This week, as we gather around the Thanksgiving table, I'm flipping the script on gratitude. It's not just about saying “thank you”—it's about living it. In this solo episode, I reflect on the power of gratitude, sharing heartfelt lessons from my mom's generosity and practical wisdom from organizational psychologist Adam Grant. I share how we can rethink gratitude by shifting our lens outward and focusing on gratitude as an action instead of a feeling. Plus, I'll give you actionable ways to model and teach gratitude, especially to the kids in your life.
As our children grow up, they may start to handle some things themselves. This could be chores, getting up on time, or saving up their allowance or earned money whenever they want a new toy.This is a natural part of getting older, but as a parent, it can be difficult to navigate when to step in and when is it healthy to let your child fail. There are going to be times when “helping” is actually preventing our children from developing their independence and sense of responsibility. We've been going through this with our own son lately so this conversation hit home as we are asking ourselves if we were actually helping our son or if we are feeding an entitled spirit.And this topic of entitlement can pop up in all kinds of areas such as how much to buy for our kids, how much we expect them to help out around the house, or even when it comes to birthdays and Christmas gifts.Today's guest, Kristen Welch, has wrestled through these questions in her own home. She is the author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World and the founder and CEO of Mercy House Global, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower marginalized communities with life-changing opportunities that create hope.In this episode, Kristen shares :The connection between gratitude and happinessHow to identify entitlementThe danger of instant gratificationAnd much more!We hope you enjoy this conversation!Show Notes: growinghometogether.com/kristen-welch-102

As we conclude the Parenting Pandemic series, discover how to raise grateful kids in an entitled world. Explore the power of shifting perspectives from "I deserve" to "I am responsible" and practical ways to nurture gratitude, self-governance, and a giving heart in your children. Let's equip the next generation to navigate entitlement with a Christ-centered mindset!
Materialism and entitlement have led many of us down a path of discontentment. In this key text, Paul reminds Timothy that the greatest acquisition in this life is godliness with contentment, and exhorts Timothy (and us) to avoid the dangers of the love of money and to pursue contentment in what Christ has given us.
How are you going to be present in the moment with Jesus?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Kristen discuss: Gratitude is born at the crossroads of perspective.Living life with a grateful heart. Finding your life of purpose. The key to raising grateful kids. Capturing the moments and the audience that matter most. Staying present in the moment, looking up, looking around, and slowing down. Key Takeaways: Jesus is all we need. There is no need for comparison with our neighbors because He is all we need (either those with more or those with less). We all have the opportunity to respond to what we are experiencing. Doing nothing is a response, but is it working? If not, what can you do to make a change? Kids can sniff out hypocrisy. They know when you're not doing what you tell them to do. If you want to raise children who follow Jesus, then you must follow Jesus. There are opportunities to live the gospel every day in the making of the beds and the peanut butter sandwiches. Have dinner with your family, slow down, take a walk, and connect. "Jesus is enough. He is more than enough. Giving our life away is a beautiful way to live." — Kristen Welch About Kristen Welch: Kristen Welch is a compassionate leader and accomplished author dedicated to making a meaningful impact on vulnerable families.

