The Life Foursquare Podcast

Addiction is something that hits each one of our lives - whether we have walked through it ourselves or if know someone currently walking through it. Today, we sit down with Matt Layton to hear his story from addiction to freedom.

Today we sit down and talk about life balance. We live a very fast-paced world and it's easy to get to the place of overwork and exhaustion. When we operate from this place, we're miserable. We thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about how we intentionally create balance and rest in our lives.

Step-parenting is becoming more and more common in families all over the world. One of the biggest struggles in this transition is that many step-parents jump in with no context or help. So today, we sit down with Lewis and Erin to hear about their journey and hopefully provide some help for other parents who find themselves walking through this season.

Today we sit down with Nichole and Joe to talk about their experience with fostering. There is a huge need for people like the Watkins family to step up and provide care for children in need of safety and security. We talk about their experience, hurdles, and encouragements for other people who might be considering fostering.

Connecting with other people has always been a super important part of discipleship and overall life. But for many of us, it's become a supplement or bonus instead of a necessity. Today Mitchell and Abby walk us through what works for them and how we can all begin to live more connected lives.

As we kickoff the new season of Real Life, we are joined by Mellisa Stacey and Janelle McCollum to talk about their perspectives surrounding education. Obviously it's been a difficult season for all educators, so today we sit down and discuss some of the triumphs and struggles. We also take time to talk about some of the ways that we can all support our local educators.

Join us as we begin a new topic this week: Parenting in a Pandemic! In this season, parents from all sorts of different contexts have found themselves asking about parenting, children, and all things in between. What are some issues with parenting in the midst of a pandemic? What are some of the struggles? How do we know if we're doing a good job?

In the coming weeks we will be addressing these concerns as we have a very real conversation about Parenting in a Pandemic!

This week we have a great opportunity to sit down and have a discussion with several church leaders on the topic of Racism. We are joined by Pastor David Ndembe, Pastor Jameson Wheeler, and Jared Gregory who each provide great insight and conversation as it pertains to racism in our culture today.

As always, let us know your thoughts on today's episode!
