On This Week's Episode:

Thanks to Anna D. for sending in our discussion topic for this week. Seriously, thank you! 



So what is this week about? We’re discussing the article “Is ‘Gentle Parenting’ Biblical?” from The Gospel Coalition, written by Bernard N. Howard. You can find the original article here: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/gentle-parenting-biblical/



And as we dug into this, it’s a very valid discussion full of intricacies leading to another question. Is this even the right question we should be asking? Don’t be fooled. This idea may be trending on TikTok and social media but this question may be missing the mark. Dive in with us as we discuss “Gentle Parenting” and how our approach to parenting can form us (and our kids) more or less like Christ. 



BY THE WAY: You can suggest a topic too! Visit our website or tag us on social media if there’s ever something you’d like for us to dive into. We read every note and are so encouraged when you reach out.

In this episode, Phil Snyder and Kristin Barnett from Neighborly discuss the challenges and rewards of serving refugee communities. We explore how believers can overcome discomfort and language barriers to love and serve their neighbors, and how serving refugees can reorient our priorities and shape our spiritual growth. We also discuss the importance of involving families in refugee ministry and provide practical tips for getting started. Our prayer is that this conversation is both inspiring and encouraging to you, wherever you are.

About Neighborly: 

Neighborly is a relationship-based poverty relief organization advocating for biblical justice. We provide ways for our supporters to feed, tell, heal, shelter, welcome, and clothe their neighbors.



We not only fight poverty, we dismantle the systems that produce and perpetuate it. At times, we give a fish. Sometimes, we teach how to fish. But we're always asking why there is a darn fence around the pond, who put it there, and why they are charging more for a fishing license for people who need it the most.

On This Week's Episode:

As you can likely guess from the title, today we’re going to engage in a conversation that, frankly, we’ve been nervous to have. And that’s discussing “how are we formed by the news?” 



Because even the decision on who to have as a guest for this conversation is a choice that says a lot. We’ve been praying and believe that our guest, Kelsey Reed, is a great person to wade into this conversation with. You see, she calls herself a professional learner and after having this conversation, she may be one of the most thoughtful people we’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with. The way she thinks and weighs her words should challenge all of us to do the same.