GET THE FREE APP It's hard being a parent in today's culture. Good parents want to know "How do you raise Godly children in today's culture?" Learning how to raise children correctly can seem impossible sometimes. Many times parents tend to overcorrect from their parents' mistakes which just creates more mistakes. And the way systems are set up for our kids, it seems to make them remain kids longer, and they can't think for themselves or really take care of themselves.With the way kids come out of college, many parents wish they had never sent their kids to college. It leaves us stuck asking ourselves, "How do I raise kids I actually like?" It's important to understand that we're trying to raise kids to be adults, not kids to remain children. With that in mind, there are actually very effective and practical ways to raise up our children exactly the way we want them to turn out.You can actually easily shape your children to be more grateful, caring, self-reliant, emotionally intelligent, free thinking and financially literate. Scott Donnell helps teach thousands of parents how to not make parenting mistakes that will ruin a child's growth. @Scottdonnell Scott Donnell teaches parents how to prepare your children for the world. He helps show parents how their kids can thrive in everything they do as they grow. It all starts with learning the mindset of Value Creation.Scott wrote the book "Value Creation Kid: The Healthy Struggles Your Children Need to Succeed." Scott dives deep in tried and true methods of giving your children an incredible advantage for their life journeys. Scott helps teach a Home Economy System for families, so that kids become critical thinkers and entrepreneurial minded in everything they do. So they become goal oriented and results driven rather than wasting time and effort needlessly for failed paths. This is one way kids prosper when they understand what it means to create value first.This system helps parents much more easily teach their children about money, and how to make finances fun for kids. But money is only a tool, value creation is the key to finding financial success, as well as emotional and spiritual success.Scott teaches the 3 E's - Expectation, Expenses, Extra-Pay. When you do these three correctly, your kids won't ask you for money anymore. They'll learn budgeting, delayed gratification, value of goods, trade off of goods. They won't have an entitled attitude. They can prosper without having to complain about a silver spoon in their mouth. But they also won't have a poverty mindset that keeps them defeated. This strategy works much more effectively than old systems of allowance, busy chores, selfish thinking. This helps children understand their roles and responsibilities in their family, but it also gives them great ingenuity and motivation for how to understand and grow the life-giving natural gifts that they have.Watch as Brett gains a lot of wisdom dialoguing with Scott Donnell about how to truly prosper your kids and your whole family. This is very much a legacy building tool for future generations to prosper from as well.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬VALUE CREATION KIDFREE APP18 FAMILY LEGACY STRATEGIES▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬NEW IRON DEEP BOOK https://www.irondeep.com/the-secret-war-withinThis is a must-read for every highly successful entrepreneur.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe to Our Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@UCBPidx70rstadlrS2piMt5g ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.irondeep.com/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
How are you teaching your children about generosity? In this episode, Jeff and Nathan discuss: A global perspective of God's reach from a young age. Growing up in the Barnhart family with a blended education. What it means to have a community in Christ. Living intentionally with consistency. Key Takeaways: The God of your life is the same God of the world. He is the same worldwide. We are stewards of all God gives us - business, money, children, resources, etc. All we have can be used for His glory. Living a life consistent with scripture will look different for everybody, but it is possible to set your family's lifestyle around generosity, not consumption. Kids are wildly observant and will pick up on things you never would guess and they will learn from everything you do and don't do. Take stock of what the Lord has given you. It may not look like what others have, but they are your gifts from God for His glory and to steward in His kingdom. "Generosity is not these big highlight reel type of occasions - it's not giving away the company, it's not writing the huge check. Generosity is seeing what you have as a gift from God to bless Him and to bless others." — Nathan Barnhart Episode References: Young Life: https://younglife.org/Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World by Kristen Welch - https://www.amazon.com/Raising-Grateful-Kids-Entitled-World/dp/1496405293 About Nathan Barnhart: My name is Nathan Barnhart, a third-generation employee at Barnhart Crane and Rigging Company, where I've dedicated the last decade to various roles across the company in Knoxville, Iowa, Memphis, and Portland.

Today we're talking about the idea of gratitude and entitlement as well as the role that we personally play as entrepreneurs in our kids stories related to those two specific things. We are combating entitlement while, at the same time, we want to give our kids the world. There was a time when raising grateful kids might have been a little bit easier, but I think we are up against a bigger fight nowadays. Expectations have changed. Childhood has changed. The family has changed. And the end result? A lot of entitled kids. So, what are some things we can actively do to combat it? How can we play a pivotal role in our kids' lives as entrepreneurs, as leaders and as parents? Let's raise them up right!

Entitlement has become an epidemic among our kids. We are raising children in a quick-fix society, where everything they want seems to be available at the touch of a button (or a holler out to Alexa!) Many of us (me included!) have grown frustrated with this issue, and wonder if there is some way to fight against it. Kristen Welch, founder of Mercy House Global, and author of “Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World” (among other awesome books) joins us today to talk about gratitude, which she calls the antidote for entitlement! Kristen is sharing 6 ways we can “train our kids” (and ourselves) in gratitude…These are practical and do-able -- at the holidays, and all year long.

Oh, did I mention she’s been intentionally homeschooling this huge brood of active kids full-time for the last 6 years too!Her husband (who is a banker) was on episode #009 last month so I think you’ll agree with me that this marriage and family is not just surviving… it’s THRIVING!

We’re taking a pause from our summer series on health and it is well worth it. Kristen is one of those people whose life has been radically changed and you can’t help but be changed as you listen to her. And in many ways, shouldn’t that be what all of our lives are like? As we encounter Jesus for ourselves and are changed, shouldn’t that be what others say about us all? This episode will encourage you, but more than anything I think it will challenge you as it challenged me. What if us running toward comfort in our lives, and holding back from those things that scare us, the things that God has set right before us in our lives to get our attention - what if those are the exact things we need to thrive? What if our best life is actually found in turning to face those things head on. Grabbing Jesus by the hand and saying, “Ok, I’m scared, but I’m in, I’m all in.” Kristen Welch is the founder of Mercy House Global, an organization that exists to engage, empower and disciple women around the globe. She is the author of several books including Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Raising World Changers in a Changing World, and her latest book, Made to Move Mountains: How God Uses our Dreams and Disasters to Accomplish the Impossible.
We recently received this question from a listener and we knew it was a topic we had to discuss! Raising kids in our western culture, we can get lost in raising them in the midst of entitlement. But how can we raise grateful, well-rounded humans? Join us as we share our stories and share some great ideas to implement! VIEW FULL SHOW NOTES --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theaskingpod/message
Our culture has increasingly become welcoming of entitlement attitudes, provoking many to become lazy and diminish the reward of hard work and effort. They believe that they deserve the same as others even when their efforts and performance aren’t worthy of the same prize. But this isn’t God's will. Join us as we discuss keys to instilling work ethic in your kids in an entitled world. For notes, scriptures and resources mentioned go to https://courageousparenting.com/

Kristen Welch has an international ministry called The Mercy House, is a blogger at We are THAT family, a fellow podcaster at and the author of four books. Two of her books are some of my favorite parenting books—Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World and Raising World Changers in a Changing World. Today, we are going to talk about raising grateful kids in an entitled world first. We are going to talk about how to go against the cultural grain to give our kids everything that is good—and instead choose to give them what's BEST.
BREAKING NEWS: We're now offering a daily dadAWESOME text message with encouragement, prayers, Bible verses, dad tips and other fatherhood inspiration. Simply text "dad" to 33222 to join DA Daily. ---------- This is part three of Mom Month and Kristen Welch joins us for a conversation about chasing dreams, living with gratitude and the dangers of living with ourselves in the center of our own universe. Kristen is a blogger (Wearethatfamily.com), author, podcaster and founder of an incredible nonprofit ministry in Kenya. Conversations Notes: Showing our kids unconditional love (1:35) Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (2:20) Living for my family alone led to a child-centered home (7:35) My husband could see the emptiness in me and he hurt for me (11:00) The trip to Kenya woke me up... I literally woke up from the American Dream that had become a nightmare for me. The cycle in me that there was never enough. (11:40) Story of a young orphan boy in Kenya who in the worlds eyes had nothing (12:50) Why was this boy filled with joy? Why was he smiling when he had nothing (13:50) I have everything because I have Jesus (14:30) A response of doing nothing is still a response (16:18) We must acknowledge what we have done in the past that has led our families to where we are at (17:08) My choices changed. The way I shopped, consumed, lived and served (17:40) It revealed my own entitlement. How much I expected and felt like I deserved (18:00) "I don't want to add Jesus to my life like salt and pepper to a meal. I want him to be the main course!" (18:50) The can't have a child-centered home and a Jesus-centered home at the same time (18:55) Service was not part of who we were. We did not serve others (20:35) "It is really hard to change the direction of a ship [your family]. It does not happen overnight. It is slow and steady and consistent." We began making service a normal part of our lives (21:20) Instead of keeping everything to ourselves, our response was to start Mercy House (21:45) The reason you feel empty is that you're keeping these blessings to yourself (22:10) We simply took small steps towards saying yes everyday (23:30) Moving from a joyless person to a purposeful person (24:15) Where do we have extra to share? Spare seat at the table? Open seat in the vehicle? Room during the holidays? We're sitting on this incredible secret that generosity changes lives... it makes us grateful (25:55) Story of her husband helping her chase her dreams (26:55) My husband was way ahead of me. He was leading our family spiritually. He was asking questions that made me uncomfortable... He was seeing a pattern in me that was unhealthy (28:25) My husband said to me, "What happened to the girl that wanted to change the world?" (29:25) The heart of a husband that wanted to bring out the best in a wife... he didn't want motherhood to kill her dreams (32:20) I said let's do something radical and my husband said, "let's do it" (33:00) "God had to take me all the way to Kenya and wreck my heart so that when I came back I would be on the same page as my husband" (33:30) The real tension of needing her husband to lead in ways that were best for their family (34:00) This life isn't about me or even my family. This life is about the Gospel. We exist to make the Gospel known and glorify God in what we do. (36:30) "Wait for life's sweet spot where your passion and our skills collide with God's timing" (37:30) Be grateful. Gratitude can turn the hardest days into the best days. (38:30) Gratitude is a lifeline in our lives. It truly reminds us of what we have and a global perspective also helps us realize what we have (39:20) Episode Links: Wearethatfamily.com Moving Mountains Podcast Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World: How One Family Learned That Saying No Can Lead to Life's Biggest Yes Raising World Changers in a Changing World Mercy House Global
No one wants to raise an "entitled" kid, parents talk & worry about it all the time. Breathe easy as we discuss some practical ways to rase grateful kids in today's world
You crafted the perfect Christmas list for your kids—a blend of beautiful, educational, practical, and personal. All will be well when they open their pre-approved number of acceptable gifts. That is, until the gift-giver enters the scene and breaks all the rules. In this episode, Emily and Laura flip the gift-giving conversation to ask, “Mama, what’s going on in your heart?” When we remember God’s love to us through Christ, we can see the gift-giver through the lens of grace as we consider our response. Let the richness of Jesus's birth set a tone of gratefulness in your home this gift-giving season.

Grounded all summer - what a bummer for having a messy room. Today on Ask a House Cleaner a kid writes in grounded for not "cleaning my room." The House Cleaning Guru, Angela Brown gives advice for kids. And tips for parents about grounding, punishment, discipline, and reciprocity. Clean your room - you don't get grounded. But it's more about the privileges associated with obedience than it is the art to negotiate your punishment or make a deal. Get what you want because you follow the rules and are obedient.

Whether you have kids or not you’re going to learn the importance of having the right perspective on all of our circumstances. You can learn more by going to www.wearethatfamily.com or www.raisinggratefulkids.com The post How to Raise Grateful Kids in an Entitlement World appeared first on Home Front with Cynthia Davis.
We've had an interesting discussion in the private FB group (you can join here: http://www.jasonstapleton.com/facebook) about how best to spread liberty here in the United States. Should we spend our days trying to convert our friends, family and co-workers or should we focus on solving big issues and coming up with "solutions."I think most of you know I believe Liberty has a messaging problem. This extends into the libertarian party which should be the torch bearers of that message.Although I have been a libertarian for a long time, the show is only a little over a year old and although I'm already being called a "Celebritarian" I am fairly new to the public scene.In that very short period, I have been able to amass an audience most libertarian voices would envy. Not only that a large portion of my viewers and listeners are POL's (Person other than libertarian).So what's the secret to reaching those looking for a better solution than a Trump or Sanders? Well, in today's episode I'm going to tell you.I don't know if I'm right or not, but I know what we're doing is working. The message is growing, and we're growing in number. I hope you can take some of the ideas away with you and use them in your life. Lord knows we need more people spreading the message.Support the show.
Are you concerned your kids won't be the people you'd like them to be when they grow up? Is there a constant struggle to get them to listen and respect you? This podcast is filled with great advice on raising respectful kids in today's high tech engaged world. Raising kids today is not easy. There are so many distractions that it's hard for parents to really connect with their kids. That connection with a child and parent is so important, not only while they are young, but also when it comes time for them to take on the world on their own. We want our kids to realize that you can't get what you want all the time, especially in the real world. In today's podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Amy McCready. Amy is the founder of Positive Parenting Solutions and the author of If I Have to Tell You One More Time... and The Me, Me, Me Epidemic! She is a regular parenting contributor on The Today Show and has also appeared on Rachael Ray, CBS This Morning, CNN, Fox & Friends, MSNBC, Steve Harvey, and elsewhere. Her most important role is playing mom to two teenage boys. Amy and I discuss some great ways to help our kids have healthy attitudes and be respectful in or outside of the home. We talk about setting limits for our kids and to make sure that consequences are set in place. Many parents struggle with telling their kids no, and today Amy talks about how we as parents can take control and raise confident, respectful and responsible kids. Kids today need parents that empower them to do better and make a difference. Amy has amazing tips to help parents make a positive impact on their kids that will help them for the rest of their lives.
