    Parenting Practicals--Anxiety with Julia Crickenberger

    Did you know that sometimes behaviors we see as wrong, or out of control, or mean, are actually anxiety in disguise? This is something that we are learning in my house and it has changed the way I think about those behaviors and my responses. Julia Crickenberger joins me today to talk about what anxiety is, what is can look like, and ways we can respond. She offers a grace-filled way of caring for our children, and for ourselves, when anxiety shows up. Julia is a Christian Counselor trained through the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF) and parent coach trained through Connected Families. She specialises in helping adults with anxiety and OCD, and helping parents with sensitive and intense kids. She counsels and coaches people from all over via telahealth through https://cedarcovecare.org. She also meets with people locally in Myrtle Beach, SC through https://www.theoakscounselinggroup.com." I am a Connected Families certified parent coach offering small groups for moms, individual parent coaching, and workshops.

  2. Moms in the Bible--Mary with Stephanie Geisler

    Moms in the Bible--Mary with Stephanie Geisler

    Mary had the incredible privilege of birthing and raising the Son of God. And she also had the incredible pain that came with that, watching her son suffer and even die. As mamas, we all want to protect our children and shield them from suffering, but what if in doing so, we are shielding them from blessings and purposes that the Lord has for them? Stephanie Geisler joins me today to discuss how Mary's example has challenged her in this area of mothering. She shares how our desire for our children to follow God means allowing them to suffer for his sake and holding onto trust that God will use it for his good purpose. Stephanie Geisler serves as the women's director at Harvest Bible Chapel.  She has a degree in psychology and worship leadership, with a master's in counseling. Prior to coming to Harvest, She has served in several different areas, including student ministry, worship ministry, and private practice counseling before God led her to women's ministry. Her heart is for the local church and women worshipping God in spirit and truth. For fun, she enjoys traveling, singing, and being with friends. She is married to Larry Geisler, not related to Norm, and welcomed her baby Ryan in August.  I am a Connected Families certified parent coach offering small groups for moms, individual parent coaching, and workshops.

    Parenting in Scripture--Sharing Our Truths

    We talk a lot on Moms Take Ten about identifying our toxic beliefs, as Connected Families calls them, and replacing them with grace-filled truths. But that takes work, doesn't it? How can we bring those truths into our every day moments more and more so they become deeply rooted in us? One suggestion that Connected Families gives is to share those truths with our children. That sounds good, but I've found it isn't the easiest thing for me to do. Listen in as I share three hang-ups I have identified for while that is challenging and some biblical perspective on how we can overcome those hang-ups. Scripture Referenced: 2 Corinthians 10:5 Psalms 66:16 Deuteronomy 6:6-7 1 Thessalonians 2:8 For simple conversations starters for spiritual conversations with kids, check out this instagram post.

    Foster Care and Adoption with Emma Benedict

    Do you remember the moment you first felt the tug towards foster care? My guest today, Emma Benedict, remembers sitting at church as her pastor, a foster dad himself, shared of the need. From her initial thought of, "I think I can do something" to saying yes to fostering a little boy, Emma is discovering the good that God has for her as she follows his leading. And not just for her, but for her whole family as well. Emma Benedict is a ministry wife, homeschooling mom of 3, lover of Jesus, lifter of heavy things, and fizzy drink enthusiast.

    Parenting in Scripture--We All Need Jesus

    Have you ever found yourself yelling, "Stop yelling at each other!" or responding to your child's snarky comment with some snarkiness of your own? I know that I have. Sometimes I stand there wondering who is more the child, them or me! Paul's words to the Jewish believers in Romans 2 really challenged me in this--to beware of the trap of judgement, but also to remember that we are all in need of Jesus. Our kids as well as ourselves. And because of that shared need, we can respond to and even correct our children with humility and grace. Verses Referenced: Romans 2:17-24 Romans 3:22-24 Colossians 3:12 Matthew 7:3 Romans 5:6-8 Romans 8:32 Romans 4:7-8 Episode Recommendation: Parenting Practicals--Our God Image with Tara Prevo I am a Connected Families certified parent coach offering small groups for moms, individual parent coaching, and workshops.

    Foster Care and Adoption with Molly Duble

    It's an amazing thing to be able to look back over years of waiting and grief and struggle and say that it was all leading somewhere good. My guest, Molly Duble, testifies to that in today's episode as she shares her journey to adopting her two girls. There's still pain. There's still struggle. But given the choice, she'd go back and say yes all over again.  This episode is part of Moms Take Ten's Foster and Adoption Series that comes out the first Monday of each month.
