Crazy Cool Family

“In today’s day and age- our kids can just ask AI “what does God look like?” and get an actual picture- is it accurate? NO! But so many things are being defined for our kids- how do we show them that following God/knowing Him is worth it and an adventure worth going on?!” - CCF Parent 

Don and Suz unpack the realities of technology in our kids' lives and how it can affect raising kids. They share how different times were when they raised most of their kids BUT they have learned along the way how technology can hinder or help build family relationships. 

Join them as they unpack ways you can help your kids desire the things of God over the things of the world. They share vision for your family and practical ways to set boundaries around technology. 

"We must continuously show them God and that he is worth following. He is no comparison or competition with technology... it just seems that way because we must work a little harder in this world to see, know, access God." - Suz

If your family is struggling with technology - how to use it and how to not allow it to become an idol, then this is the podcast for you!

Suz is talking about her wheelhouse today. She has done thousands of hours at home with littles, middles, and bigs AND she has been in the workplace full time. The goal of today's episode is to inspire moms to thrive in the day to day of motherhood AND help families thrive in every ordinary day of your life/season. 

Suz shares her practical tips and tricks on mothering at home, in the workplace, and with your spouse. This episode is timely with Fall coming and the schedules starting to settle in. We don't want the season to pass us by- we want Jesus at the center and relationships to thrive! If you are struggling to thrive in your weekly routines, then this podcast is for you! Listen and share it with someone who needs wisdom in this area too!

We are so excited to have Abby and Alicia from No Heart Left Behind on the podcast today. A good podcast with lots of good insight. They really have a focus -- like us -- of getting to the core issues in the heart of the parent and the heart of a child. We talked a lot first about the parent and then about the child. With the parent, we also talked about how to change our own heart through walking with Jesus and the role of friends/small groups in our lives.

With the kids, they talked a lot about helping the child feel like the matter to the parents. Difference between love and mattering. Also, she said three keys: Significance, belonging, security.  We dove deep into topics like connection, time and relationship. Talked about building our core and then helping our kids build their core.

It’s the end of summer BUT the beginning of Fall! As we start the Fall, we wanted to highlight the 2024 Olympics and how it brings family together. The inspiration of hard work and celebration of wins is exciting! Our family loves competition and it has unified us throughout the years. Sports, we believe, are a way to win at family –it brings out our character (good and bad!) and forces us to be refined.  

But if your family isn’t into sports- don't turn this podcast off! We are using the Olympics as an example of the power of training + winning. We want to help your family WIN this Fall.  

Do you want to WIN at family?  We believe you can “get the gold” this Fall with every relationship in your family. This podcast gives you practical takeaways to start building your best family today!
