Time with Miranda #3Miranda shares her heart on mindset and speaking life after leading a workout. 

This episode we talk about Miranda's recent travels, Haiti, regionals wrestling tournament, and disciplining the twins.Our mindset determines how our life goes. In wrestling Trust your training, do the next right thing, score the next point. Confidence comes from within. it's a gift you give yourself. The more time and effort you put in the more confidence you have. Hebrews 12:11. A law of the harvest is you won't reap in the same season you sow. Galatians 6:9. Celebration Dinner story at Mazzios. Mission of Hope Vision-As an organization following Jesus Christ, Mission of Hope exists to bring life transformation to every man, woman, and child. Brad and Vanessa Johnson. Leaders speak vision early and often. As a family we are eliminating hurry, hustle, and bustle. Twins discipline story. Kids will live up or down to your expectations. Speak a vision of who your kids can be in Christ. Nature vs Nurture. Psalm 139:14. Playing to win vs playing to not lose. Psalm 46:10. 

Masculinity is the qualities or attributes regarded as characteristics of men. Toxic or poisonous masculinity is a skewed cultural construct. Noble or higher masculinity is what we should strive for. Quotes on manhood. "Being male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of choice." "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."The root issue of toxic masculinity is the deconstruction of the family. If we are dealing with a masculinity issue, I believe it is a result of fathers not modeling manhood, not guiding their sons on the journey of manhood. "If you do not initiate your young men into the tribe, they will burn down the village." African ProverbEvery young male needs a guide on the lifelong journey of manhood. Rite of Passage LetterProverbs 17:6 "..the glory of sons is their father."

Minutes with Miranda #2 It's easy to be up when you're up.Arbonne Story-rise and fallWalk On Basketball Story-They aren't gonna guard me! Coach, "Miranda confidence is a gift you give yourself."Confidence and courageYour facts don't determine your outcomes. Capture your thoughtsTo be successful in life it's not about what you're doing in public, it's about what your doing in private. Private victories lead to public recognition. When you're not in momentum do the next right thing. If you're in momentum keep going. If you're not in momentum then keep going. Momentum will come.  

This week we talk about wrestling, what we're looking forward to, weekly rhythms, and foster care.The twins wrestled in the State Novice Wrestling Tournament. Bram got 5th. Bronson also got 5th at a HS wrestling tournament. Your not big steps from anything, you're small shifts from everything."I enjoyed watching you play." Bubba shares this with the kids after sports rather than critiquing them. Family Teams, rhythms, and family summit. We learned this from https://familyteams.com/Take the time to pause, take a Sabbath as God made the Sabbath for us. Praying through "do we become foster parents again?" Foster care stories. As the parent you are the leader of your home, you are not facilitating your kids' wishes, wants, and dreams. Lead them. Disciple them. Show them what it means to be a follower of Christ. Model behavior for kids. Kids wanting something vs doing something to achieve it. Prepare your child for the path not the path for the child. Follow Miranda on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mirandaburcham/?hl=enFollow Bubba on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bubbaburcham/?hl=en
