to seep into your soul and you're not sure how to keep it out.  What do you do on days like that?  How do you keep going?   In this episode, we look at Elijah's life and how God restored him when he was in a very...

In Matthew 25, Jesus shares with his disciples the Parable of the 10 Virgins to help them understand how they should live and prepare during the time between His departure and return.   In this parable Jesus tells the story of 10 virgins who were awaiting the arrival of a bridegroom so they could celebrate his new marriage.  Jesus calls half of these women wise and half foolish.   In this podcast...

God's peace is a gift to us from Jesus.  He wants us to have His peace regardless of our current circumstances. Though many things in this world promise peace, none of them deliver.  Only Jesus can give us the indescribable security of knowing that everything is going to be okay because He holds the whole world in His hands.  That’s the peace of God. In this episode I share four things that h...

So much of the work we do as mothers is hidden work.  The world will never see the daily sacrifices you make for your family.  But Jesus sees.   Your love for your family lived out through your daily service matters.  As we follow His example of laying down our lives to serve those who are often too immature to appreciate our work, we will be rewarded with much fruit, if we don't give up. Tru...

As moms we are called to lead our children to Jesus, to help them become disciples of Christ.  In our own strength and wisdom this assignment can seem not only difficult but impossible.  Thankfully we can ask and receive God's strength and wisdom He’s not limited by our limitations.  When God calls those who are very aware of their inability to do what He has asked, He knows they will lean on...

When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives He immediately begins the lifelong work of making us more like Christ.  That work begins in the HEART. There are three heart stones that can hinder our walk with God and keep us from being sensitive to His voice and leading.  By dealing with these issues and removing these stones from our hearts, we give Him permission to make our hearts new.
