April 16, 2021 Ep58-Family: Love the Teenage Years By Being a Better Listener w/Jenilee Samuel
Most parents I know tell me to "savor the little years because the teenage years are the WORST!" I always grimmace a bit at these dooms-dayers. Why? Why should I need to hate the teen years? I want to enjoy my kids even as teens. So, I began paying attention, even before I had kids, trying to figure out why the teen years were so difficult for parents. In this episode I share some things I've learned as a youth pastor, Pastor and now a mom of a couple teens and tweens, and I believe there is one magic key that can make ALLLL the difference. Spoiler: my mom LOVED having all four of us as teens, and she was good at this... LISTENING. Let's dive into this simple, but powerful tool! Don't forget to come follow me on Instagram for all the latest updates, and to say hey! I love hearing from and interacting with you guys over there, so don't be a stranger!

SHOWNOTES:
Romans 10:17
Deuteronomy 5:32-33; 6:5-9
1. Everything has a price... What price are you willing to pay (comfort, convenience, time, etc) to get the word of God in your kid's hearts?
2. What Goes in will come out. You will reap what you sow. PUT IN the Word of God if you want to reap godly character in your children.
3. As parents, we must model a lifestyle built on the word of God.
-Example of my mom who was transformed by the word of God; Dad who had morning quiet times in the word; Your kids need to see your process of being changed by the word of God.

Practical ways to get the word into them:
1. Memorize scripture through phrase-upon-phrase repetition during built in times like meal times, nap time, bedtime.
2. Rules and boundaries at home need to be built around the word of God, and the kids need to know this.
3. Word of God is useful for correcting, rebuking, edifying, etc. Use the word of God as kind guidance in the discipline moments with your children. They need to see your reasoning comes from the word.
4. Write it on surfaces around the house. Mirrors, wall hangings, hung on fridge, etc.
5. Family Time where you read the word of God; ask what it means to them, have them imagine it. What does this tell us about God. What does it tell you about yourself? How can this change your life?
6. Listen to the word of God in your car! If you're listening, pull them in on it.
7. Talk about life situations. Ask thought provoking questions. Ask if a scripture might apply.
8. Share what you're learning from the Word.
9. Discuss what you saw in a movie, the messaging, and how it compares to the Word of God.
10. Regulate other voices going in through entertainment, peers, social media, music, etc. What goes in, comes out.
11. When there's behavioral issues, it's a thinking problem. There are lies present in their thinking somewhere. So bring correction by having them look up scriptures that are relevant to this area of struggle.

April 01, 2021 Ep 56- Tragedy to Triumph w/Mischelle Saunders-Gottsch
Not many of us were childhood cult-survivors like my guest Mischelle, however most of us can identify with being in or knowing people in an unhealthy relationship. Toxic relationships vary in severity, but knowing what to look for and how to respond to keep yourself safe and thriving is important. In today's episode, Mischelle shares her story about surviving a cult as a child, and we dig into how, as adults, to recognize when a relationship is unhealthy, and how to walk through healing and draw healthy boundaries that will protect you and others. Whether you've had mildly unhealthy relationships, or severely abusive ones, there's something good in this episode for you! If you know someone who you feel may be in an unhealthy relationship, would you send them this episode? Mischelle and I both are passionate about helping women love themselves well by walking in wisdom and healthy relationships, and sometimes that means knowing when to get out, or when to draw boundaries.
If you'd like to connect with Mischelle, you can find her on Itunes Podcasts, on Instagram, Facebook, and at her website as well.
Catch the episode I recorded with Mischelle on her podcast where I shared my story of Tragedy to Triumph and how we experienced so many miracles after losing our home in Hurricane Harvey. It's a good one!

March 04, 2021 Ep 52: Prayer That Changes Things w/Jenilee Samuel
Don’t like praying? Don’t pray enough? Feel like your prayers hit the ceiling and bounce back? I get it. I’ve been there, and the Holy Spirit had to teach me himself how to enjoy praying, and let’s be honest, no one enjoys praying if it doesn’t bear fruit! Well, I’m going to share with you what He taught me, and now my prayer life is not just enjoyable, but powerfully effective. In fact my family laughs over how quickly the Lord responds to my prayers. And in the life hack segment I share a simple strategy I do that helps me pray for tons of people with only a couple additional minutes a day. You don’t have to be uber noisy to be heard!

February 11, 2021 Ep. 49: Being a “Feeler” is a Superpower- Hear God & Shift atmospheres! W/ Yvonne Rempel
Feelers unite! It can be tough to be a feeler. You walk into a room full of people and suddenly it's like you stepped into an emotional field of landmines, picking up on people's happy, sad, mad, and glad. All the feelers know the exhaustion that comes from having emotional antennas that are constantly sensing the invisible climate of a space, and sometimes it's hard to know what's you, and what's the guy next to you. Today's guest, Yvonne, shares how this wiring is beautiful, from God, and can be a vehicle to hear his voice and have the ability to speak truth to the hearts of people in a unique and powerful way. It's also a superpower that can enable you to then SHIFT an atmosphere intentionally. If you're a feeler, you'll appreciate this episode. If you're NOT a feeler, you might have a little more empathy for the feelers around you! Share this episode with the feelers you know! (Or the thinkers who need help understanding you a little better ;) )
