How to Help Your Child Feel Loved
Trace Embry, Michelle Hill and our friend Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages of Children, discuss how parents can foster emotional wellbeing in their children by understanding their love languages. He explains that each child has a primary love language, which could be physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, or quality time.
Parents can identify their child’s love language by observing their behavior, listening to their complaints, and noting their requests. Dr. Chapman emphasizes that while all love languages are important, speaking the child’s primary love language is crucial for them to feel loved. He also suggests that discipline should be wrapped in the child’s love language to ensure fairness and understanding.
Dr. Chapman shares a sad story of a young man who never really knew his father. This was shared with Dr. Chapman by the young man at his father’s graveside service. Therefore leaving Dr. Chapman sad knowing it was now too late for that father to know his child’s love language.
Episode Highlights:
Can you name the 5 Love Languages?
Ask yourself, “Do your children feel loved?”
How to identify your child’s love language.
When is it NOT a good time to offer advice to your child?
Why is it so important to spend time with your children?

September 26, 2016Why Our Youth are Craving a Second Chance with Nick Hall [Podcast]
Sadly, this sentiment has actually been adopted by many of our teens. They believe themselves to be beyond the redemption of even the Lord Jesus Christ. The truth is, our youth are craving a second chance to feel alive in this world.
Nick Hall is the founder of the ministry PULSE and author of the book Reset: Jesus Changes Everything available on amazon. Hall has been featured on major media outlets including Fox News, US News & World Report, Christianity Today, Fox & Friends, Moody Radio, Baptist Press, The 700 Club, Decision Magazine and The Christian Post. He and his wife, Tiffany, live in Minneapolis with their two children.
Youth are Craving a Second Chance
This generation has seen, heard and done things that many adults of previous generations have never seen or experienced during their entire lives. This exposure to depravity has returned nothing but emptiness. In my work at Shepherds Hill Academy, time and again I have seen that kids are wanting something real, and almost nobody is giving it to them. Many parents and youth leaders fail to understand that this generation is looking for some spiritual meat! They are truly hungry for God. I don’t know why more people don’t understand that.
There are reasons kids are leaving the church in droves and that the average new teen-convert to Christianity only stays in church 8-11 weeks. I have found that teens, and young people in general, are not looking for more entertainment, excitement or friends even. They’re actually seeking something genuine—the one true God—whether they actually articulate it that way or not. Our guest today understands that and shares with our listeners his passion to “awaken culture to the reality of Jesus” and his experience of working with nearly 3 million students. Our topics for this program include:
What is PULSE and why is it important.
How to look past the glaring negative stats of the millennial generation.
Why it is important to listen to your teen instead of preach to them.
The incredible role patience plays in learning the truth about the youth.
How to move forward with your teen if he/she is looking for a “Reset.”
How to prepare an environment where your teen can mature in his/her faith.
How to get involved with the “Reset” movement.
