  • Every parent has dealt with a child interrupting. Join Angie and Ginger as they talk about the heart issue behind interrupting, how it can be a temptation for parents to sin as well, how we need to watch our own hearts, and how important it is to teach our children to have a respect for all people.

    The importance of keeping communication lines open with our kids is a major goal of every parent, but how we respond to our children can greatly impact that line of communication.

    If a parent ignores their child while talking to another adult, it can speak that their opinions or needs are not as important as the conversation they are having. We don’t want to communicate that our children are being annoying, rude, and not worth listening to with our actions. It could be a root cause for children feeling as though the parent doesn’t value their thoughts and feelings. This is very foundational in our relationships with our children– fragile ground if you will. But at the same time, we don’t want to cultivate a selfish, self-centered heart in our child by always attending to our child’s every whim at the cost of minimizing the value of others. There is a balance of teaching how to respectfully notify the parent that they need something without interrupting and also taking a moment away from adult conversations at a time that is appropriate and respectful of the other person you were speaking with.

  • Christian parents are feeling more alone than ever as they navigate equipping their children in unprecedented times, but it doesn't have to be this way! There's a growing parallel economy of Christian conservative resources. At the forefront is BRAVE books! We went to their headquarters to discuss with their CEO and founder, Trent Talbot, what's behind one of the most compelling Christian children's book publishers helping parents today.

    It's an incredible story of Trent leaving the safety of his career to obey God in starting BRAVE books. His bravery is helping to shift culture with 36 books (so far) by conservative celebrity authors, a movement to fix the library system, and an upcoming TV show with Kirk Cameron that gives parents a better option.

    There's a power in using good stories to impact the next generation. It's vital for parents to proactively address the hot-button issues that are influencing children toward waywardness. The challenge is, that it's hard for parents to know how to communicate with their kids about these complex issues that are oftentimes hidden in the media they consume. Finally, a new children's book can arrive every month that your children will love; and the bonus is that it also helps you, the parent, to equip your children in sound thinking with a conservative and biblical perspective on the issues of today.
