The first episode of the Inspired To Action Podcast is ready! The topic is 5 Simple Ideas For A Family Fun Night. It's based off a recent guest post I did for Motherhood Your Way.
I actually recorded this only as a test, trying to figure out how to record and set up a podcast. But I've been sick ever since and haven't been able to record a new one. This is a great topic for the summer, though, so I hope you enjoy it.
I have SO much room to improve, but I'm really excited about this new way for us to communicate!
Enjoy the podcast and I hope you have some great family fun nights soon!

Creating a Lifegiving Table with Sally Clarkson ::: ITA136

There is good news about the global water crisis. In 1990, 76 percent of the world had access to improved drinking water. Today, that number is nearly 91 percent and growing.
Unfortunately, nearly 1,000 children under age 5 still die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. Clean water frees children from deadly diseases, liberates women and children from a life spent gathering dirty water and opens the door to education, a promising future, and a full life
My guest Laura Blank from World Vision shares how you can get your family involved in ending the global water crisis in our lifetime.
In This Episode, You'll Hear...

About World Vision’s Global 6K water initiative
Ways to involve your kids with big global causes to help people in poverty
Stories of how organizations are closing the gap for worldwide water shortage
Why addressing water shortage impacts the futures of families in developing countries
