Did you ever try to be a Star for Jesus at some point along your faith journey? Do you still struggle sometimes unknowingly to be? (Hello, any fellow perfectionist’s/first born’s/Enneagram 1’s or 3’s or so many other numbers!) 
Well, let us introduce you to Kimberly Stuart, podcaster, writer and author of the book Star for Jesus (and other jobs I quit). And we should also add dear friend to us both! You are going to LOVE this episode. 
Kimberly exudes grace. She’s deeply kind. And she’s HILARIOUS!!!! We both enjoyed this conversation immensely and know you will, too!

Episode 185: Parenting with Humility, Humor and Asking for Help with Kim Stuart

Y’all are going to LOVE this podcast! So many of you are already fans of the amazing Ben and Erin Napier, @scotsman.co and @erinapier. Okay—actually, who isn’t?! Their show, Home Town with all of its spinoffs, their passion for revitalizing small-towns, their store, Laurel Mercantile Co, his work with Scotsman Co…they are doing so many amazing things. 
But what you may not know is that the two of them, along with some friends, founded an organization called Osprey: Old School Parents Raising Engaged Youth. How awesome is that? Through Osprey, they’re helping all of us understand and guide our children (in the best old school way) in this world of technology.

Episode 183: Social Media, Accelerated Sports and More Modern Parenting Challenges with Landyn Hutchinson

We talk often about how the very best thing you can do, as a parent, is to work on your own stuff. Dr. Alison Cook is a trusted therapist and friend who is helping the world do that! Through her podcast, The Best of You and her newest book, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way, Alison helps us trade mental chaos for clarity, learn how to understand and process our emotions in healthy ways, and stop the self-defeating cycles we can all fall into. We love this book and are so grateful to have had this conversation full of so much wisdom and grace—not just for our kids, but for ourselves.

Episode 182: Letting go of the “Shoulds” in Parenting with Dr. Alison Cook

On Episode 80, we had a psychologist named Dr. Michael Thompson on the podcast to discuss the social connections of kids. He talked about the importance of summer camp for kids and said the very best part of summer camp is “that you’re not there.” Makes sense. 
We have talked to and witnessed the impact of camps for countless kids over the years…not just the skills learned like archery and horseback riding, but the independence and confidence gained from having opportunities they wouldn’t have had at home. Plus, a friend said recently that camp is literally the one place kids go anymore where they have no connection to technology. Hallelujah for that! 
On this week’s episode, we have our friends Glenn and Carter Breazeale, the owners and directors of Alpine Camp for Boys —of which we’re big fans, by the way. They talk about not only the importance of camp but how to help prepare your kids for camp this summer.  So much wisdom, practical help and hope in this episode—we can’t wait for you to listen!
