  • Faith vs Fear Based Parenting

    How can we be faith-based parents, trusting God with the details of our parenting? We need to start by learning the character of God we can only trust him when we know him.
    we need to hold fast to the directions God gives us about parenting. We need to recognize when there are irrational fears present and nip it in the bud rather than feed it. next step is to build trust through relationships, repetition, and rebuking fears when they rise up.W e ultimately have to choose faith and trust God's sovereignty in the lives of our children.

  • Inconsistent Parenting

    In this episode, we talk about inconsistent discipline leading to the most resistant behaviors. Consistent parenting helps children know what their caregivers want them to do. It helps them see how a parent will react when they misbehave

    inconsistent parenting is extremely difficult for children. Parents who change their minds frequently or fail to provide effective leadership or more likely to raise emotionally volatile kids. We need to remain consistent so we help them develop socially and emotionally in an appropriate fashion so we don’t have these challenges later on down the road.

  • Is Your Past Keeping Your From Your Best Parenting?

    Is your past holding you from what God is calling you to do in parenting? I met with parents recently who were beaten with belts as children who chose not to discipline at all. Their children were acting out terribly and being dishonest. I had shared with them they  needed to get healing from their experiences in order to raise the children according

    to how god expects them to.


    At what age do children understand actions and consequences? Three years and up is the answer but there are some exceptions to that rule. As your child grows matures, and begins to understand the connection between actions and consequences, you must start communicating the rules of your family home. You must explain to your

    children what you expect from them before you punish them for behavior.
    A few basic tips for discipline are always make eye contact -never ask something more than twice- Pick your battles- be consistent. Don’t let your past stop you from walking in God's freedom and calling!

  • Who Are Your Root People?

    There are three types of people, leaf people branch people, and root people. We need to desire to have root people in our lives. Leaf people come into your life just for a season. You can’t depend on them as they are weak and only come to take what they want but then when the wind comes, they leave. Branch people are the people who break away when life is tough and can’t hold too much weight. They are stronger than the leaves, but you still have to test the branches out to see if they can sustain pressure or if

    they will snap. Root people are important as they do things not to be seen. They are supportive, even if you go through difficult times. They stay to water you and nourish you at the root and will be not moved by the storms of life or your position. We need to be rooted in God and desire to be surrounded by people with roots that can always nourish us and support us in our lives.

  • Pulling the Root of Anxiety

    There are a multitude of sources that could be triggering anxiety in our children, as well as in us as adults. A few of these are personal relationships, medical conditions, traumatic experiences, a job, even genetics play a role. Anxiety is a manifestation of something much deeper. It indicates that your life is out of alignment and

    something is wrong. In this episode, I share a story of a child who is diagnosed with severe anxiety, and once we got to the root of her cause, she has been free of it.

  • People Will Throw Stones

    People will throw stones at you, don’t throw them back, but use them to build an empire
    I’m sure all of you remember the saying from your childhood sticks

    and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt me

    While this is true, real sticks and stones would physically

    hurt us the psychological damage done by throwing hurtful words is real
    hurdles that we deal with in life
    I think back to different circumstances in my life when I’ve been
    criticized in the form of stones and the truth is, it all depends on
    how I’m feeling at the time if I’m confident in what I’m doing,
    then I would be able to shrug off some of the comments, but if I’m
    feeling unsure or uncertain then I will spend time worrying about what
    has been said rather than spend time on something constructive

    You have to make a decision, and I promised you that the

    next time you encounter someone throwing stones at you you would
    take it as feedback to put into a metaphorical box, and choose not to
    engage in any further discussion with them, but to try to look at it,
    objectively and see if there was any element of truth in their comments
    Is this hard absolutely but we truly have to look at it as a season
    to learn as much as we can without allowing those negative feelings and
    comments to stop our progress so we can use those stones to help us
    build our empires whatever that may look like
    I would love to hear how you have managed your stones being thrown
    at you and how you’ve used them to continue building yourself and your
    empire!

  • Imagination

    God created us to have dreams and imagine. Steve Harvey just shared a recent message on imagination being a preview of life‘s coming attractions. He went on to share that Albert Einstein said imagination is everything and the evidence of things not seen. In this episode, I share how I imagined and dreamed about Hope

    Community Center, and now it is opening, and how faithful God is when you place your dreams in his hands. CS Lewis said you were never too old to sit another goal or to dream a new dream never stop imagining!

  • The Disqualified Mom

    I don’t know about you, but my favorite job on earth has been being a mom. I never wanted anything more than to raise wonderful human beings who will give back to society, love God, and love others. As I have shared, I’ve always been entrenched in mentoring other moms and families. I know I have shared a handful of struggles that I have faced with my youngest child who was diagnosed with a processing issue, as well as ADHD, and the behaviors and challenges that came with it
    There have been countless times that I have felt disqualified to be in the position I have been in.

  • Hypocrisy - Part 2

    Join Nellie this week as she continues with her discussion on hypocrisy and why Jesus would change it. Hypocrisy is the gap between what we show and who we are. Let us start with our hearts today, and make a choice to be transparent and undo hypocrisy one step at a time.

  • Hypocrisy - Part 1

    I’m sure most of you have seen the bracelets people wear that

    say what would Jesus do? These bracelets are supposed to serve as a reminder before one is tempted to do wrong to remind themselves and ask themselves, What would Jesus do in that situation?
    On the other hand, I recently heard a message, titled What Would Jesus Undo?
    I think the first thing Jesus would undo is hypocrisy.
    There is a famous author, and theologian by the name of Brennan Manning, who quotes the following - the single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, yet go into the world, and deny him with their life.
    So what would Jesus undo- He would certainly undo hypocrisy.
    hypocrisy is the gap between what we show, and who we are- in other words what we say, and how we live.
    Titus 1:16 says they profess to know God but deny him through their
    works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.
    I don’t know about you, but I do not want to profess to know God and then deny him by my works. Jesus himself hated hypocrisy, so we should as well, as moms, we need to make sure that we don’t have a mask on in front of others, and our children see another side of us we need to remain transparent and honest and be the best example we can before our family and for God.
