Rare but Real

As mothers and grandmothers, we often think our children are our biggest problems - we think they present the biggest challenges in our lives. But actually, other issues loom large and work against us. In this message, we look at four of our biggest problems - and they might surprise you. Sometimes all we need is a whole new perspective.

Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘we will not walk in it.’” Jeremiah 6:16-17. How about you? In these next few podcasts, you will hear the messages from the Biblical Mothering conference. It is my prayer that God will use each message tremendously in your life, no matter your age or season of life.

On this podcast, you’ll hear from my daughter-in-law, Maureen. She gave the closing message at the Biblical Mothering conference. You will be encouraged by it and if you would like to hear the entire conference, you can watch or listen here: https://www.communitybiblechurch.us/

This episode is all about raising your daughter to make important life decisions. College, majors, single years, marriage, family...

About salvation. About baptism. About taking communion. About learning to have their own quiet time. Maureen and I had a conversation about helping our children not only understand what it means to be saved, but guiding them as they learn about obedience to Christ, and how that shows up in areas like baptism, communion, and even developing their own time with the Lord. It was such an encouraging and enjoyable conversation.

Picking up where Chesed and I left off, I had a conversation with my daughter about what her days are like as she homeschools her children.

We were asked to do a podcast on a day in the life of a homeschool mom. It seems impossible to get everything done each day which can lead us to feel overwhelmed by the tasks before us. Chesed so wisely shared that her mom, Sharon Coppenger, told her, "God gives you enough time to do what He wants you to do each day." Such a fun conversation!

We were asked specifically how to prioritize our husbands and be their helpmeets, even in the childbearing years when wives so often feel overwhelmed, busy, and spent. GraceAnna joined me for a thoughtful and fun discussion! 

So this is Part 2 of addressing“hot tips” to being a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Chesed joined me and just like with Maureen, we also had so much fun talking about our relationship!  I love my girls 💙

I was asked to do a podcast on “hot tips” to being a good mother-in-law for your son’s wife. Also, “hot tips” for a daughter-in-law’s relationship with her mother-in-law. Maureen joined me for a discussion and we had so much fun talking about our relationship!  Stayed tuned for a future episode with Chesed
