In continuing from episode #63, Eric and Gena discuss 5 elements that aid in building a positive home environment. Tune in as they talk about their real-life experiences in working together to create a positive atmosphere in their own home as their children grew up and beyond. The negativity of culture does not have to invade your home! Create a safe-place and an atmosphere of security and growth that yields productivity!

With so much negativity, divisiveness, and hate in culture, it’s more important than ever that our homes be a safe place, a fun place and a refuge. We need a refuge from the argumentative spirit of the world. What is the environment of your home? Is it good and pleasant and productive? Finding the good, and realizing all that is in your favor, and living out of thankfulness for all that will affect the atmosphere of your home. In addition, find out what is coming into your home—the music, the movies, the TV shows, the internet. What attitudes are allowed in your home? All those things help set the atmosphere and all of that is under your control as leaders in your home! Join this episode where Eric and Gena discuss some things that help set a positive home atmosphere. The atmosphere matters!

Each generation, as it says in Psalm 78:7, must set its hope anew on God. Your children and grandchildren are dependent on you to pass on what you know and what you’ve experienced of God. The Bible is clear about parents' responsibility in relation to establishing a heritage and a legacy for future generations. How seriously do you take this call that God has given? What are you doing to make sure that your family is solidly set in a foundation built on God and His truth? The Boggs challenge us in this episode to make sure that we are passing along all the goodness of God to our family and to the generations to come.

You’ve probably discovered that marriage, parenting, and family life can be overwhelming at times! We often face opposition inside and outside our own homes. The struggle is real and frustration can take over quickly. The temptation to give up, to quit trying, or to just settle into a survival mode of living can seem to be our only resolve. Eric and Gena encourage us in this podcast to be persistent—-to keep loving; to keep pursuing; to keep giving and forgiving. We must keep teaching our kids and keep instructing them in “right” living. No matter the present situation, you can not give up!

Let’s discuss how the “genuine faith” that Paul recognized in Timothy (2 Timothy 1:5) can show up in our homes on a regular basis.
