149. Confession Time: How This Habit Hindered My Biblical Parenting and How I Intend to Change This

Confession time today Mama.
We all get it wrong sometime with this biblical parenting thing, and I had a revelation where I realised I was getting it wrong in a big way.
Basically, what was important to me in parenting (pointing my kids to Jesus) was not being reflected in my schedule and I discovered that I had a habit that was hindering me. 
Listen in on the habit I had that hindered me in my biblical parenting, and how I am changing things up.
I pray this encourages you Mama,

146. Enough Excuses Already! How to Parent with Purpose for Christian Parents by Creating Vision and a Plan

Mama, do you have a plan in your parenting journey? Don't worry, neither do I. But I think after hearing this episode, you might just change your mind. 
In this episode, I chatted with Amy Weichel from Faithful Parent. Amy shares how motherhood was overwhelming for her with 4 kids under 5. Her and her husband desired for their kids to know and love God, but their lives were so hectic, and they were unsure if they were parenting with this end goal in mind.
So, they changed things up. They were encouraged to create a plan for their parenting, and little by little they made changes and created a vision as a family. 
Now, life is a lot calmer and intentional with a greater focus on showing their kids Jesus.
Mama, I know you will be inspired by this episode.
Much love,
Deb

145. Unsure of What Matariki is and How we should Navigate it as Believers with Our Kids? Mama, You can Use the Matariki Holiday as a Way to Point Your Kids to Jesus!

Matariki is a holiday we have here in New Zealand to celebrate the Maori New Year. It is an event that causes confusion within the Christian community. Some ignore the holiday, some view it as demonic and some can use it as an opportunity to point their kids to Jesus.
In this episode, I unpack what the holiday is, how we should navigate it with our kids as believers and how we are going to use the holiday to point our kids to Jesus.
It's an awesome episode and can be relevant for others who have national holidays that cause confusion and how they should navigate it with their kids.
I pray this episode blesses you!

144. If You're Tired of Not Getting to Disciple Your Kids, It's Time to Start Creating Good Habits so you Can! with Amy Davis

In this episode, I had that privilege of chatting to Amy Davis from the podcast Generate Joy.
We unpack what habits are, why they matter, how we can make them and how they can bring us closer to God and help us disciple our kids.
Amy shares that the word habit used to be a trigger word for her. She thought it was restrictive and meant there would be no time for fun. But after implementing simple habits, she discovered the opposite. 
Habits created freedom in her day to do more of what she loved. They helped her in her relationship with God, and helped her point her kids to Jesus.
If you've been on the fence about implementing habits, this episode will totally shift your mindset.
I pray this episode blesses you as much as it did me!

143. The BEST Rhythm to Implement that Will Make You a Better Parent and Teacher of Jesus

Mama, what would you do if I told you that I had a rhythm you could implement today and be a better mum and point your kids to Jesus more effectively if you implemented it? I would think you would say what is it??? Spill already!
It’s simpler than you might think. The BEST rhythm I have implemented that has transformed my ability to parent and disciple is getting up before my kids.
This isn’t as hard as you think. In this episode, I unpack how I have started this rhythm and why it has changed my parenting and discipling journey for the better.
I pray that this episode blesses you and that you take the challenge to get up before your kids (even 5 minutes helps).
Much love
