    Episode 132: The Truth About the Prosperity Gospel and Parenting with Kate Bowler

    Episode 132: The Truth About the Prosperity Gospel and Parenting with Kate Bowler

    One of our favorite things about interviewing folks on this podcast is that we get to introduce you to some of our favorite voices…the ones we trust most. Well, this brilliant, hilarious, wonder of a woman likely needs no introduction to most of you. But, if you’ve been living under some kind of rock and have not yet met the delightful Kate Bowler we are thrilled for you to get to know her here.
    Kate is a professor at Duke University, hosts one of our very favorite podcasts, Everything Happens, is a 3x New York Times bestseller and someone we have been dreaming of getting to have on the Raising Boys and Girls podcast for years. And this conversation was everything we hoped it would be and more—we both were doubled over laughing and crying at different times listening to our new friend Kate share with such honesty and humility.

    Episode 130: How to Combat Anxiety by Being Kind to Yourself

    Episode 130: How to Combat Anxiety by Being Kind to Yourself

    Join us today for our final week with The Worry-Free Parent miniseries. After talking about Understanding the Past and Help for the Present, it’s time to talk about Hope for the Future. In this week’s episode, we not only talk about hope, but also about trust. We remind you to trust the process, trust your gut and most importantly, to trust God. We give practical ideas around what that trust looks like in action. And speaking of action, we want to remind you to grab a copy of The Worry-Free Parent Workbook. The workbook allows you to take all the learning to the next level.
    Keep learning. Keep practicing. You’ve got this.

    Episode 129: How Anxiety Impacts Your Body and Mind

    Episode 129: How Anxiety Impacts Your Body and Mind

    As we continue journeying through The Worry Free Parent content, we’ve moved from understanding to help. This week we talk through help for the mind, help for the body and help for the heart. You’ve heard us say before, and we will keep reminding you, that we can only take the kids we love as far as we’ve gone ourselves. If it’s difficult for us to quiet the voice of worry, and practice these game-changing skills ourselves, it will be hard for our kids to do the same. Practicing these skills allows kids to see it on the grown ups they trust the most. It also allows us to be more of the parents (and people) we hope to be.

So many commercials now

I get it we all have to make money but one 20 minute episode had 3 ad breaks…
I do enjoy the content and your wisdom.

5 Star Review - Dr. Tay

I love that this podcast is centered around understanding and providing practical strategies for families. It is such a great resource and so many topics for parents to explore. I love how the hosts are counselors who work with children and share their insights with their audience.
