Episode 4: Rise Up to Identify Healthy Relationships

In Episode 4, Lori and Heather discuss friendships and how to help our kids (and ourselves) enjoy healthy relationships and steer clear of toxic ones. In Luke 1:1-46, we learn about the friendship between Mary and Mary’s relative, Elizabeth. Scripture gives us a glimpse into their friendship and shows us what a healthy interdependent relationship looks like. Lori and Heather bring to light 4 types of unhealthy and toxic relationships and how to respond to them. Listen to find out what those relationships look like and how to seek out healthy connections instead.

In our second episode, we tackle the challenges moms of young adults (tweens to twenty-somethings) face in order to rise up to release faith-filled kids. Our children’s ever-changing developmental stages demand we do multiple parenting shifts.

Scripture: Luke 2:41-52

Mary, the mother of Jesus, learned this lesson in Luke 2:41-52. Here, we find Mary searching frantically for her son when she should have been searching for a young man.

Join Lori and Heather as they unpack three simple tips to help release our kids bit by bit so we can be the mom our kids need.

To learn more about parenting styles and the parenting shift checkout: Raising Little Kids with Big Love or Raising Big Kids with Supernatural Love (Wildenberg and Danielson, Bold Vision Books).

Like Mary, if you need a time out to ponder mothering moments, checkout Mama Needs a Time Out: Getaways For the Mom’s Soul by Heather Riggleman.

In 2 Timothy 1:5, we read about Eunice and Lois, the mother and grandmother duo who raised Timothy. Paul credits them for passing along their sincere faith to Timothy. We are called, as believing moms, to do the same. All we need is the confidence and the tools do it. Lori and Heather offer four practical ways to set the stage for faith to blossom. They also discuss how to ready our kids for a culture that will challenge their faith.
