  • #7: 7 Ways to Protect Our Children from Sexual Abuse
    I recently spoke at the same conference as, and later became good friends with, a representative from the National Organization of Victim’s Assistance (NOVA). The mission of NOVA is to champion dignity and compassion for those harmed by crime or crisis. They work quite frequently on behalf of abuse victims.

    One evening, my friend and I were carpooling back to our hotel from the event. On the car ride, I asked him a personal question.

    “As a dad,” I began, “how can I best protect my kids from sexual abuse?”

    In this podcast episode, we discuss the seven answers he gave me and how we have applied them in our own home. The purpose of this episode is to help you be vigilant and proactive.

  • #6: How a Family of Six Does Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways with Russell + Sarah Glass
    Our podcast guests this week are Russell and Sarah Glass. Business owners with four young children–ages 2, 4, 6, and 8–they share their adventure, a move from California to Tennessee, to open a restaurant. The catch? They were never in the restaurant business until this move. Instead, they’re in the relationship business.
    Before the move, Russell described himself as a “shell of a husband and dad.” When they made the decision to sell everything and take this adventure, it became about the entire family. From the Lego bricks in their restaurant that the kids designed, to the lessons they teach us about doing ordinary things extraordinarily well, there’s a lesson for each of us. Are you ready to follow an adventurous God?

  • #5: How Secondhand Screen Time Can Harm our Kids: What Parents Need to Know
    Have your children asked you to put your phone down, trying to get your attention? Ours have.
    Our relationship with our screens—not unlike the secondhand smoke elicited by a smoker—may be impacting our children more deeply than we realize.
    One such study describes it as “distracted parental attention,” and how it is impacting our kids’ cognitive development, especially their ability to process pleasure. Other studies show increased anxiety and depression in our kids today related to screens.
    In this episode, we talk openly about the challenges of the screen in our own home. We also discuss practical ways to show our kids they are more important than our phones.  The most powerful application comes at the very end, when Christi reveals the “why” behind her limits.

  • #4: How One Married Couple Finds Joy in Leading a Nonprofit Ministry, Together with Matthew + Bethany Williams
    Our podcast guests this week are Matthew and Bethany Williams. Not only are they married, together they lead Exile International, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower children of war to become leaders for peace through art therapy and holistic, rehabilitative care. In this episode we go behind the scenes of the Williams’ marriage and work together. They share with us how they discover hope in the emotionally draining work of helping restore rescued child soldiers.

Christi and I consider it a privilege to serve on the Board for Exile International. See the show notes below to learn more about Bethany’s story in the book Color of Grace, and the work of Exile International.
