If you want to help your children learn to read and understand the Bible, listen in to this episode with author Catherine Parks as we discuss how we as parents can help develop a love for the word of God in our children. In this episode we also discuss how we can teach our children to have understanding of their identity in Christ.  Catherine's latest book "What to Wear" is out now and is a great resource and bible study to go through with your children.

Abdiwelli Ahemed came from a long line of devout Muslims in Somalia. By the time Abdiwelli was in high school he was extremely zealous for Islam. But in 1993 in college, he started questioning Islam as he read the bible. The more he read, the more he fell in love with Jesus. His life was speeding toward a decision that would change his life forever. Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs joins us to share Abdiwelli’s story, who from the first day he decided to follow Jesus said, “I am ready to die for Christ.” And if you’re a parent and you want your kids to fall in love with the bible this summer, author Catherine Parks joins Perry with a conversation about What To Wear, a Kid’s Bible Study on Looking Like Jesus. This 8-week study on Colossians 3:1-14, will empower your 8- to 12-year-old kids to obey Jesus not to get his love, but to obey him because they are loved!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Help kids fall in love with God and His Word as they study the Bible for themselves. The new book, What To Wear, is your kids' journey into their truest identity—Jesus Christ! All who follow Jesus—kids included—must take off and put on certain things. What to Wear is an eight-part study of these items of "clothing" Paul teaches about in Colossians 3. On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Catherine Parks talks about how this study shows your kids how Jesus perfectly embodies the virtues in Colossians 3 and how He enables us to grow in them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we teach our kids to dress like Jesus? What does it mean to put on the items of “clothing” Paul teaches about in Colossians 3? If you have kids or grandkids that are in Middle School, Catherine Parks has put together a new kid’s Bible study that has them exploring their identity in Christ and learning how to study the Bible for themselves. Catherine talks about this new resource that may be the perfect opportunity for you to join your student in learning what to wear before kicking off a new school year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women of the Faith: Esther Ahn Kim and Charlotte Forten Grimke In this week's episode, we are talking with Catherine Parks about two extraordinary women who you might not be very familiar with: Esther Ahn Kim and Charlotte Forten Grimke. Catherine describes these women as going about their daily lives “with resolve to do all they could to honor God and serve their fellow man. And it was this daily obedience that God used to give them both the opportunity and the strength to stand for justice and serve other people faithfully.” Catherine Parks is the author of several books, including two middle-grade biography collections, Strong and Empowered. She also serves as an acquisitions editor for Moody Publishers. Catherine and her husband, Erik, live in the Nashville, TN area with their children, Sophie and Micah. In her free time, she loves hiking, playing volleyball, and serving on her church's worship team.

El director de la compañía, Bernie Lomax, les recompensa invitándoles a una casa que posee en Hampton, una zona muy lujosa de la costa de Long Island.

What makes you powerful? What makes you strong? Is strength measured in grit, tenacity, courage, bravery, and never backing down from a challenge? On Episode 96, Daniel and Christina interview author Catherine Parks about where our true strength comes from and how to start the conversation with our kids about character, strength, empowerment, and grace.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: What it means to raise strong boys. What it means to raise empowered girls. How the Enneagram shapes us. The importance of where we place our ambitions.  Resources Mentioned During the Episode: Purchase a copy of Catherine Parks two books, Empowered: How God Shaped 11 Women's Lives (And Can Shape Yours Too) and Strong: How God Equipped 11 Ordinary Men with Extraordinary Power (and Can Do the Same for You) Check out Catherine's resources about Using Empowered with Old Teens: A Study Resource and Resources for an Empowered Book Club Quotes and Tweets: What does it mean for the call of God in our lives to apply to every single thing that we do and not to just these big life events? @cathparks It's important for our kids to see that Christianity doesn't mean that we are perfect; it means depending on Christ in our weaknesses. @cathparks You can't stand up for something and you can't be faithful to someone that you don't know. These men and women knew God so well. @cathparks The Bible doesn't tell us our purpose in life is to do big things or change the world. Instead, it says we're crated in the image of God - we're made to show the world the glory of God! @cathparks Loving God and others means standing up for justice, being self-less, using our gifts, and many other things. But the power to do those things come from God, not from our own strength. @cathparks Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts Google Play Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow Pinterest - @imbetweenshow And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, so that you will never miss an episode! _________________________________________________________________ Meet Catherine Parks: Catherine Parks is a writer and Bible teacher who has loved reading biographies since she was a kid.

It's easy to make friends in Kindergarten. It gets harder to maintain friendships once we're out of school and in the "real world" but those key relationships are no less vital. Catherine Parks shares some tips for how to find, make, and keep quality friendships.

She once missed a friend’s wedding because she didn’t feel comfortable in a dress. Now, Catherine Parks, a four-year member of La Verne FBBC, isn’t afraid to show her body off to the cameras. In this episode, Catherine shares how you can overcome your fitness struggles by identifying the root of your problems. Watch or listen now to discover why Fit Body Boot Camp is the most addictive (and effective) way to lose weight and get your life back.

Last week on the Journeywomen Podcast, Catherine Parks and I discussed how confession, repentance, and prayer deepen our friendships in the body of Christ. Today, we’re going to continue the conversation on friendship with Kelly Needham. Kelly and I talked about something that isn’t a super popular topic of conversation, but that we’ve probably all experienced on some level: unhealthy friendships. We ran the gamut on everything from common signs of unhealthy friendships to how the gospel frees us to really love one another earnestly, since love covers over a multitude of sins.   So you’ll know her a little better before we get started, Kelly first began writing and speaking to her husband Jimmy’s fan base in 2008 as they traveled together. She is a regular contributor for Revive Our Hearts, and her writing has been featured at Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, The Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission, Eternal Perspectives Ministries, and Crosswalk.   Be sure to complete the short survey before midnight on November 19 for a chance to win an ESV single column journaling Bible by Crossway.

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m chatting with Catherine Parks about authentic friendships. We talked about everything from the role of confession, repentance, and prayer in our friendships to how the gospel actually restores our relationships with one another when we’ve wronged or been wrong.   Since my conversation with Catherine, I’ve found myself encouraged to walk in authenticity in my own relationships for the building up of the church and ultimately, for the glory of God. I hope you’re encouraged to that end as you listen as well!   So you’ll know our guest a little better, Catherine Parks is a writer and Bible teacher who loves to help women build friendships around Scripture and prayer.   Be sure to complete the short survey before midnight on November 19 for a chance to win an ESV single column journaling Bible by Crossway.
