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!

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.  Training Them Wisely: https://www.trainingthemwisely.com Instrumental List: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/9f786c95022c4b95acc15831f97bafecsune?ref=dm_sh_gIDqOOzbC7AMusMYOedhKlwwo&referrer=dm_sh_messages Modern List: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/ddd5fda04e2a490e871dec4824442630sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_thOezBTCrBgnJCiCay5KLBvz6 Traditional List: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/d8d7d7d3ac384283b535bd6050bbd945sune?ref=dm_sh_SYej2z9HTZY2Pyop8bNpuEK2W&referrer=dm_sh_messages   The Real Story of Christmas: https://amzn.to/4gvm00A   Here are the carols we included: Joy to the World The First Noel -O Come All Ye Faithful I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day O Holy Night O Little Town of Bethlehem Hark the Herald Angels Sing Angels We Have Heard on High Silent Night, Holy Night Away in the Manger Angels from the Realms of Glory O Come, O Come Emmanuel It Came Upon the Midnight Clear Go, Tell it on the Mountain Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus What Child is This God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Mary Did You Know Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

I am so excited to have Kendra Joyner join us again today! We talk about commonly held beliefs that your kids are exposed to and how to teach your kids the truth.

Have you been told you need to break, harness, control, nip in the bud, or any other such phrase in regard to your child's will and you're feeling the pressure to conform? We have some godly encouragement for you instead today on this episode about how Strong Will Does Not Equal Defiance. Strong will is another way of labeling the determination, drive, and spirit that does not give up easily. How the strong will is applied is what makes the difference. Is the will coming from a place of rebellion against God and what He wants or rebellion against cultural pressures and sin?Philippians 2:3-4 Pray that God will help them to SURRENDER their will to HimRomans 6:13 (NIV) - Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. Correction and not condemnation, especially in the words we speak over them.Do not want to speak bondage, death and destruction over their wills and lives but instead speak freedom, life, and build them up. Not interested in teaching a child to CONTROL their own will because they are incapable of doing so in their own strength. Commit instead to leading your children through discipline and discipleship to SURRENDER their will to the Lord who loves them most. They have a Savior who loves them and has a better way for them than anything they could ever manipulate or try to control on their own. We should seek to humbly discipline and disciple our children in a way that honors God because He has lovingly entrusted us to shepherd them!Ephesians 6:1 Their sin is more obvious - this is a plus Be calm, clear, and CONSISTENT, do what you say you will do, and help them understand their personal responsibility in the choices they make with their will. Correction and not condemnation Galatians 6:9 Let's not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. We want to raise children that are not conformed to the things of this world but transformed for mighty kingdom work and they will NEED strong wills for these battles!

My child is doing fill in the blank. What do I do? This is the most common question I am asked about. I spent five hours the other night responding to questions about this very topic. Discipline can be controversial and look different in each family. We were honestly a little nervous about recording these three episodes. We spent hours praying and studying before recording these podcasts. We are going to dive into the Scripture together and see what we can learn about biblical discipline.

This is one of the most powerful interviews I have done. There is so much truth, love, and wisdom in Isabella's words. To hear her testimony of going from angry to rejoicing and realizing that Jesus is Who she needs is so inspiring. I strongly encourage you to listen to her entire testimony, but if you are short on time, go to about minute 22. Here she gives such wonderful insight into how to biblically get through difficult times. Her words are so honest. You can see how tenderly God watches over and cares for each of us through her testimony. https://www.trainingthemwisely.com/shop   Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
