Show Notes

Welcome to episode 178! Work is essential for things like hand-eye coordination, a sense of self-esteem and belonging in children, and a core building block for future success. How do we build this habit, though, without destroying childhoods, derailing parent-child relationships, or raising children who hide when they see us coming for fear of being tasked with work. Jennifer takes you through the work and life of "Ma Moody" to discover keys to raising children who love work, who want to work with you, and building good habits without taking away from a child's childhood.

Welcome to episode 208 with Carl and Laura Lentz, the former pastors of Hillsong New York. Their story made headlines in 2020, but it was the beginning and not the end. The Lentzes' story is an incredible redemption arc of surrender, choosing wholehearted redemption, forgiveness, and returning Jesus to the center, rather than hiding in shame, reaction, or bitterness. In everything we do, Christ is the foundation: for our children, our communities, our lives, and the Kingdom of God. In an era of divorce and choosing personal happiness over the marriage covenant, this episode is an important reminder of healing and discovering the reward of a love that lasts.
