Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear.
Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you?
How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus?
You talk about framing the concept of obedience in trust. How does that change the way we view our children's behavior and our reaction to their behavior?
What do we do with the guilt when we don't respond in an ideal way?

This blessing is a reminder of God’s presence with his people. Even though sin broke the experience his physical presence with Adam and Eve in the garden. God wants us to know that he is present. He holds and keeps us, and with his presence is peace.

It’s easy to let our mental growth go on pause. Some of us who loved reading in high school go for years without reading a book.
We talk about holding space for our kids to create, learn, and explore, How do we reawaken that desire for ourselves?
There’s a concept in Charlotte Mason education that we are to expose our kids to many beautiful things so that their minds have a large room.

We try to DO a lot in life. We live in a culture that finds pride in being "busy." This trickles into our spiritual lives also. Often we don't see the rub until something comes along and knocks our feet out from under us. These end up being acts of grace where we truly understand Jesus' completed work for us.
Do you tend to be relaxed or more anxious and tempted by hustle culture?
What has Jesus' example in earthly ministry taught you about priorities for our earthly life? You lost someone at a young age, how did that change your perspective and priorities?
One of the greatest counterfeits to living like Jesus is trying to be like him without him.
How do we use our anxieties as a doorway to loving God?

We know that technically all Scripture is profitable, but it seems like some of it is more helpful than others. In Bible studies, we discuss what our favorite book of the Bible is and just sayin' Ezra and Numbers has never come up. Kristie is here to talk us into taking a peek into and fall in love with some of these more obscure Old Testament books.
How do we answer the question "What's your favorite book of the Bible?"
Why do you think we are automatically attracted to some books of the Bible and not others?
Why do you think people believe the books that fall within the law genre are difficult to understand?
Why do we need to understand the Old Testament in order to understand the New Testament? What richness do we risk not getting if we don't read the Old Testament?
How do we lead others into loving the Old Testament?

We live in a culture that tends to spiral into MORE. We spend time with a friend and suddenly find ourselves enrolled in a new activity. We scroll social and buy a new product. We walk through Target and suddenly find ourselves "needing" thing we didn't know about when we walked in

For many of us doing “quiet time,” “Bible time,” or “Devotions” with our kids feels like an all-or-nothing experience. We have in our mind what we think it should look like, and if we fall short of that we just give up.
What impact do parents have on faith? Can they just leave that for Kid’s church?
What happens if we try to copy the way other families teach faith?
How do we find our family’s why?
How do I have that conversation with my husband or wife? What happens if they don’t see it the way that I do?
If I have to do it alone where do I start?
