Having a strong mind is important. But what is a strong mind, and how does a Christian maintain one? Today I will share a few ways to be faithful with our thinking. (And maybe I mention the enneagram in this one.) Show Notes: Sheprovesfaithful.com/podcast/episode182 Support $5 a Month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithful Send me a Text Message.

SPF 182: Why We Need Strong Minds (And How to Cultivate Them)

Practical theology to help you think biblically and live faithfully. God has called you to live a productive life though growing in the knowledge of Him and stewarding His grace and gifts with intention.

All of life is worship (Colossians 3:17) and we are on a journey of making God’s Name great (Psalm 105:1) as we love and obey Him with our whole lives (Deuteronomy 6:5). She Proves Faithful teaches a biblical worldview to help women live gospel centered lives, living in freedom and honoring Jesus as King.

Lets get into God’s Word so you can throw off the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of sin and live a faithful, fruitful life to the Glory of God.

Today I am addressing cultural push back I received with advice on how being a mother hampers life and confuses the value of one’s work. Plus I’m sharing how to dig deep and develop a biblical worldview on motherhood with two simple questions.

Show Notes:
Much of culture's push back to biblical values and commands is rooted in humanism, which defies the authority and purposes of God. Psalm 128 teaches that those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed. Christians root their values and purpose in the Truth of the Scriptures which teach that God is the authority and lays out His ways for us to walk in.

When we read the Scriptures, we find our worldview including what to believe about motherhood. It should be wrapped up in the truth of God, and who we are according to him. While worldview involves our thoughts, it also involves our actions. And so here we have a full worldview of godliness, both the belief that there is prosperity when we fear and obey the Lord, and such a belief that our hands find themselves diligently doing these things. And from that there is prosperity.

"Religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God praise that it is so, and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it." Matthew Henry 

Two questions you can ask are - by what authority and to what purpose? when considering the cultural push back to motherhood. 

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table. NKJV Psalm 128:3

One question I think we need to think about as Christian parents who long for our children to walk faithfully as Christians is: Are there things we can do while our children are in our home to transmit a biblical worldview? 

Two most important factors in transmitting a biblical worldview to your children, according to recent research: Habits and Pursuit.

Habits: Part of creating a family culture revolves around typical things you do in a family - your routines, your traditions, the repetition in your life. Make these habits God-centered and God-glorifying. Deuteronomy 8

Pursuit: This is the intentional process to seek out relationships with your children and spouse. That pursuit regardless of what is going on interpersonally will be a source of comfort, encouragement and security for your family.

And do it all with joy.
Nehemiah 8 “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

SPF 259: Resisting Tempting Counterfeits

A few battles in the American War for Independence helped turn the tide for the Patriots, but it wasn't because of their huge imposing armies. Today I am sharing a little American history and how it helped me remember that God uses the small humble things to accomplish big things demonstrating His might and glory. This includes God using the small humble Christian family to turn the culture back to one that exalts Christ.  Support $5 a Month: https://pateron.com/sheprovesfaithful Earthley Wellness Products: https://earthley.com/ref/lauren.hlushak/ America In God's Providence Textbook:  https://store.generations.org/products/america-in-gods-providence-textbook     Send me a Text Message.
