His Heartbeat with Sue Corl Crown of Beauty International

As a mother of five and a grandmother of fifteen,  author Karen Whiting has plenty of experience parenting.  Karen's goal is to help grow wholesome families who embrace their faith.  The Institute for Family Studies has concluded that shared prayer is the most powerful predictor of both relationship quality between family members and faith retention in children. Family devotional time exploring God's character together and making studying the Bible fun are ways to help your children learn to walk with the Lord.

For many families, the restriction of time in the midst of busy schedules makes intentional prayer time difficult. If you don't make an effort to connect your children with faith while they are young, it will be harder to assert faith as a priority as they get older and continue the habits they were initially instilled with.  Most importantly, if you establish a daily routine to walk out your faith for yourself,  you will personally demonstrate how to honor Jesus in the everyday mundane. The stronger your personal walk with God is, the deeper your children will understand the heart of God and His divine purpose for our life. As Karen suggests, these methods help your kids develop a true perspective of the Christian life, rather than a two-dimensional worldview. When our identity is rooted firmly in Him, the seed of faith a parent plants are eventually nurtured into trees, bearing much fruit.

Narcissism is defined as a psychological disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of grandiosity, arrogance and entitlement. Guest Dana Stuedemann warns us that these characteristics are more than mildly off-putting: they can cause immense suffering. 
 
Having experienced abuse in childhood, Dana found herself ill equipped to discern what a healthy romantic relationship should look like.  When she met her ex-husband, he promised her the love she had always so desperately desired. Though he said and did all the right things to attract Dana and gain her trust, he concealed his narcissistic tendencies. She found herself, again, in a marriage much like the situation of her childhood; where she was belittled, dismissed, and manipulated.

Dana emphasizes that not all narcissists are abusive, but when they are, the abuse is expansive: financial, physical, verbal, psychological and sexual. These tactics are evoked by the narcissist to avoid accountability at all costs, control their victim, and to control the narrative surrounding their public image. Because narcissists lack empathy, they casually gaslight their victim into questioning their very reality.  Narcissistic abuse is particularly insidious because these individuals are preoccupied with curating an aspirational public image. Victims then struggle to contend with the reality of the abuse they suffer at the hands of someone so highly regarded, let alone coming forward with allegations of the abuse! It may be difficult for those on the outside to accept that this person who presents themselves as charming and helpful could be capable of such wickedness. 
 
If you or a loved one are experiencing narcissistic abuse, seek help and refuge immediately. God has not intended for you to suffer at the hands of those that do not feel remorse.  Contrary to what the narcissist wants you to believe, you do not deserve any of the evil they commit against you. God desires fulfilling, healthy, and flourishing relationships to fill your cup and remind you of your divine worth.

Do you have trouble quieting your busy mind and establishing healthy sleep habits? Studies show that the average American does not get enough sleep.
Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a sleep specialist who grew up with a negative connotation around rest. Working all the time was the norm and expectation, which only grew more intense throughout med school and after having children. She became very anxious and her performance in all aspects of life declined significantly, when she had a sudden epiphany to begin setting boundaries with her responsibilities to prioritize rest. She experienced a major transformation in her life!

Sleep actually clears the wasteful deposits that build up in the brain that can cause Alzheimer's, heart attacks and strokes. Our executive function, metabolism, responsiveness, and even our ability to learn and create are dependent on our sleep habits!

Dr. Afolabi-Brown emphasizes that God Himself created rhythms of life. Jesus would step away to rest with His disciples to restore His energy. If the God of the universe rested, how much more do we need rest to reinvigorate ourselves? Establishing a bedtime routine that maximizes our sleep quality is imperative  for a healthy, fruitful life.

Humans are not simply biological creatures. We are holistically robust, and just as we were created to need water and air, we also have spiritual needs.
Pastor Cory Rosenke has a book called "The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the 5 Cravings of the Soul". Cory's theory asserts that these 5 cravings have been placed in us purposefully by God to ultimately draw us back to Him. The 5 cravings are: security, identity, independence, significance, and innocence. These cravings have propelled all of humanity throughout time. These cravings are deeper than biology and psychology, they pertain to the needs of the soul!

It is important to recognize that these cravings transcend what we see in the natural world; more often, what we may perceive to be a biological issue is actually a spiritual one. Your soul is the core of who you are, the attribute that best defines you even more than your brain and your body. All throughout scripture, the saints of old supplicated God on behalf of their souls. How do we break the lie that life is about our biological inclinations, and begin to live with God's perspective? 
We cannot live an extraordinary life when relying on anything outside of God to fulfill us. God is not merely the satisfier of our tangible needs and desires, He is the answer to all the existential questions our souls long to know.

Do you ever struggle with how to show support to a loved one in mourning? Today's guest Julie Lynn Ashley is a thanatologist: a specialist dedicated to better understanding death, grief, and loss. She offers us the practical do's and don'ts of supporting a bereaved person, and offers insight into the stages and types of grief.
We must learn to sit with someone in what Julie Lynn calls the "dissonant chord" of an unfixable situation. Grief cannot be fixed this side of heaven; rather, processed through.

Called from a young age, Julie Lynn is deeply passionate about coming alongside bereaved people experiencing loss. In the four to six weeks after the funeral, the deceased's loved ones are not only navigating shock, brain fog, and immense sadness, but are also tasked with an overwhelming load of administrative work. Showing up with the support of a meal, helping out around the house, or even a simple phone call can mean so much to the bereaved. Grief is not linear, so provide encouragement for each small step of life for the bereaved as they adjust to their new normal.
 
Even Jesus, all powerful and almighty, sat in the dissonant chord of death with Mary and Martha. He wept! Be brave and enter into the sadness with a grieving person. Grief is heavy, and to be the hands and feet of Christ means we as a community help carry that pain.

We spend so much time in school learning about geometry, world history and grammar. All these subjects are necessary and fascinating, but wouldn't it have been  immensely helpful to study the intricacies of interpersonal relationships?

Today's guest, relationship coach Cristie Cerniglia had to navigate through the fracturing of one of the most vital relationships in her life at a young age. Her parents, who seemed happy, suddenly divorced. Now in her own marriage, Cristie has learned how to relinquish control of others to express grace, compassion, avoid criticism and release resentment to yield healthy interactions with loved ones. 

Taking ownership of the way WE show up as individuals can impact our relationships--and our atmosphere--in a transformational way! Cristie encourages women to either take or make time to fill your cup every day so you can pour into others. Taking care of yourself also helps beget true care and intention to learn the love languages of those around us, so they can receive the love we give to its fullest extent.
