Today on the podcast, I share some thoughts for the New Year AFTER I share a little about our Broggi Christmas…

In Matthew 18, right after Jesus explains to His disciples how important children are, He says  this: “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks!”

Each day there are more and more wicked stumbling blocks placed in front of children to keep them away from Jesus. On a recent text thread with my girls, one of my daughters-in- law said this, “Satan is coming for the kids and so many parents are clueless.”

She is so right. It’s not that parents want to be clueless, but so many of us just drift with the culture and we do not realize that as women, God first gives these little people to us and and it is so important that we take our jobs seriously, and train them up in the ways of God. 

On today’s episode, you’ll hear my heart concerning some of these things. I hope you’ll take a listen and pass it along.

This episode features, my daughter-in-law, Maureen. She reminded us of Proverbs 4:23, and that became the springboard for almost everything we shared during this episode. You will be encouraged to guard your heart by being in God’s Word and shutting out the world’s noise

Chesed and I had a fun, unscripted discussion as I asked her about biblical mothering. Among other things, she talked about giving your children the gift of honoring authority. We took some mothering trails and it was such an insightful, example-filled conversation. And, she reminded us that unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain …

Over the years I’ve received so many questions about mothering. Who should I listen to? Where should I get my advice? What’s the most important thing I should be teaching my children? How do I handle temper tantrums? What about spankings? What about training good habits? How do I stay consistent? And just recently, what about gentle parenting? In the next few episodes, this podcast is going to focus on biblical mothering, and how to take our cues from the Scripture rather than from all the influencers out there. This first episode is with my daughter, GraceAnna, and we tackle some of these issues. In coming episodes, you’ll hear from Chesed and Maureen as well. And if you have some things you would like to see us address on these podcasts, please send them!  You can reach me over on Instagram or Facebook.

Today on the podcast, you will hear a message from Chesed given at community Bible Church women’s brunch. It is both timely and encouraging.
