    Looking to God #1 | Supporting our Children’s Mental Wellbeing

    This is us with the fireworks, the big scissors cutting the ribbon and even a dramatic spray of champagne. This is us kicking off a big new series on mental wellbeing. We have listened, we've been busy and here we are with the topic that we know you want from us. Let's look to God together as we learn how he does mental wellbeing from the Psalms. This generation of children are waiting for us to bring God's care to their distress and fears. We went to get you ready for that journey. Ed walks us through the tears at bed time while Amy goes off-road, showing us how to do godly mental wellbeing on her mountain bike.  Let's release the 🐬🐬🐬! Let's learn how to help our children's wellbeing - ahead lies gratitude, resilience and comfort in the difficulty. Looking to God: Mental Wellbeing in the Psalms  Support the show

    Fatherhood as a Stepdad with Joe Tossell

    What does fatherhood look like as a stepdad?  In this honest and encouraging conversation, Joe shares his family’s story — from building trust and “credit in the bank” with your child, to choosing your battles wisely, being courageous, and finding security in knowing the battle is already won because of Jesus.  He also reflects on how church community has helped strengthen family life.  A thoughtful listen for every parent and step-parent.

    Talking to Children About... #4 | Poverty & Injustice with Guest Stewart McCulloch

    Let Stewart talk you into the light of God's love for all, whether they have lots of money or very little. He has stories to help us to get to grips with how different God's Kingdom is from our world. Join the adventure as Stewart tells us the joy he found in a Rwandan home, the contentment of his childhood (with very little money) and the heroes who are breaking free of their debt.  Stewart McCulloch leads Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and he is passionate to help us talk about poverty, injustice and the stories of the many who are living it. A third of the UK are severely stressed about their finances and 4 million of our children are living in poverty. As a special bonus, hear about the origin of the grand old Duke of York's march up a hill! We are here to make your difficult conversations a little easier and this one is another belter!  At CAP, Stewart champions a collective, church-based movement, a clear response to the UK's deepening poverty crisis. This combines with his personal passion to free people from debt and see transformed lives as a result. Previously, he headed an international insurance business before moving to Christian charities like World Vision and Stewardship, as part of his wish to integrate his faith and work.

    Talking to Children About... #3 | Illness Part 2 with Guest Anika Lillicrap

    Amy and Ed return to talking about illness.  This time they have found an expert to bring the help.  Anika helps us to walk a child through the fear and the confusion, when they can't explain it and they can't understand it. Anika tells us how to do it with playdoh. Amy tells us she's done it with pictures of bridges and lying in wet grass. Ed admits that he always knew the answer didn't lie in a book. And you'll never guess- it's all about the parents, the church and Jesus as he walks with us through the valley of the shadow of death. Anika lives in Cambridge with her husband Matt, their six children and lively chocolate labrador. She works as a pastoral counsellor and tutors for Biblical Counselling UK. Having previously worked as a doctor she is now training in child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counselling. In her spare time she likes to crochet or write poetry. Anika has written a book about Easter for children How can they call it good?  and a video version of it can be found here.   Some songs to listen to   Yet not I but through Christ in me  Tumbling skies - An album of Psalms for weary souls  Some books for children  Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen? by Chris Morphew  The Moon is Always Round by Jonathan Gibson  Support the show

    Talking to Children About... #2 | Abortion with Guest Dawn McAvoy

    This is the second episode in our Faith in Parents series on talking through the hardest topics – the conversations we’re often told to avoid. In this episode, Ed and Amy are joined by Dawn McAvoy (Both Lives) to talk about the value of life, pregnancy and abortion.  Their conversation covers questions such as:  •How can we talk about the value of life with our youngest children? •How do we talk to our children about abortion appropriately and carefully? •How do we do it in a way that reflects the goodness, compassion, and hope of the Christian story?   This episode helps parents see that talking about abortion doesn’t begin with arguments or politics, but with wonder relationship and community. It will encourage parents that we have a story that is better and more hopeful than the stories our children will hear elsewhere. Dawn McAvoy leads Both Lives, a UK wide initiative of the Evangelical Alliance. Both Lives advocates for both lives; every woman and every unborn in pregnancy. Both Lives champions laws that protect, services that enable and a culture that affirms women and children pre and post birth.  bothlives.co.uk Support the show
