Parents Take Five

Are you already feeling those summer time blues? Just know you're not alone.

Jen has another conversation with April Fiet discussing a blog post she wrote a while back. 

"If Im carrying a burden that’s too heavy for me but I don’t tell anyone then that person doesn’t have the opportunity to bless me in the way God wants them to."

In today's episode Jen is asking us to look what our priorities have become and if we need to take the time to see if that is really what we want. Is it time to reprioritize? 

Jen is back this episode with Eric Nolin and they are discussing how we as parents may be grieving a loss and how we can show our kids what it looks like to grieve well. 

Jen is starting a new series with Eric Nolin, a former hospital chaplain, to talk about death and grief. This conversation started after Jen read Eric's Presbyterian Outlook article, My death and resurrection as a chaplain.

Eric Nolin, M.Div., is a recent graduate from Fuller Theological Seminary, where he took a special interest in studying grief, pastoral care, and the resiliency of the human spirit. When he's not reading or writing, you'll find him running, climbing, or exploring new restaurants with his wife.

Jen's here to give her 5 minutes to why she believes sheltering your kids is not the same as protecting them. 

You are enough. As parents we need to make sure and pass that on to our kids. 

This episode Jen is discussing why people need to do better on social media. We need to be better examples for our children. 

Jen is fed up with triggers.
