No Higher Calling Brettnay Brazzell

- Kids & Family
The Lord has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and Mama to my littles. I still have so much to learn, but as I continue to grow, it is my desire to share the truths God is teaching me.

What If I Don't Feel Saved?
"Salvation is more than a past experience. It is a present possession." -Clarence Sexton
John writes that we can KNOW that we have eternal life, yet for many of us, we doubt our eternal security. Doubt is a real part of my story. For many years, I struggled with placing my full faith and trust in Christ for my soul's salvation. Fear clouded my understanding of Scripture. Praise the Lord for the victory He gave me in this area!
On this episode, I share my salvation story and how God brought me from a place of doubt to a place of complete assurance in my eternal security.

NHC Family~ Couples of the Bible: Ahab & Jezebel
Scripture records many people that we can look up to and desire to model our lives after. But it also records thel lives of people who we want to be nothing like! Ahab and Jezebel are a couple that we can learn from as we see their negative example.
What can we learn from this wicked couple?
-You reap what you sow, and you reap more than you sow
-Spouses enabling wickness instead of encouraging in righteousness
-Staying close to God individually and as a couple so you don't miss His still, small voice

Preventative Parenting with Denise Palmer
One of the challenging parts of parenting is discipline. This has gotten a negative rap in modern parenting, but God's Word has a lot to say about discpline. This even goes beyond the parent/child relationship, and has impact on our entire lives. Discipline is simply learning to obey God and walking in the way we should go according to His Word.
There are three aspects to discipline- preventative, corrective, and redemptive. Denise Palmer, my spiritual mentor, joins me to encourage mothers in the aspect of preventative discipline.
We discuss. . .
-The importance of training your children proactively
-The heart work that takes place in parenting and discpline
-Practical advice on how to set children up for success in obedience
-The different between "gentle parenting" and biblical parenting

Judges 21:25
Proverbs 21:2

NHC Family~ Habits of Home: Chores & Life Skills
In 2015, The Wall Street Journal did a survey recording that while 82% of people parenting today did chores growing up, only 28% of those parents were requiring their children to do chores today. Why the significant decrease? Is it important for our children to do chores? Simeon joins me as we discuss how chores help children learn life skills, how to work together as a team, and how to grow in responsibility.
Danelle Fisher, M.D., pediatrician and vice chair of pediatrics at Providence Saint John's Heath Center in Santa Monica, California, says, "When you break chores down, they are activities of daily living. You as an adult need to tend to yourself, your home, and your family. It teaches you that responsiblity as a child, that things don't just come to you, but you have to work for it."
Sometimes we think that work is a part of man's sin curse, but that is not true! God created man to work! He designed for every person, old and young, to get great satisfaction from a job well done. We can help our children understand this as we include them in the habits of home.
