Cultivating Kingdom At Home Candice Shaw

Today I'm blessed to be speaking with my friend Rachel McInnes (wife and mother of 4) about raising kids to be financially literate and competent in a debt driven world. We discuss our upbringings and skills and values we've learnt and also fresh revelation we've received from the New Testament around giving and generosity. Join us as we discuss both biblical principles and practical tips to instil these values into your family and children.

This episode is a little different, I wanted to share with you two prophetic dreams the Lord gave me last year. Whilst these dreams were warning dreams, the Lord gave insight and strategies within these dreams. I have had the opportunity to process these dreams with some friends and believe they will bring encouragement and strategy to mothers and fathers in 2024.

I also shared a typed out (more brief) version of this on Lana Vawser's Zion's Company of Mother's blog: https://zionscompanyofwomen.com/teach-your-children/

Today I am chatting with Lana Vawser all about cultivating intimacy with the Lord in the midst of motherhood. Lana juggles being a wife, mother, minister whilst homeschooling her children. We discuss the challenges that can come from different seasons of motherhood, longing for the simplicity of previous seasons and learning to look for Jesus everywhere in our life. Lana shares some practical and hands on ways to cultivate and protect our relationship with the Lord whilst serving our family.

Today I have the privilege of speaking with my friend Lixie who currently lives in Missouri, USA. Lixie shares about how the Lord put adoption on her heart from a young age and the challenges and miracles that took place to see a successful adoption.

Today I am chatting with my good friend Rachel Harrison, from Bendigo, Victoria. Rachel and her husband Jason oversee New Nature Church along with their two children.
