What were America's founders REALLY like?! Were they really misogynistic jerks who cared for no one but themselves? OR have we maybe gotten the story wrong?

What if they were GOOD men and women, doing their best, striving to live the truth they had and make a better world for coming generations?

What if modern history classes are DISTORTING the truth?!

I thought you might enjoy a bit of TRUTH and PATRIOTISM this 4th of July! PASS IT ON if these truths resonate with you!

When a woman sent in the question, "What can I do if my husband thinks that pornography isn't hurting him or me?" I knew my husband -- with a Marriage and Family Therapy degree, years of working with addicts, and himself a pornography addict--was the best one to answer! In this recording of a live Q&A, Blaine and I answer this question, along with advice for what young couples can do who are facing pornography issues.

Blaine shares several specific reasons WHY pornography does in fact hurt the user, giving examples of how it has hurt him and others. Together, we share our experiences and solutions with the hope that a clear understanding of the damaging nature of pornography will provide motivation and direction to those who struggle--and those who love them.

At The Mission Driven Mom, we are empowering moms with principles and purpose. We know that God in His wisdom created a world run by immutable natural laws. We know that true principles flow from these natural laws. And we know that principles are the answer to life's toughest problems.  Yet, when comes time to actually live those principles, the path can be not only overwhelming but incredibly painful. Who wants to exercise regularly? Who wants to save 10%? Who wants to keep forgiving their spouse?  Principles are hard--there's no doubt about it. We can't break them or we will reap the negative results in our lives. So what do we do when we really want to live principles but it seems virtually impossible?

'How do you do it? Teach me the techniques.' What they're really saying is, 'Give me some quick fix advice or solution that will relieve the pain in my own situation.'" ~Stephen R. Covey "We knew that social comparison motives were out of harmony with our deeper values and could lead to conditional love and eventually to our son's lessened sense of self-worth. So we determined to focus our efforts on us--not on our techniques, but on our deepest motives and our perception of him." ~Stephen R. Covey "The truth seldom is sweet: it is almost invariably bitter." ~Alexander Solzhenitsyn  "A sense of responsibility before God and society has fallen away." ~Alexander Solzhenitsyn "The sense of greatness is the groundwork of morals." ~Alfred North Whitehead "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." ~Proverbs 29:18 Books from this episode:     Podcast mentioned in this episode: Find "Intro to Principles" podcast series HERE

The more I learned about the history of the sexual revolution, the more I asked myself the question: "WHY?!" I get that people want to do whatever they want to do, but why do we keep pretending like ALL of the results of this revolution have been positive? And why do allow social norms to be loosened to the point of harm to us and future generations?

In the end, our children are going to pay the biggest price!

Join me as I go through the major events of the 20th and 21st century that led to where we are today, and give some insights as to WHY its being done, and WHAT we can do about it!

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one.” ~M. Scott Peck So often in life we face problems that bring feelings of overwhelm, confusion, frustration or anger. What do we choose to do when we feel these uncomfortable emotions? In this podcast you'll learn about four stay-at-home moms just like you. Women who are smart, pretty, and gifted. Women who love their children and what to be good moms. Unfortunately, though, when life got challenging, they chose to run away, rather than face their problems head-on. This habit of running away, chosen over and over again, created lives for them that were even worse than the original problems they ran away from.  In our modern, face-paced world there are countless escapes we can choose rather than searching for solutions, conquering our challenges and becoming the heroes of our own stories. Yet, feeling proud of who we are and the life we've lived is how we all want to feel. Join Audrey this week as she shares the stories of these moms who chose to run away and the disastrous effects for them and their families. Consider with her how even the seemingly innocent behaviors--reading, vacationing, watching TV, social media--can easily become distractions that keep us stuck. Then look closely at the truth about problems and how they can actually become great blessings--giving our lives real meaning and deep purpose.  Listener's Guide: Use the time stamps below to skip to any part of the podcast.  3:45        We are All Tempted to Run Away - Three Stories 4:26        Story One - Alice 9:08        Story Two - Felice 13:25       Story Three - Jennie Lee 17:32      Are You Running away With an Emotional distraction 21:32      Problems = Pain and Problem solving 23:51      A Helpful Way to think About Problems    28:13     A Final Message and Challenge 29:19     Tiffany - Facing Our Problems Quotes from this episode: “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” ~M. Scott Peck, M.D. “Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems. Without discipline, we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline, we can solve all problems.” ~M. Scott Peck, M.D. “What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration or grief or sadness or loneliness or guilt or regret or anger or fear or anxiety or anguish or despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us that we call them problems. And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. "Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit,

When God had to whittle down all His commandments to 10, it seems crazy that the Sabbath made it on the list. Scripture tells us He "rested" on the 7th day--but what did He actually do? What does that even mean?

And if God is love, how do the Sabbath, and rest, and reverence, relate to His (and our) ability to love?!

Join me as we explore insights that will (hopefully) inspire you to improve your life and your relationships through increasing your own rest!

“It was no more glorious or joyful to lead a rally than it was to bathe my children.” ~Phyllis Schlafly Phyllis Schlafly often said that women can have it all...just not at the same time. Her life exemplifies that truth. Driven, intelligent, kind-hearted and devout, Phyllis made the most of every season of her life.  First, as a young woman, she worked in a munitions factory while putting herself through college studying political science. Then as a married wife and mother, she set aside her personal aspirations to raise her six children full-time, support her husband, and serve faithfully in her community and church. Finally, as her children left home and the ERA movement heated up, she put her education and life experience behind the cause she knew would affect millions of women, mothers and families for decades to come. A woman who talked with kings and presidents, Phyllis always cited her children as her greatest accomplishment. Join Audrey this week as she discusses what life was really like with Phyllis Schlafly in this interview with her daughter Anne.

If you're a homemaker you work.” ~Phyllis Schlafly “You may believe that the person sitting next to you will not be saved but you're going to work together on this issue.” ~Phyllis Schlafly When asked if she always wanted a large family - “I came from a family with two children. My husband from a family with four. Those numbers are good, but if you are happy and having fun things just happen.” ~Phyllis Schlafly “Home is not a concentration camp. It is a sanctuary.” ~Anne Schlafly Cori “Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.” ~Phyllis Schlafly “The feminist movement taught women to see themselves as victims of an oppressive patriarchy...Self-imposed victimhood is not a recipe for happiness.” ~Phyllis Schlafly “It was no more glorious or joyful to lead a rally than it was to bathe my children.” ~Phyllis Schlafly Books from this episode:             Links from this episode:
