Every person on this earth has a sphere of influence. God has designed our lives to impact the lives of others. We have a responsibility to steward this influence well. Jesus is our perfect example. He called the disciples to be "with him". It is this withness that allows us to steward our influence well. 

We discuss how this truth impacts the Titus 2 model of discipleship and what it should practically look like in the life of a believer.

The more I read and research, the more I realize how important it is for children and adults to be out in nature! This aspect of life has become so important to us that we are seeking to make outdoor time a part of our family culture. That effort has led us to camping together! While it is so good to get away from everyday responsibilities and tech and get immersed in nature, it's not aways easy to tent camp with five little children! 

On this episode, I share tips that have helped us fall in love with camping adventures!

We are in the middle of summer here in Sydney, Australia. I have come up with a simple rhythm for our mornings during our break from homeschooling. I have found that having a bit of structured time together at the beginning of the day helps keep them from wandering around with no direction. This is a fun time of reading, learning together, music practice, and activities!

God has a will for every person and a plan for every person. His will is the gospel. He desires that all people come to know Him and to make Him known. His will is the bedrock from which the plan develops. It is in His will that we find our identity, but it is through His plan that we live out our daily callings for His glory.

This podcast is called No Higher Calling. What is my highest calling? What is your highest calling? In this episode, I share my heart and what God is teaching me from His Word in regards to the thought of His will and His plan for our lives.
