How can we balance work, activities outside the home and service to others while also being tuned into the hearts of our kids? How does the Lord use his word to guide us in our role as parents? As our children began to marry, is there a process in learning to let them go….how do we navigate through this or better yet, how does the Lord lead us? They also have a specific word for those walking through infertility and the new mom out there who may feel overwhelmed.

On today’s episode, I am chatting with Bill and Pam Mutz, parents of 12 and grandparents of 27. We dive into life, marriage and raising children with a focus on becoming “difference makers” for the sake of the gospel. This conversation is packed with rich gospel truth and encouragement, practical ways to bring the gospel into our homes and parenting, lots of laughter and even tears as we witness how the Lord can and does work in our hearts.

Today's episode is focusing on the empty nest years and how God can work and use this season of our lives for continued eternal impact. How does the Lord prepare us prior to “officially” entering these years? How can we know what he would have for us? What about the concerns we hear voiced such as becoming "reacquainted with our spouse" or feeling like we have lost our “purpose” with our children gone? For those of us with kids still in the home, how can we set up safeguards in these areas of understandable concern? How might this season allow us to embrace the call of mentorship found in Titus 2 and 2 Timothy 2?

How we can recognize opportunities to present and keep the gospel in front of our children…where do we start in even knowing how to do this? We are also talking about hard days: how do we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, to not only parent but to do it with His joy and ability? How can we take the truths of scripture and fully stand upon God’s promises of not leaving us and finishing the work he has begun in us? Please join us as laughter, transparency, but most of all gospel-hope and truths are woven throughout this episode!

We are picking back up on our conversation with Reggie and Teana Weems on the topic of fear. While we are talking on fear, we are also exploring the challenge to live boldly in these COVID 19 days. They are sharing their hearts on marriage, parenting, and to rise up in the call of mentoring. “The greatest investment a couple can make in the lives of their family is….” join in to hear how Reggie finishes his statement on profound and impactful living.
