An Interview With Dad
Living a Parable
10/03/22 • 23 min
This week I have a special episode AND a special project for you!
I interviewed all members of my family with the goal of having a little fun and letting them tell their sides of the stories that I have been shared about them in Living a Parable and that I continue to share about them in the podcast.
You've read the stories in the book, you've heard more in the podcast, now you will be able to hear directly from those involved in those stories.
As the father of five children, listen as my dad shares what was the most difficult part of raising so many children with so many different personalities and what it took to bring out the best in each in their own way.
What is the project I have for you?
This week I would like to encourage you to interview your family members. In conducting the interviews I stumbled across something bigger and even more valuable! Doing the interviews were more fun than I imagined they would be! Not only will the interviews be interesting for fans of the book and podcast but the joy they've brought my family was a very welcomed surprise. In this week's blog, Interview Your Family, I share with you tips on how to conduct your interview along with resources that provide you with questions to ask. When you conduct your own family interview you will learn more about your family and experience a closeness as you find out how alike, or how different, you truly are.

A Mother's Love
Living a Parable
08/08/22 • 19 min
Being a parent is a tough job. You love your children but love doesn't mean accepting everything they do. Discipline, punishment, and being selective with our blessings are all a part of our Lord's "parenting style". It can be so hard to remember He has what is best for us in mind when we are weathering our storms, whether it's in the form of discipline, punishment, or just not getting what we pray for.
This episode will encourage you to hold on because this is the most important relationship of your life!

Living a Parable
08/01/22 • 15 min
We are told to knock, seek, and ask but there is a reason the phrase, "Be careful what you ask for" exists. If you ask for success in life, are you prepared for what having it could truly mean? If you commit your life to Christ, are you prepared for what that could truly mean?
That's what we talk about in this week's episode! Listen and be prepared to let your light shine!

It's a given. In life we are going to have trials, it's unavoidable. Some of those trials may be self-inflicted, or maybe even disciplinary, but others, well others can make us just feel like victims because we can't figure out what in the world we did to deserve what we are going through.

5 Ways to Respond Like Christ When Christianity is Challenged
Living a Parable
06/27/22 • 21 min
When you stand up for Christ and let others know about your faith, opposition is inevitable. Opposition is a guarantee. Your faith will be challenged. Those who don't believe will mock not only your faith but in worst case scenarios, your intelligence. How do you respond without meeting their hateful and hurtful words with hateful and hurtful words of your own? How do you keep a calm and level head? How do you refrain from feeling insulted? How do you tell the truth and stand up for the truth without going down a rabbit hole of worthless back-and-forth debate? The answer to all of these questions is, we respond as Christ did.
Jesus was always put into situations where He was being questioned by people who didn't believe Him or didn't want to believe Him and were trying to set Him up every chance they got. The way Christ responded to these individuals gives us the perfect example of ways we too can respond today!
