Beyond Sundays

Step into the life God has for you! God has a life for us that’s far greater than anything we can imagine, but too often we miss out because we’re not making the bold decisions He’s calling us to. In the first episode of our new Think Ahead series, we invite you to take action now for the future you want to live. Decide now what you will do later! It’s time to move from being reactive to proactive, from focusing on the short-term to embracing a long-term Kingdom vision, and from merely surviving to truly thriving. Tune in now and take the first step toward thinking ahead!

Open, respectful communication is an important ingredient in a healthy parent-child relationship. Research shows that building open, respectful communication with our kids can help prevent mental health issues and behavioral struggles. But, how do we encourage our children to share their thoughts and feelings with us? How do we build stronger connections with our children? Join Geoffrey and Sarah Turner as they sit down with their daughters, Berkley and Ellie, for a heartfelt "parent evaluation" to strengthen their connection. Here's to building stronger connections with our children as we tune into thier desires, dreams, and fears to foster empathy and compassion in our parent-child relationships!

Questions 

·      What can I do to be a better parent to you?

·      Do you feel like I listen well?

·      What do I do that you don’t like?

·      What rules are confusing or do you think we should revisit?

·      What goal can we set as a family?

·      What do you like/dislike about being in our family?

·      What are the biggest challenges you’re facing?

·      How can we make our family more fun?

·      What things are you excited about?

·      Is there anything I can help you with?

·      Do you feel as if I understand you?

·      What’s a memory that makes you happy?

·      What do I do that makes you feel loved?

·      How would you describe our family?

These are questions that you can ask your children at any time, anyplace. But you might get more detailed responses if you pick a time and location when your youngster is attentive, at ease, and not in a rush. Additionally, the less distractions, the better. These conversations can take place in a variety of settings, such as the dinner table, bedtime, car journeys, and lines or appointments where you have your child's undivided attention.

Discussion starters that are likely to spark interest include things like their hobbies, interests, friends, and pop culture. Ask them questions about their interests, such as superheroes, soccer, painting, or the piano. Examples include "What do you wish would happen if..." , "What do you think would happen if…" , "What would you do…" , "How could we…" , along with "Why do you think…."

If your youngster seems uninterested in answering your questions at first, don't panic. Additionally, don't go on to another one too soon or hurry them to respond. Allowing your youngster to speak at their own pace demonstrates your genuine interest in their thoughts and opinions rather than just making automatic inquiries.

When it comes to parenting, there is no magic formula. Nor is parenting a one-size-fits-all because all children are different and personalities vary. Yet, every child in our home is a unique gift that God has entrusted to us to raise up and train for a season. Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (ESV) But how? Today we are diving into the messy process of faith and identity formation in children. As parents, our role is crucial in helping our children understand who God is and who they are in Him. Join us for a valuable conversation all about Kingdom parenting!

SHOW NOTES

Driven by Eternity

One of the most important doctrines of the Christian faith is that of the Trinity. The subject of the Trinity is holy ground because it pertains to the nature of the one true God. So we approach the subject with all humility and reverence. But, if you feel a little baffled by the Trinity, join the crowd. History's greatest minds have stood in amazement before a God so great that our explanations cannot contain Him. However, God desires for us to know Him and He has chosen to reveal Himself, His nature, to us through the Trinity.
