Celebrating Moms In A Hilarious Way! :: When A Private Conversation Becomes Public - Its OK to Laugh At Our Moms With Comedian Mike "Bowtie Comedy" Goodwin

All of the month of May, the Wise Idea Podcast and our host Christopher J Harris, has focused on Mom's, Motherhood and Mother's Day. This episode has a totally different spin and approach, as we welcomed Comedian and Funny Man Mike "Bowtie Comedy" Goodwin to the show. In a hilarious take on Moms and Motherhood, Harris and Goodwin share laughs, jabs, and jokes about moms in general, their families, and their funny observations about Mom's Today. Need a laugh? We talk about everything from Moms in heels at laundry mats to today's approach to discipline. This is definitely an episode you want to tune in to. Although Mother's Day has officially passed, we are still saluting all of the Mom's out there. Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there!

Living As A God-Centered Mom :: A Discussion About Parenting, Motherhood, and Life with Heather MacFadyen (God-Centered Moms) - Part 2

Focusing on Moms and Mother's Day, our host Christopher J Harris, welcomes Ms. Heather MacFadyen, host of the The God-Centered Mom Podcast (where Mom's can admit that they're not perfect!) and a mom of four sons for a Two-Part Conversation around her story, her growth as a mom, and what's learning as she leads thousands of mom's around the world. While the focus is on Moms, both Moms and Dads will benefit from hearing her story and insight. Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there! You can listen to Part 1 of the conversation here.

A Few Key Ideas:

Many parents make parenting about "me" instead of it being "God-centered" - Heather M.

"There is a difference between Child-centered and God-centered." - Heather M.

"When a child makes a mistake, our culture is looking for blame. Often that blame comes to the parents." - Heather M.

"Some of our children are more compliant in younger years and that may send us the wrong message as parents as they get older." - Heather M.

"The sin nature is present in all of us, including our children." - Heather M.

We shouldn't be shocked when our children rebel or misbehave. They are living out the same challenges that are in us...sin."

"Until our children receive Christ, we are loving unbelievers in our home...and this is our first mission field." - Heather M.

"Sometimes we expect Holy Spirit fruit when they don't have the Holy Spirit..." - Heather M.

"The parenting resources that our parents were handed may not work today..." - Heather M.

"Our culture use to go along with religion, now they don't." - Heather M.

"Our goal should not be for us to get ourselves right, but to surrender our not-rightness...and Jesus will get you right." - Heather M.

"We've gone from one end of the spectrum - more rules doesn't make our kids better and no rules doesn't make them more holy." - Heather M.

"Kids are your assignment. Working outside of the home doesn't negate that assignment." - Heather M.

"God can still work in our mistakes." - Heather M.

"You can have a horrible upbringing and God still use you to do incredible things." - Heather M.

"We can't take this load that we are fully responsible for everything that our kids do. In some ways God wants to develop their story that doesn't include us." - Heather M.

 

Parents - Are you happy, even if your kids aren't happy? Or are you co-dependent on your child's happiness to manage your own emotions?

Does technology impede on our lives and cause us to miss important moments?

Childless, Not By Choice :: A Discussion About Life, Infertility, Grief, and Unanswered Prayer with Civilla Morgan(pronounced Sa-Vil-La) - Part 2

In Part 2 of this transparent, humble, and strong interview, our host, Christopher J Harris, engages in a candid conversation of the subjects of infertility, grief and trauma, and unanswered prayers. Childless, Not By Choice is a platform and movement that was created by Ms Civilla Morgan, MSM, that is giving ladies (and men) a space to learn, grow, and adjust to life when there are infertility and child loss circumstances in their lives and marriages. This platform was born out of the real life struggle of Ms. Morgan. You can see more about her platform, podcast, and social media here: Childless, Not By Choice Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest | LinkedIn. You can also pick up a copy of her book, Down Again on Amazon. 

You can check out Part 1 of the Interview Here.

A Few Key Ideas:

A transparent, honest, and real testimony of a lady who had deep desires for marriage and children and hasn't be able to see that to become a personal reality. So, she did something about it.

The Story of Hannah

We "choose" how we respond to challenges in life.

Regardless of your faith, a critical question that we all have to answer - "Do we believe in the God that we say we believe in?"

Churches and Ministries should be very intentional in its approach of considering those who are childless or have experienced child loss, particularly around seasons like Mothers and Fathers Day.

God can handle your questions!

The Childless, Not By Choice is for both Men and Women.

Additional Notes From Part 1:

Unfortunately, some marriages are extremely challenged with infidelity issues. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Kind, But Firm Boundaries is necessary.

There are boundaries to your (in)fertility.

"There must be a battle to protect your __________." (You'll have to listen to the episode - :))

"___% of the people are just not aware." - C. Morgan

Those dealing with this reality must find a way to grieve and learn to deal with what the loss means to them.

For those who are Christians, you must decide if you're going to believe in the God you say you believe in.

Sometimes God says no. That no must be trusted.

We "choose" how we respond to challenges in life.

Regardless of your faith, a critical question that we all have to answer - "Do we believe in the God that we say we believe in?"

Churches and Ministries should be very intentional in its approach of considering those who are childless or have experienced child loss, particularly around seasons like Mothers and Fathers Day.

God can handle your questions!

The Childless, Not By Choice is for both Men and Women.

Additional Notes From Part 1:

Unfortunately, some marriages are extremely challenged with infidelity issues. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Kind, But Firm Boundaries is necessary.

There are boundaries to your (in)fertility.

"There must be a battle to protect your __________." (You'll have to listen to the episode - :))

"___% of the people are just not aware." - C. Morgan

Those dealing with this reality must find a way to grieve and learn to deal with what the loss means to them.

For those who are Christians, you must decide if you're going to believe in the God you say you believe in.

Sometimes God says no. That no must be trusted.
