Podcasts about catholic parents

It's when a child responds to authority, usually a parent, in a rude, defiant, or disrespectful way.Now, back talk isn't always about rebellion. It often comes from frustration, a need for control, or emotional overwhelm. And while it's frustrating, it's important to understand that it's developmentally normal. Kids, especially early teens and teens, are learning to assert themselves. But just because it's a normal developmental stage, doesn't mean it's okay. And when we feel disrespected or angry, we often speak disrespectfully to them as we tell them – or yell at them – about how disrespectful they're being to us.So, rather than focusing on their action – we need to focus on our action – that comes from what we think our role as parents should be.We need to be teachers. Our job as parents is to teach our children to speak with respect.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Common Pitfalls for Catholic Parents *How to Make God Positively Blind to Our Sins *More Than Theology and Philosophy 

GetReligion editor Terry Mattingly discusses “'Non-story? Catholic parents clash with Indiana officials over their ‘trans' child”

Summary: In this episode, expert evangelist Julianne Stanz joins to talk about the challenges and importance of discussing the Ten Commandments in the context of evangelization. We also discuss insights from Julianne's new book, The Catholic Parent's Survival Guide, and what she learned from interviews with parents and teens about discussing moral teachings and the Ten Commandments. We discuss the role of apprenticeship and practical tips for parish catechists. Julianne emphasizes the importance of prayer, practical engagement, and acknowledging one's own limitations when discussing difficult topics.Show Notes:(00:00) In the opening of this episode, Julianne Stanz discusses the challenge of integrating the Ten Commandments into evangelization, emphasizing the need to present the fullness of the Gospel. Edmund and Julianne discuss the "believe, behave, belong" concept, explaining that belief and belonging precede behavior. Julianne highlights the nuanced approach required for different individuals, stressing the importance of acknowledging the commandments as guideposts for moral and natural law in fostering meaningful discussions, especially with teenagers.(06:46) Julianne highlights the importance of presenting the Ten Commandments not merely as intellectual pursuits or behavior modification but as an invitation to experience God's life. She draws parallels to discipleship, emphasizing a close relationship with God. Edmund and Julianne discuss how young people may inadvertently make idols. Additionally, Julianne shares insights from young people's perspectives she learned through interviews and suggests using the Socratic method to foster meaningful conversations with children.(13:09) The conversation delves into the challenges of discussing morality and the Ten Commandments, emphasizing the danger of presenting as experts in all aspects of the Church. The dialogue underscores the power of authenticity, suggesting that modeling vulnerability and engaging in the learning process together is more effective than perfect presentations. Julianne shares more insights from her research, highlighting the deep pain young people harbor regarding mental health and identity. She addresses the silent struggles and desire for face-to-face conversations young people experience. Parents express pressure to have everything figured out, while Stanz recommends simple traditions, like blessing children's shoes, as impactful ways to instill faith at home.(21:02) Julianne advises catechists and parents not to fear presenting the Ten Commandments or facing tough questions. The discussion turns to authenticity, curiosity, and gradual teaching, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's role in evangelization. (28:08) The conclusion of the podcast directs listeners to explore additional resources and Julianne Stanz new book, A Survival Guide for Catholic Parents.

Hi! We are Bill and Nancy, and we run a ministry for Catholic Parents that you can learn all about right here: https://www.domesticchurchproject.com We'd also LOVE for you to join our new app for Catholic Parents! Enrollment will be open from Jan 1-6th! More details here: https://www.domesticchurchproject.com  Today we are talking about Community, but before you tune us out, I want to challenge you to really evaluate the role community plays in your life. And I bet you are actually starving for real community. But first, a little background: As you might know, we were spurred on to created the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp through the utterly transformative experience of competing for and winning the Our Sunday Visitor Catholic Innovators Challenge. Through that challenge mentors really pushed us to investigate what Catholic Families REALLY needed. So many things exist, and yet the Catholic Faith is not being transmitted to the next generation. So, what was missing? Through prayer, research, conversation and lots of hard work, we realized that parents need the HOW. We need to stop talking about teaching the Faith at home, and start showing parents HOW to teach. They need a program that trains them “on the job, at the speed of life” and that is what we created through the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp. In order to validate the Bootcamp, however, we decided to test it. And so, 100 families signed up and went through the whole program. Overall, it was a great success…but it was missing something: a community. Now, for the Beta testers were offered a FB group, but we soon learned that this just wasn't enough. And lots of people didn't want to be on FB (including me!) So, while I was scratching my head, Bill and the fathers were busy teaching us an important lesson. You see, the men started to meet each week for a “Happy Hour.” They simply jumped on a zoom call and shared how the Bootcamp was going in their home. And guess what, that simple element of community, authentic sharing and accountability was pivotal for the men that joined. And so, in the end that was our MAJOR learning from the Beta test: Catholic Parents need community. But, there is an even deeper problem here. Most of us have completely forgotten what community is! Community is not a 10,000 member Facebook group. Community is not scrolling on IG. Community is a group of people who share a goal and share the truth of their experiences openly. Therefore, half way through building the app we turned everything on its head. We abandoned our original plan and (through the grace of the Holy Spirit) found a must better platform that is private and an beautiful place to build this community for Catholic Parents. Listen to hear more about it. And, as always, thanks for being here! In Christ, Bill and Nancy

Welcome to the Domestic Church Project Podcast, a podcast for Catholic Parents. We are Bill and Nancy from Catholic Sprouts, and we aren't starting this podcast because we have it all figured out. Not at all. We are very much in the trenches of parenthood, with five young children. We worry too much, and yell too much...and rely on God too little. BUT! We want to do better, and we want to link arms with you as we embrace the greatest calling of our lives: to RAISE SAINTS and to BUILD DOMESTIC CHURCHES. It is our hope that by sharing the REALITY of our lives was parents struggling with our own issues as we attempt to raise saints and build a Domestic Church that you will be inspired to get to work in your own homes. And so that's what this podcast is. This podcast is a place for us to discuss what it means to be Catholic Parents, a place where we can share our struggles and insights, a place where we can challenge each other to be just a little bit better and rely on God just a little bit more each and every day. And so, welcome! If you are a REAL Catholic Parent who loves the Church but struggles to know HOW to teach the faith and engage the hearts of your kids, then you are in the right spot. And we hope that you not only listen but that you commit to getting to work in your own home and that you consider sharing your unique story with us! We are each called to be a unique Domestic Church, and the more stories we hear about what is going on in other homes the better! In future episodes you can look forward to Bill and I sharing our own struggles as parents and the small insights that we can gain. We also plan to bring on other Catholic Parents of all types including single parents, parents married to non-catholics and Catholic parents from all over the country and the world. It's going to be epic! Because no matter who you are, God knew what He was doing when He made you a parent. Even if your formation was terrible (or terribly received), even if you are super busy, even if your marriage is imperfect, even if there are wounds in your family. Even then!  No matter what the situation might be, God is STILL calling YOU to raise saints and build a Domestic Church. And with His grace YOU ARE UP TO THIS TASK! Believe it, and let's get to work! Join us as we travel this path together.  You remain in your prayers, and we happily welcome any and all prayers you can offer for this little ministry!  To find our more about The Domestic Church Project, a program for Catholic Families, head here: https://www.domesticchurchproject.com And, to listen to the daily podcast for Catholic Kids, Catholic Sprouts, head here: https://catholicsprouts.com Finally, if you are looking for some easy yet meaningful activities to do in your home to help teach the faith, check out our resource library for Catholic Families.
