    Episode 22: Parenting: What is Shaping Our Kids?

    We all know that our kids need to eat, sleep, play, take a bath, and brush their teeth - but even if we cover all of these bases, there is much more to raising a whole human from child to adult. We can sometimes view parenting as a gauntlet and any misstep will ruin our kids forever. But the truth is that kids are being formed largely by small moments, that tally into hours, days, and years. So how do we make the most of the time that we already have with our kids? Today we are learning to leverage distinctive opportunities to impact the future of our children.

    Episode 21: Parenting: Rhythms

    It’s June and we are here at the edge of summer - for parents with students in their homes, we’re looking at the end of a school year and the beginning of something new. Even if you’re not a student or don’t have kids, summer just feels different. Entering into a new season can energize us and motivate us to create new routines in our homes and in our lives. OR the thought of having to abandon the structure that comes with tardy bells and car rider lines makes us want to hide in the closet stress eating peanut m&ms. Wherever you are on this spectrum, today I get to have a conversation with someone who is here to help us see that a change of season doesn’t have to completely reshape our lives when we learn how to be intentional with the time we already have.

    Episode 20: Psalm 103

    Psalms is a place in scripture I turn to on a regular basis - whether I’ve reached the end of some bible reading plan and don't know where to go next or I’m looking for reminders of who God is or I need words to help me communicate what my heart can’t get up to my lips, Psalms is a deep well of truth that never runs dry. For the moment, I’m not ready to move into the next thing on the Practical Faith podcast, so we are going to turn together for a couple of weeks to Psalms. Today we listen to and meditate on Psalm 103.

    Episode 19: Spiritual Disciplines - Reflection

    We’ve spent eleven episodes moving through the topic of Spiritual Disciplines, exploring specific ways that we make space for God to shape us, and how to build these spiritual faith muscles through incorporating them into our everyday lives. And that’s what this podcast is for - we want to consciously build & live out our faith - remarkable, extraordinary faith - in everyday life. Our growth as a disciple cannot be solely dependent upon an hour of time within the walls of a church building on Sundays. Following Jesus is an every day, every moment, endeavor and this space serves as a way to give you tools to do that. Sometimes it’s a practice, an idea, a conversation. Today it’s a reflection as we wrap up this series on Spiritual Disciplines.

    Episode 18: Spiritual Disciplines - Remembrance

    Spiritual disciplines help to root us more deeply and also press us on in our following of Jesus. Walking in the way of Jesus instinctively feels like a forward kind of motion - a hand to the plow movement - and so it is. But what happens when you don’t know which way is forward or why you want to go that way at all? What do you do when fear holds your feet to the floor, when lies whisper that you shouldn’t trust the one you are following? In those moments, for me and maybe for you, the way to move forward is to look back. The spiritual discipline of remembrance may feel counterintuitive when you want to move on, but often it is the very thing that will bolster our faith and trust in God and keep us following the one who told us that he is the way.

    Episode 17: Spiritual Disciplines - Celebration

    It’s the week after Easter - Sunday was a world-wide day of rejoicing and celebration, remembering Jesus not only died to pay the penalty for our sins but that he was resurrected from the dead guaranteeing that sin nor death would not have the final word. We spend all day Saturday saying, “Sunday’s coming” - and it does! But then so does Monday. We go back to work. Yes, we are still finding easter eggs tucked in obscured hiding spots, heating up leftover ham for lunch, and eating Reese’s eggs…but the exuberance of Sunday somehow doesn’t make it into Monday. Maybe if we just pray a little harder, spend a little longer in our quiet time, turn up the volume on our worship music - that’ll make us feel the joy of yesterday again, right? Well, maybe. But maybe we need to learn a discipline that often feels like an extravagance: the spiritual discipline of celebration.

    Episode 16: Spiritual Disciplines - A Practice

    Hi friends. We’ve been going full speed through these Spiritual Disciplines episodes - 7 down and a few more to go as we approach Easter in just a few weeks. So, as a way to help you practice what we are learning here, today’s episode is designed to give you some space to meditate on scripture, pray, confess, and be silent in the presence of the Lord.

    Episode 15: Spiritual Disciplines - Silence & Solitude

    Our lives are accompanied by endless soundtrack of conversations, notifications, playlists, podcasts, radio stations, tv shows, movies, and messages. Getting away from or turning off this noise seems nearly impossible and may even make us uncomfortable. It is easy to see how silence and solitude can enhance our spiritual journeys and also how it takes discipline and intentional action to incorporate these disciplines into our lives. Today we talk about the benefits of these disciplines, how we can incorporate them into even the busiest of lives, and some ideas for how to use that space of silence and solitude.
