What would happen if we could walk into any room bringing our identity, rather than getting our identity from it?   Following up our episode on giving kids joy permission comes an episode on how to experience joy as a byproduct of walking daily with Jesus in our true identity. When we’re not walking in our true identity, we’ll get it from one of three places:what we havewhat we door how we think other people see us.   In this episode, Steve Petermeyer, a coach with Identity Exchange, joins us to talk about how we can know our true identity, identify when we’re believing a lie about who we are, and how to invite Jesus into telling us the truth.  Steve also walks through questions we can ask in our faith communities to get us beyond small talk, go below the surface, and live out our unique identity. For example, what are you doing that God never asked you to do? Are there any lies that you’re believing? What is one fear you currently have?If, as Steve says, “More is caught than taught,” when it comes to raising our children, imagine the implications of living out of our true identity as fathers and mothers.  In this episode, Steve discusses:Why all external conflict is the result of internal conflictThe two worldviews that influence our identity and how we relate to the world around usThe two ways we act when we’re walking in our false selfFour ways to walk with God more intimately, discover your identity, and live in your true selfWhat it looks like to “remember” our identity as we walk with and pray to Him each dayHow to recognize an emotion, confess it to God, and ask Him what the truth about that emotion really isHow we can disciple our children on how to hear from GodShow Notes:  Check out Living Fearless by Jamie Winship. Click here.https://amzn.to/3UhGyjC Listen to Jamie Winship talk about abundance versus scarcity worldviews.Click here.https://youtu.be/2s3KWZFCH0A?si=YNR6bAF7ZW8xsZq_ To learn more about Identity Exchange, click here. https://www.identityexchange.com/coaching

Walking in Your Identity with Steve Petermeyer

There are so many parenting debates happening right now in the culture at large. Screentime. Discipline. Anxiety.  But what if we’re focused on the wrong things?  Instead of trying to fix and manage the problems, what if we cultivated the solution?  What if the environment we cultivate is the very thing our children need?  In this episode, Josh talks about their current parenting journey, the two competing worldviews that influence how kids experience joy, and how we can give our kids joy permission.  Here are some highlights:  How two competing worldviews influence the amount of joy in our homeWhy we need joy permissionWhy resourcefulness is a cheat code for helping kids live joyful livesThe one way to step into joy this week as a family, no matter how difficult the season you find yourself in right nowShow Notes:  Focus on the Family Broadcast: Click here to listen to Encouraging Your Kids to Discuss Their Feelingshttps://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/encouraging-your-kids-to-discuss-their-feelings/ Listen to Jamie Winship talk about abundance versus scarcity worldviews.Click here.https://youtu.be/2s3KWZFCH0A?si=YNR6bAF7ZW8xsZq_ The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt.Click here.https://amzn.to/3vWdgie
