In the sermon on the mount, Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” What is a peacemaker? Is peacekeeping the same thing? In this episode we talk about how we can make peace in our homes and use the Connected Families’ peace process to raise our kids to make peace and value restoration in relationships.

In this episode, I chat with Glenys Nellist, children’s author, about observing Lent with children and her newest book Twas the Season of Lent. This is a 40-day devotional for families to use during the Lenten season in preparation for Easter. I love how we discuss the capability of children to handle hard things and trusting parents to know their children best.

The author of multiple award-winning children's books, including the bestselling 'Twas the Evening of Christmas, The Wonder That is You, and five popular series: Love Letters from God, Snuggle Time, 'Twas, Good News and Little Mole, her writing reflects a deep passion for helping children discover joy and hope in the world. Glenys lives in Michigan with her husband, David.

Until just a few days before the end of the year, I was unsettled in my reading plan for 2024. I loved my reading rhythm I had developed over the past couple of years, but it didn’t feel right. God then called my to read the entire Bible in 30 days. Not to try to learn everything, understand everything, but to simply be flooded with his Word for hours each day. In this episode, hear more about soaking in God’s Word, as well as what Psalm stuck out to me as a mama.
