    Parent Talk: Guest Lynn Cowell, Raising Magnetic Teens

    Parent Talk: Raising Magnetic Teens Lynn Cowell is a columnist here at Choose NOW Ministries and a long-time friend of Parent Talk. She's a speaker with Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of His Revolutionary Love: Jesus’ Radical Pursuit of You. Lynn speaks to young women nationwide about the radical love of Jesus Christ and how to build an inner confidence that leads to smart choices. Lynn and her husband, Greg, have been married for over twenty-five years and are the parents of three.   Do your teens ever wonder… What does he have that I haven’t got? Why doesn’t he ask me out? What makes her popular? Why not me? We need to help them ask different questions so they can find the right answers. We can show them how to ask: What does it take to become magnetic? In this episode of Parent Talk, guest Lynn Cowell and I (host, Nicole O'Dell) talk about how parents can help teens move beyond negative thoughts, capricious emotions, and others’ opinions as they gain unshakeable confidence. We'll look at how to limit the draining affect of drama so our teens can invest time in personal growth. And parents can help teens replace the agonizing frustration of wanting to be noticed and liked with a deep assurance that they already are. Parents, we can help our teens live out nine amazing characteristics—known as the fruit of the Spirit—so they can not only cultivate an inner and outer beauty, but also hold an irresistible appeal for godly relationships as they become the magnetic young person God created them to be. ***Parent Talk is part of the Choose NOW Radio network, a division of Choose NOW Ministries.

    Parent Talk: Guest Vicki Tiede, The Porn Invasion

    The Porn Invasion is a three-part Choose NOW Ministries blog series by Vicki Tiede and a Parent Talk podcast episode with guest Vicki Tiede and host Nicole O'Dell. The Porn Invasion Part One: Oh, be careful little eyes what you see.  Let’s just, for a moment, peek behind a door that you might prefer to keep closed. Regardless of how great a parent you are or how careful you’ve been about raising your children in the church, the fact of the matter is porn has a pervasive Internet presence and tempts even the best kids. The Porn Invasion Part Two: Is your child viewing pornography? Now what? Before you overreact, you need to find out if this was your child’s first exposure. If it was, then have a frank discussion, move the computer, and get some filtering software on your computers, notebooks, Smartphones, etc. – STAT! (See my recommendations in the article.) If you’re pretty certain this is not a first-time exposure, then it’s time to have a very frank conversation with your son/daughter. Be prepared; you will most likely face resistance. Whether or not you’ve had conversations about porn in the past, most kids won’t stand before a parent and say they think looking at porn is a good idea. In their gut, they know it’s wrong and depending on what they’ve watched … very wrong! So in all likelihood, they are going to deny their use and vehemently deny that they have a problem. The Porn Invasion Part Three: What should we tell the kids about our porn invasion? That's an obvious question to ask if pornography has invaded your home and is tearing apart your marriage. Here’s a hard fact that’s difficult to swallow: according to a survey*, in 67% of cases in which one parent was acting out sexually (pornography, adultery, etc.), the children knew before there was an official disclosure.

    Parent Talk: Guest Brenda Yoder, Raising Middle Schoolers

    Parent Talk with guest Brenda Yoder. When middle schoolers ask for your time, you have to take the opportunity. It may mean getting home at 1:30 in the morning and having a mom-hangover the next day, but these moments are few and far between.  Where can you spend time with your middle-school child so you can have some unexpected conversations, laughs and God-moments? If your young teen asks for time with you – any time – what can you sacrifice so you can build memories and bond with them? You won’t regret it. It was the busiest week we’d had in a long time. National Honor Society induction, Sports Awards Banquet, driver’s license exam, semi-state basketball championship, a parenting class we were teaching, and a large retreat I was speaking at and organizing in our community were on the agenda for the week. There wasn’t one night open and I was already exhausted. ...read more or tune in to the podcast. ***Parent Talk is part of the Choose NOW Radio network, a division of Choose NOW Ministries.

    Parent Talk: Guest Shannon Deitz, Which is more important, the kids or the marriage?

    From Shannon Deitz’s recent post: A question has come to mind lately within my home and that is, ‘Which is more important, the marriage or the kids?’ Within the bible verses that discuss the importance of marriage and family I find the focus to be on the husband and the wife. Genesis 2:24 proclaims, ‘The man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife…’   and Ephesians 5:22, ‘Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord,’ and in Ephesians 5:23, ‘the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church…’  read more… You can read more about what Shannon has to say on the topic of putting your marriage first or your kids first, or you can tune in to Parent Talk where we talked about it live. SHANNON DEITZ Shannon Deitz's work with teens led to a full-time youth ministry. Within the next four years, that ministry bloomed, allowing her to witness God’s amazing work in her church and her life. Having spread the message of God’s amazing love to thousands of teens, she eventually felt called to broaden the sphere of those with whom she shared her personal story. Shannon wrote Exposed: Inexcusable Me…Irreplaceable Him (Believers Press 2010) as a way of offering encouragement and hope to both teens and adults suffering from physical and emotional abuse.

    Parent Talk: Guest William Sirls, The Sinner's Garden

    Over the course of his life, William Sirls has experienced both great highs and tremendous lows--some born of chance, some born of choice. Once a senior vice president at a major investment firm, he was incarcerated in 2007 for wire fraud and money laundering, where he learned a great deal more than he ever bargained for. Life lessons involving faith, grace, patience, and forgiveness are evident in his writing. He is the father of two and makes his home in southern Michigan. Visit his site at: www.williamsirls.com   In the small Lake Erie township of Benning, someone is at work cultivating a supernatural garden … Andy Kemp’s young life has been as ravaged as his scarred face. Disfigured by an abusive father, the teenager hides behind his books and an impenetrable wall of cynicism and anger. As Andy’s mother struggles to reconnect with him, his Uncle Rip returns transformed from a stint in prison and wants to be a mentor to the reclusive boy, doing everything he can to help end Andy’s pain. When Andy begins hearing strange music through his iPod and making near-prophetic announcements, Rip is convinced that what Andy is hearing is the voice of God. Elsewhere, police officer Heather Gerisch responds to a late-night breaking and entering in one of the poorest homes in town. She soon realizes that the masked prowler has left thousands of dollars in gift cards from a local grocery store. As the bizarre break-ins continue and Heather pursues the elusive “Summer Santa,” Andy and Rip discover an enormous and well-kept garden of wildflowers that seems to have grown overnight at an abandoned steel mill. Soon, they realize who the gardener is, and a spree of miracles transfigures this small town from a place of hopelessness into a place of healing and beauty.   ***Parent Talk is part of the Choose NOW Radio network, a division of Choose NOW Ministries.
