141. Should We Be Letting Our Kids Listen to Taylor Swift as Believers?

I am not a Swiftie by any means, in fact, I only recently listened to Taylor Swifts latest album for research purposes. 
But I felt a stirring in my spirit to answer this question - Should we be okay with our kids listening to Taylor Swift as believers?
In this episode, we look a some of the more controversial lyrics from Taylor's recent album and I share my thoughts on whether you should be okay with this as a Christian Mama. 
Hear me, I am not out to tell you what you should and shouldn't be doing. That's not my heart. I want you to think about this and take it to the Lord if you are unsure of where you stand.
I pray this episode blesses you and maybe challenges you a teensy bit.

140. The Art of Being Still and How it Can Help You Point Your Kids to Jesus (Part5/5)

Mama, the art of getting still in the busyness of life is somewhat foreign to a lot of us.
But I think taking the time to get still with God, and fixing our eyes on Him is something that can only be good.
In this episode, I share how I practice stillness in 2 minutes each day, and how it can help you point your kids to Jesus.
This is part 5 of a 5 part series where we are learning to cultivate 5 habits that will help point our kids to Jesus.

139. The Habit of Spending Time With God and How It Will Help You Point Your Kids to Jesus (Part 4/5)

Mama, in order to point our kids to something, we need to know what that something is. 
Here at Mama's Mission, our aim is to point our kids to Jesus. So as Mama's we need to be spending time with Him.
In this episode I unpack what my time with God looks like. I don't want you to think that yours needs to look like mine, but I share it to help you. 
Your time with God should be YOURS. However, I do share a couple of non- negotiables I have with spending time with the Lord. 
I pray this episode inspires you on your journey to pointing your kids to Jesus.
Much love,

138. 5 Ways to Teach Your Kids How to Easily Memorize Scripture (Part 3/5)

Mama's you have let me know that teaching your kids is something you want a hand with. We all know that it's something we should strive to do as mama's, but sometimes knowing is easier than doing. 
In this episode I share how we memorize scripture in our home in 5 easy steps. 
Seriously Mama, if you are super unsure on where to start, this is the episode that will give you clarity and hopefully help launch you into teaching your kids how to memorize scripture like a pro.
It's not as hard as you may think and takes only a few minutes a day. And did I mention there is minimal prep. 
Basically, you have no excuses Mama. (Sorry, not sorry hehe).
I pray this blesses you!

137. How to show your Kids Jesus Consistently with the Habit of Appreciation (Part 2/5)

Hey Mama,
We are heading into part 2 of our 5 part series on how to show your kids Jesus consistently with 5 simple habits.
In this episode we are unpacking the A of our SALTY acronym which is appreciation. I share examples on how practicing an attitude of gratitude has changed things in my life and we look at God and His thoughts on the matter.
Practicing gratitude is something you can do aloud or in written form, but it changes things and helps us take our eyes off what we don't have and onto Him. 
I pray this episode encourages you.

136. Let's Consistently Point Our Kids to Jesus With 5 Simple Habits (Part 1/5)

Mama, I have been inspired to do a discipleship version of 75 Hard. 
75 Hard is just that, 75 days of Hard Stuff to make you a better version of yourself.
Ours is not going to be for 75 days, and it is not going to be hard.
But it will help us on our journey in pointing our kids to Jesus.
In this episode, I unpack the programme that is easy (and free) and the first habit that we are gonna put into practice.
My heart is that you take this habit, implement it so that it becomes part of your everyday.
I can't wait for you to join me in this!

135. How the Book of Daniel has Inspired Me in My Journey of Pointing my Kids to Jesus

Hey Mama,
I’ve recently deep dived into the book of Daniel and I found some gold. Especially on how I can point my kids to Jesus in a better way. He’s inspiring and we as Mama’s can learn a lot from him.
In this episode I share 5 tips on how Daniel has impacted on the way I disciple my kids.
I pray that this episode inspires you to take one (or all) of the tips I mention and implement them into your parenting journey.
Or, that it inspires you to open the book of Daniel and soak up all the 12 chapters have to offer.
Heck, I pray that you do both of these things.
Thanks for listening Mama and coming along for the journey of pointing our kids to Jesus.
Much love,
Deb

133. Is Reading Your Bible a Chore? How to Fall in Love with Reading Your Word

Hey Mama!
Is reading the word a chore for you? Is it something you know you should be reading, but you have no desire to do so?
Mama, I have been there! And I want to share in this episode how I fell in love with reading my bible. I share my journey where I barely opened my word, let alone had a desire to apply it, to where I now open it daily and soak it up.
My hearts desire is for you to be inspired to fall madly and deeply in love with reading your word. It may seem impossible, but if my stance has changed on the word, yours for sure can be.
Much love Mama.
