I am chatting today with my friend Andrea and her friend Jessica about the topic of prodigals.

How can we walk through tough seasons with our kids? How can we remain anchored when it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under our feet? What does this look like on a day-to-day basis? How can we find people we can trust and confide in?

Parenting can be one of the most humbling adventures we walk in life, can’t it? Each family is different, as is each child. I am hopeful that this conversation will encourage each of us, no matter where we are in our relationships with our kids. I recognize there are listeners out there who are still praying over their prodigal children and have yet to see any signs of repentance…while Andrea and Jessica’s story may be a little different than the one you are currently walking, I am praying that the Lord would use their words and biblical counsel to bring encouragement in your heart to keep your eyes on him.

We are not going to go into great detail, but just want to let you know that some of today’s content may not be suitable for younger children.

I am excited about how the Lord will meet each of us in today’s episode…thanks for joining in!

I am chatting with Caleb Bazyler and Cortlyn Holdren, both 3rd-year medical students, about “even our shorter seasons”. Sometimes it can be easy to reason away the importance of shorter seasons of life or just get so focused on the “what’s next” but as we read throughout scripture, God has purpose in all of our days. We are going to dive deeper into how we can view these from His perspective, love others well, and seek His agenda for today.

How can we look at our shorter seasons differently than with just a “get through” mentality? How can we learn to embrace what God has in today and not just fixate on the future? How can we love others well while also having our ears open for gospel opportunities? How can we walk into gospel conversations without being intimidated?

We are continuing in our series “on mission”…strategically evaluating how every facet of our lives can be used for kingdom purposes and gospel opportunities for His glory.
