    The Pursuit of Faith-filled Parenting with Deb Weakly

    Sometimes, in the nitty gritty of parenting, we get so focused on what isn't happening, or we focus on our current "reality" rather than the promises of God. This can cause us to spiral into fear, control, panic, and reactionary decision-making. Our children are the actual sufferers when we allow this spiral to happen. What would happen if, instead, we started to step back in those moments and ask God to show us what he is doing or asked him for advice on how to deal with or respond to a learning struggle, a child with hard-to-manage emotions, or any one of the plethora of problems that come up in life? What if we learned to tune in and attach to our children  The wonderful Deb Weakly, creator of Help Club for Moms, joins Jennifer to talk about how big God is, his faithfulness, and the process of trusting him in our parenting and mothering story. There is so much hope in this episode, and we hope that wherever you are in your parenting journey, you are blessed by this conversation.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! With Winter and Winter Holidays around the corner, check out the Peaceful Press resources and blogs for good literature, engaging ways to celebrate, and the Four-week Autumn Guide.

    The Father Crisis with Katy Faust

    Welcome to episode 105 of the Restoration Home Podcast. What a conversation we have for you today. We had the honour of hosting Katy Faust of the "Them Before Us" movement. She comes on with heart-hitting facts about the cost of divorce, the crisis in a divorce generation, and the irreplaceable role of fathers.  Today, 50% of divorces are over low-level conflicts that build, and the long-term cost of a self-serving "happiness' decision is our children's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.  Katy and Jennifer offer advice on better communicating with our husbands, the point of fathers, and the importance of putting our children first in every decision.   This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! With Winter and Winter Holidays around the corner, check out the Peaceful Press resources and blogs for good literature, engaging ways to celebrate, and the Peaceful Press four-week Autumn Guide. Autumn Guide,  Christmas Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2  In this episode– Fathers and mothers each bring unique childrearing traits to the table; one is not better than the other, and neither is replaceable.  Children must come before adults in our policies, beliefs, and choices.  Love your children by respecting their father and choosing the narrative you spin about him carefully. It is children who bear the lifetime cost of a divorce, and step-parents rarely have your child's best interest at heart.  We need to get serious about sustaining marriages in the church and honouring fathers' unique and vital role.  Tips on how to communicate with your husband  Them Before Us by Katy Faust and Stacy Manning Check out Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle Keys to the Kingdom and the Queen's Code by Allison Armstrong for great books on understanding men and becoming more capable of navigating a gracious relationship with your husband.  Check out The Men We Need by Brant Hansen for an incredible book on manhood.  Order Katie's new book, Pro-Child Politics You can learn more about Jennifer here- Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Katy here- Katy's Instagram and website Some Amazon Affiliate Links.

    When Homeschooling Feels Hard with Emelie Pepito

    What if homeschooling was hard simply because there were still some areas where past pain continued to steal the joy and whimsy from our present life? And what if taking our precocious, intelligent 4-year-old from preschool to 12th grade, without turning them into "barely interested test takers", was possible? What if everything we thought about education was a myth? What if a little more balance and less stress could have a whole lot of impact?  In this delightful episode 101, Emelie and Jennifer talk about balance, baking bread, homeschooling, how life can steal our joy, why traditional workbook studies for our kids are detrimental to cultivating intelligence and much more.  This episode is for every mom with a deep love for her family and a lot of work to get through daily. We understand that life is demanding, but it doesn't have to be draining.

    Family Discipleship with Christie Thomas

    It's my pleasure to introduce Christie Thomas, the creator of Little Shoots and Deep Roots, as she joins Jennifer for an enriching discussion on nurturing and educating our children. As parents, our deepest wish is cultivating a love for God and joyful righteousness in our children. However, we often feel overwhelmed by distractions, grapple with fears, confront feelings of inadequacy, or simply struggle to find the time. But in Episode 100, you'll discover empowering and actionable insights for embarking on family discipleship with small yet impactful steps, releasing self-imposed pressures, and embracing gradual progress towards daily connection as a family through spiritual practices and scripture memorisation. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press! Are you starting to plan for next year's schooling and looking for homeschooling tips?? Check out the Peaceful Press's free How to Start Homeschooling Booklet.  Looking for additional Science and Nature Studies? Check out the Peaceful Press Nature Book Flood. A year round study of God's creation through science experiments, great literature, and exploration of the outdoors.  In this episode– Fear is not our friend in discipling our children  Creating simple habits that we can sustain every day is the best way to disciple our children  Anchor points are small practices we build out that no matter how intense our schedule or low our emotions, we can consistently do as a family and alone.  Saying a simple prayer over our children each night before bed has big effects on their mental, emotional, and spiritual well being.  You aren't perfect, and there is no perfect way to raise a "godly" family, but as we continue to bring Christ into the centre of it small actions can have God results.  Check out Christie Thomas's free guide "Start Little" Pick up Christie's new book Little Habits, Big Faith You can learn more about Jennifer here– Jennifer's Instagram You can learn more about Christie Thomas here– Christie's Instagram Some Amazon Affiliate Links.

    A Homeschool Mission Statement with Jennifer Pepito

    Welcome to Episode 99. Join Jennifer Pepito on a solo episode about crafting a homeschool mission statement. There is so much pulling at our attention and every "yes" is a "no" to something else, and every "no" opens up new opportunities to say "yes" to something better for your family down the road. But until we have a clear idea of our values for why we are homeschooling and what we want our family to look like, we can end up saying "yes" and "no" to the wrong things because we get caught up in the emotion or pressure of the moment.  This is a practical, beautiful, informative episode that will inspire you to start this school year with a fresh vision and develop the tools and skills to prioritize what really matters to you over the school year and beyond.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press! As the school year starts, check out the Homeschool Planner for a great way to stay organized and focused.  Looking for more nature and science for this year? The Peaceful Press Nature Book Flood is a beautiful addition to your school year.    In this episode– Pursuing virtue as a family  Why are you homeschooling?  Homeschooling is wonderful but hard, and knowing why we are doing it keeps us focused and joyful on the challenging days When decision-making fatigue sets in, a predetermined mission statement keeps our families on track  The Peaceful Press Family Vision Sheet  The Peaceful Life Workshop  Habits for a Sacred Home by Jennifer Pepito  Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto  How to Homeschool Free Book You can learn more about Jennifer here– Jennifer's Instagram
