04/09/18 • 63 min

The Bible tells of healings, miracles and the power of the Holy Spirit, but God’s power didn’t stop after the New Testament. Today’s guest Courtney Smallbone shares her personal story of God’s power in the hardest circumstances imaginable.

Supernatural healing is for today. Courtney’s story of finding freedom from anxiety and miraculous healing for her infant son is a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness.

As moms we have a lot of fear and anxiety. We carry a lot. We have these little people that we’re in charge of and discipling. It gets exhausting and hard. I felt like the Lord just filled me with himself. He has given me not the spirit of fear, but love and power and a sound mind. I needed a sound mind when I was dealing with anxiety. He has given us power through his Holy Spirit and we can walk that out as moms in everyday life.

The Entitlement Fix Jim Lynne Jackson Ep 200

Does it seem possible to draw our kids away from entitlement and toward the bigger “Yes” of God’s blessing for them and other people in their lives? Well, get excited because Jim and Lynne Jackson of Connected Families are back with parenting wisdom to address entitlement in our kids AND in ourselves.

We as parents feel entitled to grateful, hard working kids, and when we don’t get them an we have ungrateful, resistant-to-chores kids we get pretty upset. That shows that we feel entitled to how things go my way in the home. Instead of saying, ‘Oh! Wow we have some challenges here that I can partner with Jesus and really dive into.’

What we chat about:

Jim and Lynne Jackson introduce Connected Families and their parenting framework
The root of entitled behavior in our kids and the beliefs that back it up
Entitlement is the belief that I deserve something because I’m more important than someone else
Entitlement is about our sin nature and we’re all born into that
As believers we need to call out entitlement in our lives and choose to put God first
We as parents feel entitled to grateful, hard-working kids
The attitude we bring into parenting and our beliefs are reflected onto our kids
Helping our kids learn to work hard and celebrate accomplishments give them a dopamine burst in their brains that helps “rewire” them to want to work hard again
Letting go of the places we are coddling our kids by not expecting them to serve and do hard things
The “Bigger Yes” of God’s blessing for your kids and other people
Take it slow and consider your kid’s perspective as you make changes toward growing our kids out of entitlement
Determining the rights, privileges and responsibilities of your family
When our kids see the beliefs we fight for and see the joy we experience as we follow God and it inclines them to want that too

Faith for the Unexpected Christine Caine 202

Powerhouse Christine Caine shares how she let go of fear and found faith for when the unexpected happened. Lots of truth and encouragement here for anyone who has encountered fear in parenting, a medical diagnosis and rejection in friendships... so all of us!

Jesus never said we’re not going to have trials. He said when trials come, not if, but when. I think sometimes as believers we forget that, but we have a grace within it. I think part of our testimony to a lost and broken world is the way we go through it.
