December 17, 2024 Anxiety’s Impact on Parenting | Abundant Life Family Podcast S2E8
The hosts sit down with Dr. Jeff Cox, the Executive Pastor of Missions and Counseling at Abundant Life, to talk about anxiety’s impact on parenting.

Dr. Cox says social media is behind one of the shifts he’s seeing in counseling children. A few years ago, depression was the biggest issue children were facing. Now, it’s anxiety. One of the biggest drivers of anxiety is social media. Social media drives comparison, which is the thief of joy and where anxiety thrives. Forty years ago, parents didn’t need to worry about social media. Now, it is creating anxiety in both parents and kids.

Children will model their behavior after those closest to them, especially their parents. If the parent is always anxious, the child will learn to see the world that way too. Combating anxiety’s impact on parenting can look like soothing your body. That means parents slowing down, playing with their children, connecting to God’s Word and His Creation by spending time outdoors.

Dr. Cox also talked about the importance of developing a healthy, secure attachment style with your child. This happens in the first five to seven years of life. Ways parents can combat an anxious attachment style with their children is to focus on:

Delighting in them
Listening to them and being present in conversations
Teaching them to think highly of themselves and believe that God made them.

December 03, 2024 Parenting Tools to Raise Kids God’s Way | Abundant Life Family Podcast S2E7
The hosts welcome Brandon and Susan Fields, members of Abundant Life, who are raising three young boys. The Fields talk about their journey to becoming parents and the choices they have made to raise their children God’s way.

Before having children, the Fields were both pharmacists, working 40 hours a week, living in what they thought was their dream home. After having their first son, they both felt compelled to make changes, like downsizing their home, so they could focus more on parenting.

They shared some of the parenting tools they have learned in a resource at Abundant Life. The course is called, “Growing Kids God’s Way.” All of the parenting tools in the course focus on helping parents raise their children to know and love the Lord. Some of these parenting tools include:

The interrupt courtesy
Verbal response after instruction
Setting boundaries to limit busy-ness

Having the right parenting tools is vital in raising children who know and have a relationship with God. Join us here weekly to learn more parenting tools and strategies to help your family succeed!

The hosts welcome back Josh and Dixie Paul. They are members of Abundant Life, who’ve raised two kids while Josh worked in the Navy as a psychiatrist. They continued their conversation about dealing with family trauma and how it can impact relationships.

Josh compared dealing with family trauma to swimming upstream. It’s going to be hard, tough and exhausting at times, but it’s going to be worth it in the end.

Dixie talked about how her family trauma affected her husband and kids. It led to her kids being insecure and anxious about meeting new people or letting people in. When she decided to work on healing from her past family trauma, she learned ways to help her kids process things as well.

Josh and Dixie talk about the path to finding hope through family trauma through tools like:
Seeking professional help
Communicating openly with a trusted family member or spouse
Talking to safe, appropriate people about your past
Leaning into the promises of the Lord

The hosts touched on how important it is to take time to address family trauma, work on healing past hurts, and lean on other people during the process.

October 08, 2024 Special Needs Parenting | Abundant Life Family Podcast S2E3
Kelsey Knutson-Leedy, the Special Needs Coordinator at Abundant Life, is raising a child with special needs. She joins the hosts to share her experience and the lessons she’s learned through special needs parenting.

Kelsey talks about the resources she’s using to raise her stepson. She says the key is to have a strong community around while parenting a child with special needs. Being able to celebrate “wins” with parents who get it is really important in special needs parenting.
Bill mentioned how some mile markers parents have might look different for families with special needs, including:

Preparing for child and parent dedication
Preparing for school
Salvation
Rite of passage
Preparing for adulthood

Kelsey shared the wisdom that raising your child with special needs might look different, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important or working. Sharing the Gospel with them might not be as traditional as with other children, but figuring out ways to help them learn about Jesus through their interests is the best approach.

Drew and his wife, Charissa, use Equipped Outdoors as a ministry to introduce families to God’s creation in the outdoors. They believe that while objects and gifts come and go, experiences can last for a lifetime.

August 28, 2024 Blended & Blessed (Part 2) – Parenting as a Team | Abundant Life Family Podcast (Episode 35)
Join Bill and Jen Hildebrand as they continue their conversation with Scott and Lori Ridings about building a blended family.
Scott and Lori share some important lessons they learned while blending their families. They were intentional with the language they used to talk about their family, which allowed them to build trust with their kids.
Scott and Lori share how they worked to connect with their kids by making time and space for conversations when the kids were ready. They share stories about disciplining their kids and navigating tough conversations.
They encouraged couples to be unified, loyal, consistent, and forgiving while navigating parenting as a team. Forgiveness must be a part of your marriage if you want to look like Christ, but that requires humility. The enemy wants to keep you and your spouse isolated in your struggles as a couple and family. But you can overcome him by reaching out and asking for help!
