Who Will Teach These Kids with Holly Knight

05/09/23 • 40 min

Public school, private school, or homeschooling? When you become a parent no one tells you how hard this decision will be when you have to make it for your innocent 5 year old baby! Today Jamie and Lisa hash out this debate in a judgment free zone! They challenge all of us to respect other family’s decisions and to give back to our community no matter what school you choose.

Mom of 5, Holly Knight is our expert for the day. Not only did Holly attend public school, private school, and homeschool as a child, her kids have also experienced all three throughout her parenting journey. Holly encourages us to be open minded to what your child needs in different seasons of their life and encourages us to not make decisions based on other’s expectations.

Just a friendly reminder, no matter which option you choose for your child, God is faithful yesterday, today, and forever!

Keeping Our Marriage Healthy with Josh and Christi Straub

Picture this: you’re standing in the kitchen knocking out your daily chores. Your spouse is sitting on the back patio reading. All the kids are young adults and out of the house. Do you recognize the person in the kitchen? Are you friends with the person sitting on the patio? We hear it all the time, the kids were the one connection point in your marriage and now that they’re gone, so is that connection. Today Lisa and Jamie discuss what we can do in the thick of parenting today that can help us not get to that place in the future!

Today’s experts are Dr. Josh and Christy Straub from the Famous At Home podcast that focuses on emotional and family wellness. They also author two children’s books called What Am I Feeling and What Do I Do With Worry? Josh and Christy share how it's so much more important to dive into the hearts of one another rather than dive into the schedule of the week, budget, what the kids are doing, etc. What is going on in each other’s hearts matters more than what’s going on between the two of you.

Please know that what every marriage needs and is able to get will look different from couple to couple, and will look different in various seasons of parenting. Josh and Christy challenge us with a 15 minute exercise that every couple can do to continue building the marriage that will outlast the kids in your home!
