Tell Me More - A Southland Christian Church Podcast

There isn't a tougher job on the planet than parenting! At the same time, there are a ton of voices speaking into how to do it.

We are releasing a new podcast for parents that focuses first on the heart of the parent because at the end of the day, you can't give what you don't have. We want so many things for our kids, but often what matters most when it comes to our parenting is the condition of our own hearts. That's what our new podcast is all about.

This first episode is published here on the Tell Me More podcast feed. To subscribe to future episodes, find, "Parenting - a Southland.Church podcast" on your favorite podcast platform, or listen on our website at https://southland.church/podcasts

Episode 1: Parenting Begins in Our Hearts

The most influential thing on the hearts of our children—for good or for bad—is the state of our own hearts and what comes out of us.

We have all been influenced by our own individual experiences growing up. Some of us only had one parent around. Some of us didn't have a strong faith component in our lives growing up—no map to guide us on what to do. Some of us may have grown up in a family where faith was a key part of daily life, but maybe we never had that personal relationship with the Father.

Our hosts for this podcast have been in some of those places, and we'll discuss how getting our own hearts right with God is the first and most important step we can take as parents.

On this festive episode of Tell Me More, join our hosts as they talk about Christmas traditions, some of their favorite ways to celebrate, and dig into the importance of keeping our eyes focused on Jesus during what can sometimes be a chaotic time of year.

In this episode of Tell Me More, you'll hear from Jess, Lydia, and Sarah as they talk about the importance of reading the Bible, what daily rhythms and disciplines they exercise, and how to get started if you're just not sure where to begin. While a devotional or faith-based book is a wonderful resource, it is a poor substitute for time spent reading God's Word. We'll also talk about some helpful resources to get you started or to add to the rhythms you already have in place.
