Ep. 88 Walking With Jesus Through Daily Time With Him

Let's talk about spending time each day with God. Why do we do this? What do we do each day? 
When we were coming up with a title for this episode, I kept hearing the phrase walking with Jesus. Really that's what time with Him is. We are spending time with Him. It is so important to spend that time with Him and develop a relationship with Him. 
Adam and Eve walked with God in the cool of the evening. He wants a relationship with each of us. Relationships involve time, and your relationship with Jesus is worth the time!

Ep. 87 Goals for the New Year

Why should we have goals? What should our goals look like? How should our goals look different than the worlds?

Ep. 86 Cherished Christmas Carols

Does what we listen to matter? I love singing Christmas carols with my kids! I love going caroling. We are going to give cards and sing tomorrow night, and I can't wait. 
So often when I listen to Christmas songs that are randomly playing, I only get the modern songs, many of which I love. But, I love hearing the old carols. So - we have three playlists for us all to enjoy!
They are the same songs, but one list is modern, another is traditional and the other is instrumental. I love playing instrumental music in the background while I am working or when the kids are homeschooling. There is something so soothing about it. I have also loved listening to my kids singing along with these carols. I hope that you get as much joy from these as we have! 
We had said we were going to put these on Spotify, but one of us doesn't have Spotify, so these are on Amazon instead.

Ep. 82 Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

I love filling shoeboxes with gifts for Operation Christmas Child. My kids fill a box for a child their age, and we have the best time filling these boxes! My son, Jonny joins me on this episode to discuss some of his favorite things to put in the shoeboxes. 
Kids who receive these boxes also hear the gospel message, and this is a great way to partner in sharing the love of Jesus with others!
