Christian Home and Family Radical Faith for Generations

DR. ALFRED N. "BUZZY" GREEN
founder of RhythmBee and RhythmBrain

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S PODCAST

A conversation with Dr. Alfred N. "Buzzy" Green about a variety of issues relating to rhythmic exercises, brain health, and learning disabilities. This is a fascinating conversation to help us understand the wonderful thing God has given us in our brains, and how we can be better stewards of them. Our conversation ranged all over the place - music education, musicianship, God's wonderful gift of the brain, recent scientific studies regarding the function of the brain, and how rhythm may be helpful in overcoming learning disabilities.

CAREY GREEN
founder Christian Home and Family

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S PODCAST

A sermon presented at Community Church of Leadville, Colorado - the church where Carey serves as Pastor (as of this posting).

This message was presented as part of a Expository series of messages through the Epistle to the Ephesians. The series was entitled "IF/THEN" - referring to the reality that IF a person is a believer in Jesus Christ, THEN they have been transformed and certain changes should happen in the way they live. This message came in the "THEN" portion of the study, Ephesians 6:1-4. The message covers some of the New Testament teaching on roles and responsibilities of Christian children and their parents.

Chart from the message:

During this presentation I used a chart, illustrating the process by which parents relinquish control to their children over time. It's on the right... click on it for the full-size version!

MY GUEST INTERVIEW:

AARON, MELINDA, AND MADELINE GREEN

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S PODCAST

A continuation of a conversation I had with my 3 oldest children, Aaron, Melinda, and Madeline - about the establishment of daily devotions for kids.

To clarify, when I say "Daily devotions for kids" I don't mean family devotions or devotions that parents do with their kids. I mean the establishment of your kids' own personal habit of daily time with the LORD. This is a vital area of parenting - shepherding your child's heart to love the LORD and truly want to spend time with Him daily. Over the years I have seen these 3 grow to love and pursue the LORD for themselves, and I wanted to ask them questions regarding how that happened, what the process was like, and what the LORD has done in their lives.

This is PART 2 of the interview - you can find part 1 HERE.

• The point at which things began to become personal.
• Things that helped make that transition occur.
• Their perspective on God and relationship with Him.
• Helpful things the parents can do.
• Advice for parents.

MY GUEST INTERVIEW:

CARL WALKER

Walker Family Excursions

• Excursion 2011
• Excursion 2012

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S PODCAST

A conversation with Carl Walker of En Gedi Retreat who has developed, along with his wife, what I am calling an "out of the box" sort of practice they call "excursions."

An excursion is:  1 part mission trip, 1 part vacation, and 1 part exploration.

Carl and I discuss how these trips first came about, why they came about, and how they put them together and implement them. He shares some powerful stories of how these trips have impacted him, his family, and the people they have served.

I think you'll enjoy this interview perhaps more than I enjoyed making it (though that might be tough... I had a really good time).

• Introduction of the podcast and topic
• Introduction of Carl Walker, director of En Gedi retreat
• How the idea of "excursions" came about
• What IS an excursion?
• What the family thinks about excursions
• Excursion stories (How God has worked)
• Carl's "Top 5 Tips" for pulling off your own family excursion
