Parent Hub Live

This week we meet Tanner Hill, Renee Smith and her brother Liam. All three are involved in leading Camp Bethany this summer. They were also on staff last summer overseeing our Outdoor Adventure Clubs, as well leading weekly youth small groups. We hear about their passion for serving the next generation, why they are looking forward to Camp Bethany and what led them to serving at Bethany. They also share what they appreciate most about their parents and a word of encouragement.

Austin and Laura (Pastor of Worship and Creative Arts at Bethany) join us or Part 2 of our conversation. In this episode we hear about how Asian Canadians experience discrimination and microaggressions, how Austin and his family personally have felt this, their hopes for their daughters, and how we as individuals and as a church we can be better and and do better when it comes to accepting and including everyone around us - especially those who are different from us. They conclude with a couple practical marriage and parenting tips!

Austin and Laura (Pastor of Worship and Creative Arts at Bethany) shares how they met, what drew them to each other, and what they’ve found challenging and surprising in their first few years of marriage. Being in an interracial marriage (Laura from Canada with European descent, and Austin also Canadian, but born in Korea and raised in those norms and traditions), hear how they’ve navigated expectations and been intentional in honouring both family cultures through humility and honest conversations.

This week we continue our conversation with Naomi Reimer. She speaks about her personal period of burnout, her journey back to health, and how resting and listening prayer have been her catalyst for this. She shares why she decided to go back to work as a counsellor at Niagara Life Centre as well as helpful tips on how to be fully present and intentional as a busy parent.

Naomi Reimer shares about going back to work after spending time at home raising her girls. Learn how she approaches work differently than when she was previously in a career, how she strives to meet all the demands on her time, and how centering herself on Jesus has made all the difference.

Jayne Duldner (Bethany's Director of Children's Min) shares about her upbringing, who led her to Jesus and to start in kids ministry, and what has kept her passionate about serving kids and families for over 30 years. She also talks about how parenting has changed over the years, how we need to adjust how we parent as our kids grow and shares many other practical parenting tips and wisdom!

Pastor Andrew and Krista Mills share about themselves and how they support each other's life goals and dreams.

We’re experiencing a world crisis we haven’t seen for generations. How do we make sense of it for ourselves and our kids, and how do we help our kids unpack what they may be feeling in a healthy way.  How can we leverage this crisis as an opportunity to live out at home our faith and trust in a sovereign and loving God.
