These are just a few suggestions of safe and clean streaming entertainment platforms for kids. There are definitely more than just these I am talking about and I pray this encourages you to seek them out. We do not have to settle for platforms that are toxic for our children. Let's be willing to ditch them and find some that are wholesome and God honoring.

Coming to Disney plus in Australia and New Zealand is a new show called 'Little Demon'. It is every bit as awful as you think and even worse. This show isn't even rated for children so  why Disney is bringing it onto their platform blows my mind. Currently it has no other release dates for other regions but I'm certain they are coming.

Most Christian parents consider this to be a tough or nerve-racking conversation and that is explaining same sex couples or marriage to your children. We can no longer hide it from them. They see it in commercials, t.v shows, in our communities and for some of us, in our families.   

3 helpful tips before you start:  

1. Have a plan. 

2. Don't make it a big deal. 

3. Make it a safe place for discussion and questions. 

 Here is the plan I followed when explaining this to my own children, I pray it is helpful to you! 

1. Start with scripture: Genesis 1:27, and possibly Genesis 7:1-10, then Matthew 19:4-6 

2. Introduce the lifestyle: see video for notes on covering this 

3. Compare it back to Scripture: James 1:14&15, possibly Romans 1:24-29 

4. Teach them how to respond: Colossians 4:5&6 

5. Pray about it and for others.

Today I would like to share with you the top 5 reasons why we do not celebrate Santa for Christmas in our household. Although I grew up doing all the Santa traditions, the Holy Spirit has shown me how much of a distraction he can be. Of course, the true story of St. Nicholas is wonderful and inspiring but it has changed so much over the years. So much in fact, Santa has take on his own identity that does not resemble the true St. Nicholas at all.   

1. Stole attributes 

2. Twisted story 

3. Anti-Gospel message 

4. Gifts are from God 

5. Santa gets the glory

How do we develop discernment within our children?

Hebrews 5:14 ESV translation says, But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice, to distinguish good from evil.

Keywords here for us are constant practice, trained by constant practice. On today's podcast I will be sharing a few ways and ideas we can train our children constant practice.

1.) Through movies and tv shows

2.) Lyrics to songs

3.) Children's books

4.) Sermons

5.) Popular catch phrases

6.) What they learn or hear in public school

7.) Apologetics debates

Fallacy is everywhere. Our children cross paths with it everyday through either, music, books, commercials, school, friends, social media, I mean the list really just goes on! We can not protect, filter or keep them from it 100% of the time. It's just impossible. Our only hope is to train them up to be discerning on their own, testing everything to the written word of God.   

Today, I would like to share with you a recent discernment activity I did with my own children and what the outcome of it was. I pray that it both inspires and encourages you to practice this sort of thing with your children as well. :)  

1.) Explain what discernment is and why it's important 

2.) Explain the activity and what the mission is 

3.) Be 100% present during the activity and even do it alongside them 

4.) Take them to the truth and start testing

Holidays can be a hot topic when it comes to Christianity. Unfortunately, in the body of Christ it can cause a lot of division and in this video I’d like to talk about that a little bit. I'm going to be mostly sharing what we do as a family and how we came to that decision.
