Christmas can be a really hard day. It seems to be a day that really highlights the dreams we had that didn’t pan out. Teens aren’t excited about the traditions. Kids were selfish about new presents. Adult children aren’t coming home this year. One of them still isn’t talking to us. Husbands didn’t listen as well to our gifting hints as we hoped. The list of disappointments can be quite long, and you are not alone.
This world will bring troubles, but God has not left us without help. Listen in for some encouragement. He is the lifter of our head.

Seeking Health with Mark Sherwood

Thanks for all your listener questions and comments! Keep sending them. 
I’d like to be a stay at home mom before I have another child, but I’m afraid we can’t provide for them. | I can’t access my children’s medical records after 13?! | I’ve done my homeschooling job well, now I’m not sure where to go next. 
Good things to discuss today!

Mailbox Monday: Parenting Questions

When is the last time God called you to do something that felt terrifying? When God nudges us into the unknown, it can be thrilling and exciting but also overwhelming and risky. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, a corporate leader looking to follow God's calling, or a retiree who knows you have more to give to the world, this podcast will inspire and encourage you to walk out your calling—and wait for God’s timing.

Walk In Your Calling with Rachel G. Scott

Elena Barbera is an average mother turned unlikely filmmaker, and this woman is off the bench and onto the battlefield. American Groomer tells the story of how American children are being sexualized in their schools, how it came to pass that 39 states, it's legal to show porn to school children and what can be done about it. 
Note: This is a challenging discussion and not a great topic for little ears.

The Kids Are Not Alright with Elena Barbera

I’m loving these listener questions with my friend Pastor Phil Hopper. You guys have some good ones today, and we’re talking about a couple things that have happened recently also.
How do we unpack public situations without creating public drama? | My neighbor says God gives her visions. Is this Biblical? | Do we schedule Biblical healing during our services? | Is it worth it to argue about different views of the end times?
