Beth Guckenberger is the co-executive director of Back2back ministries.  In this episode she talks about and her new book “Start with Amen”, where you literally start all of your prayers recognizing God’s sovereignty, and your position of surrender to your Heavenly Father.    This position helps you to say “so be it Lord!” in any and every situation, and allows you to be spiritually relaxed through your life, as well as your parenting journey. 

She also shares about orphans and foster care, and how we can transform hurt children into thriving adults, who then raise thriving children.  She talks about how we can do this by empathetically connecting with a child before correcting their behavior.  She discusses the importance of teaching children to use words, and to be able to communicate their feelings and emotions rather than express themselves with disruptive behavior.

Today Pam shares with us the importance of being a proactive parent, verses a reactive one.  Before we become parents, we envision what we want our family to look like, the types of activites we are going to do together, and we dream big long term dreams about our family.  Then, once the baby is born the day to day activities seem to rule the roost, and the once proactive parent becomes a very reactive one.  Pam shares with us the importance of constantly being proactive in your parenting, and what that practically looks like in a day in and day out basis.  To order her book you can go to:
