When you get married, all of your attention is on your spouse. Then, once you have kids, all of that attention goes to your children. Often times this leads to a loss of intimacy with your spouse, but in this episode, we talk about how to keep that from happening as well as bringing intimacy back into the marriage.Today's Guest: Heather MacFaydenHeather MacFadyen wrote online before Facebook existed.

“Confession is not a ‘guilt' confession. It's an ‘aligning with God' confession. I want to get in line with what is true so I am confessing that this has been untrue, and now I want to believe truly from this core place.” Heather MacFadyen wrote online before Facebook existed. After years of blog entries, in 2013 she launched a trailblazing podcast called God Centered Mom. In 2018, the show rebranded to the Don't Mom Alone podcast, and she has a book out NOW of the same name! What I love about Heather is that her content isn't just for moms. Yes, moms can get so much out of this, but this episode is really about community, listening to the Holy Spirit, and healing - something that can be applied to so many situations and areas of our lives. It's about confronting and confessing the lies we tell ourselves so that we can align with the truth of who God says we are. This is not the episode to skip, and check out her new book Don't Mom Alone!

Ever feel alone or isolated as a parent? Between navigating your kids' misbehavior in public, enduring other judgmental parents, and the demands of daily life, staying isolated can often feel easier than attempting social connection and events. Yet parenting without a solid community can bring feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Just like our kids, we as parents need to feel safety and connection in community too. That comes when we parent in community. What holds us back from parenting in community? And what's the way forward to more safe, connected, and meaningful parenting relationships? Join us and our guest Heather MacFadyen, founder of Don't Mom Alone, to hear how she worked through some rough seasons of isolation, and how she learned to build a life-giving parenting community around her. Heather joins Stacy Bellward (podcast host) and Jim Jackson (co-founder of Connected Families) to discuss her inner healing journey, and several life-changing truths that offered her hope and a new perspective. Your child's choices and behavior don't define you. When you explore what is going on inside of you as a parent in the safety of God's grace, you can find hope and a new perspective too. You can dispel the shame and fear that keeps you isolated from parenting in community. In this podcast, you'll discover: “Isolating ideas” that keep you from interacting with other parents and forming meaningful connection with themThe profound importance of starting with the Foundation of “What's going on in me?”How shame can keep us isolated from connecting with other parentsThe Connected Families Framework that helps you embrace with grace the humanity of both you and your child We are here for you in your parenting journey. Do you have a parenting testimony to share or have a parenting concern?  If so please reach out to us! We hope you have learned life-giving tips today to help you parent with peace and connection. About Heather MacFadyen:  Married and a mom to four sons, Heather struggled with the challenges of raising four young boys. She isolated herself from community, fearing embarrassment, rejection, and failure. Slowly she began to reach out to friends again and started to parent in community. Through prayer with friends, God healed wrong identities Heather was holding onto. She started a podcast called “God-Centered Mom” (now Don't Mom Alone), a show that has been downloaded over 7 million times.

Thriving Beyond Belief with Cheryl Scruggs

What an exciting day it is today on Thriving Beyond Belief! We have Heather Macfayden on the podcast today, and you will absolutely want to make time to hear this today! Heather has her own podcast, the God-Centered Mom. Having four sons of her own, Heather speaks with us today about thriving in motherhood, in marriage, and in our many roles as women. Parenting is a role we all struggle to perfect, but Heather speaks some amazing truth over the real goal of parenting. We often see the actions of our children as a reflection of who we are as parents. We put this pressure on ourselves that what we teach our children today will carry on through their lives. Heather reminds us that we must remember that we are important, but we are not essential to the larger picture of what the Lord is doing. We cannot project our child's successes and/or failures directly on us. We steward well the roles the Lord has given us, but we must remember that we are each running our own race with the Lord, and as parents all we can do is be amazing encouragers of our children to run their race with the Lord well. Heather shares that the Lord has given us each a purpose and to celebrate the fact that each person's role, including our spouse and children's, is unique! We discuss how our role as parents is a greater reflection of how Christ is with us. We talk about our responses as parents to our children, and using those moments as opportunities rather than see them as problems or inconveniences. We can daily have our own time with the Lord, even in the midst of a busy household and Heather shares some resources that have helped her carve out that time each day. Rather than waste our time comparing ourselves to others via social media, different blogs, etc., we need to steward our time well and be intentional with Christ. Not only do we get to discuss parenthood, but we talk about some unique challenges Heather and her husband face in marriage while being parents to four children. She reminds us that a healthy partnership with our spouse better equips us to parent well. We are individuals, and we need to continue to steward our gifts outside the home to better serve those inside our home. Please take some time and listen today- it will be a blessing to you!

Jinger and Jessica Lord are a mother and daughter pair whom I have watched and admired first hand.

Jessica is her second-born (in between two boys) and, in contrast to her mother, is a creative, random-thinker who is more passionate about relationships than tasks. We chat about the ups and downs of their relationship and the fruit of intentional discipleship in their home.

In this episode I talked with Bonni Greiner of Mom By Example - a ministry for mothers where Bonni shares her tips on child-rearing, marriage, and motherhood and offers real, down in the dirt style encouragement for moms like you and me. Bonnie has a vibrant Facebook community where she goes Live and shares her words of wisdom for moms everywhere. What I love about Bonni’s unique story of motherhood and work is that although she started out with a broken and dysfunctional relationship to work, God was out to do something bigger. When she learned her passions and gifts didn't have to leave her with guilt, but rather GRATITUDE, God actually redeemed work for her. She began working from home and found that it blessed both her and her family. She began living into the abilities and interests God gave her right where she was at - and she found freedom in that.

I hope you have! Today we’re going to be talking about how to remain a God-centered mom—which is the heart of Heather’s podcast. She is going to share her favorite tips that she’s received from guests on her podcast. She’s also going to rock your world with some of her morning tips—and lots of resources as well! Let’s face it, the most important part of being a God-centered mom is getting yourself in the Word of God.But that’s often really challenging for moms! It's hard to get away. We have demands piling up on us, sometimes before we even plan to get up in the mornings. Many of you have already received a copy of my book, Sanity Savers for Moms. {For those of you who haven't, it's a gift that I offer HERE.} One of my “sanity saver” tips in the book for finding time to get in the Word is to not feel guilty about putting a show on for your kids to watch, so you can sneak away with your Bible for a bit. There are so many really amazing Christian shows that you can put on for your kids, so you are both growing in the Lord at the same time. I'm excited to share with you that our sponsor for this episode just so happens to be JellyTelly!  Their company is so amazing! I share some of my favorite shows below and on the podcast. JellyTelly has some amazing Christian programming to entertain your kids while you pull away to be with the Lord…or sit with them and watch, too. {Don’t forget to use the code SIMPLYJOYFUL to get some awesome freebies! — more below}  You are going to be so blessed by this episode!   ON A SIMPLY JOYFUL NOTE… Do you have children who have school uniforms? Keep everything—socks, shoes, shirts, etc—together in one place. Heather says they keep theirs together downstairs. That way if it's time to walk out the door and someone needs to put shoes on but doesn’t have socks, they don’t have to run back to grab socks. Everything is all together. Morning Habit: Have a spot where all your stuff is so you don’t have to think about finding it in the morning.   IN THIS EPISODE… Grab your favorite drink and settle in—you are going to LOVE this episode!      ***Check out the SHOW NOTES to see all the great highlights, quotes, and links!***     BOOKS MENTIONED…   Hello Mornings: How to Build a Grace-Filled, Life-Giving Morning Forgotten God Sheila Walsh's God's Warriors       SPECIAL THANKS AGAIN TO THIS WEEK’S SPONSOR: JELLYTELLY!   Use "SIMPLYJOYFUL" (in all caps) to get a FREE WEEK of JellyTelly + 10 Page Jesus Coloring Book Download!!

5 Schedule Sappers and How to Stop Them :: Lysa TerKeurst {Ep. 45}

Do you feel like the master of your schedule or mastered by your schedule? I've had days this fall where each half hour is so tightly packed that a few minute delay shifts the whole day. In response, my mood is rushed, my tone is harsh and my joy is zapped. Today's podcast guest, Lysa TerKeurst, author of the new book, “The Best Yes” has some wisdom to share if you feel the same soul stress as me. Are you being intentional about what you say ‘yes' to? Or are you reacting to the needs around you and saying ‘yes' to more than you can handle? Are you living the life you feel God desires or are you attempting to do all-the-things to please people around you? In this episode Lysa and I dig into five schedule sappers, ways we don't take control of schedule and in exchange lose control of our sanity. She shares practical tips for the mom of little ones, ways to be proactive in living our best lives. What we talk about: How she is on this journey with us to manage the tension of overwhelmed schedules and underwhelmed souls. The season Lysa is now in and how she would have handed herself this book 10 years ago—how the daily choices are impacted by our best “yeses”. The goal of concentric impact circles of a God Centered Mom, but the reality of strangers get my best and my family getting my worst. Lysa's confession of being a people pleaser. The tension of having more requests of you than can be done in a day and the power of the words “yes” and “no”. Unrushing my soul can sound good in theory, but hard to implement with a rushed reality. How do we ‘unrush' when the realities are rushed. Practical ideas for fitting in our best yes with a chaotic four boy schedule. Have to get intentional with the time we have. Definition of “Schedule sapper”: those things that come and sap our schedules, that we dread saying ‘yes' but feel powerless to say ‘no'. If you allow the thing that feeds your soul to get away from you, you do your family a disservice. Delaying never lets the ‘no' go down easier. If you get a request and feel a sense of dread, disappoints family/kids, or introduces drama, then you should say ‘no' right away. Saying ‘yes' to everything won't make me wonder woman, but a worn out woman. Overestimate my capacity and underestimate my time. People not projects need to occupy the sacred space of my heart. “When the motions of my life are rushed, my emotions don't have to be.” “How I set my schedule is how I spend my life. How I spend my life is how I spend my soul.” Connect with Lysa: Site :: Facebook :: Twitter :: Pinterest Show Notes: Made to Crave Unglued The Best Yes The Best Yes resources: weekly time assessment tool, chase down the decision tool, videos “The Unrush Me” Challenge – 5-day devotional straight to your email, an appetizer leading up to the book. “It Will Be Okay: Trusting God through Fear and Change” – new children's book by Lysa

Ok. I won't tell you how many minutes hours I scrolled through Facebook & Instagram yesterday reading about all the wonderful men in my friends' lives. But I came away from social media feeling all warm & cozy. Because I'm raising future fathers (hopefully a role for all four boys). When I see the difference an honorable man makes in a family, I pay extra close attention. Noticing all the adjectives that mattered: encouraging, strong, caring, protective, loving, joyful, and amazing. One friend posted that her dad had “grit”. This stood out from among the rest because it's a word you don't hear often enough. And because it was a topic fresh on my mind… Today's podcast guest, Laura Hale, defines “grit” as: The courage to show up and do something that matters in your own way. To be OK with failing and trying again. Learning and growing. Of course, I want this for my boys. But I think moms show grit. We courageously keep showing up. Even when we feel like we failed, we jump back in and try again. Laura has grit. She is launching a new line of toys for young boys, Generation Grit. Her desire is to offer an option for boys which allows for hours of reading and imaginative play. Her solution is to create a line of boys' action figures and accompanying story books based on fictitious characters from different historical eras (picture a boy's version of “American Girl”). The first of these characters is Mac Mason, a 14-year-old boy living in California in 1943. At Generation Grit, we model characters who struggle. People are wired to struggle. It's how a baby learns to walk, and it's how a child learns to read. As a mom, one of the most heartbreaking things I see is when a child chooses to stay on the sidelines because they are afraid to risk failure. In our stories, Generation Grit is committed to celebrating the willingness to face hard things, to fail sometimes, and to get back up. -Laura Hale During the podcast we chatted about: How we went to the same church at the same time and didn't know it What motivated her to create a new toy product for boys How Laura demonstrated grit in pursuing toy maker connections How boys in the 8-12 age range don't have a lot of “non-screen” toy options How quickly children grow from 8 years to mid-teens. How we can support Laura to accomplishing her dream, through Kickstarter Side notes: *My boys watched the Kickstarter video and asked if we could get a Mac action figure. Seemed like a no-brainer to me and a perfect Christmas present option.  **AND saw this article yesterday with fabulous book options for helping shape our kids “moral imagination”, not to be confused with “moralism”. Must read. ***Speaking of boy toys. . . don't forget to enter to win subscriptions to Pley or a Lego set! I added a new way to enter, by following God Centered Mom posts via email.

Heather is the mother of four young boys (born exactly, to the day, within 6 1/2 years . . . just like she'd always planned).

Get Inspired Tip #1: Thoughts On Raising Boys If you have very little boys, don't be shocked by their sin. Just like there's a flesh in us that entices us to sin, there is that same temptation in our children. Instead of asking "why," because they may not know, help them develop other responses. Give your boys a lot of opportunities to be physical. Have an expectation that your boys can also be gentlemen. Tweet to Inspire: "Each child is different. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you." - @GodCenteredMom on @Inspired2Action --> http://wp.me/pnAs1-3XA Tip #2: How To Be a God-Centered Mom Becoming God-centered isn't about what physical actions we do or how often we read the Bible, but about changing our hearts and recognizing that each part of our day is really about God. Let God lead. Intentionally allow your children to see that God is the center of your family. It's a day-by-day, moment-by-moment choice.
