If you missed parts 1 and 2 here are the links: Part 1 Defining special needs Part 2 1) Recognize that "special needs" vary in scope and demand 2) Recognize that special needs are nothing new Thank you for joining us!   Episode 263 Notes 3. Recognize that God's commands are the same Parent's must train children Having a special needs child doesn't negate the responsiblity to train any more than it negates our responsibility to care for them. Our culture often believers it does (it negates our responsibility to care for them) Abortion is usually the answer Giving them away as a foster child or giving them up for adoption is another way Having a special needs child means that you have a greater responsiblity to train and care Parent's must bring them up/nurture them Remember that you are not alone.  GET HELP   4.  Recognize that behavioral issues are to be solved with patient teaching and training ODD; ADHD; ADD are quite normal and will become worse if left alone A child left to himself, brings his mother to shame *** Want to hear Pastor Dave Young preach?  Westwood Baptist Church Westwood Baptist Church Podcast

Pastor Jim shares some insights on how to better communicate and navigate conflict in a godly way.

Pastor Jim unpacks many of the biblical principles regarding godly wives.

Ephesians 5:21-33, Rev. Joshua Lee. Part 15 of our series in the book of Ephesians called “Wake Up”: Is your faith asleep or wide awake? Ephesians calls us to wake up to the gospel, and become the people and church God intended in this world. Main Idea: Love & respect for Jesus leads wives to respect husbands, & husbands to love wives

Mama, seek God's wisdom and let Him transform your heart and marriage from the inside out. Marriage is hard, but God's wisdom makes all the difference! In this episode, we'll talk about how seeking God's guidance daily can change your heart and your relationship."If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." James 1:5 (ESV)

Is your marriage truly Christ-centered, or are you settling for lukewarm faith? The difference between a marriage fully built on God and one that just acknowledges Him occasionally is massive—and it impacts your intimacy, connection, and long-term success as a couple.In this episode, we're breaking down the key differences between a Christ-centered marriage and a lukewarm marriage. When God is the foundation, your marriage thrives in trust, love, and purpose. But when faith is an afterthought, struggles become heavier, intimacy fades, and division grows.A lukewarm marriage is one where faith is passive, prayer is rare, and God's design for marriage is ignored. But a Christ-centered marriage is rooted in biblical truth, where both husband and wife actively seek God, lead with love, and commit to spiritual growth together.If you feel like your marriage is coasting instead of thriving, this video will challenge you to go all in with God and build the strong, faith-filled relationship you were meant to have. Watch now and take your marriage from lukewarm to on fire for Christ!⁠Interested In Coaching? Click the Link Belowhttps://www.highlevelhusband.com/bmr-blueprint

When Chad & Adaeze Brinkman met while serving together on the worship team at church, they didn't expect that they would one day get married. They also didn't expect what it would be like to navigate a new marriage while facing cultural pressures as an interracial couple. But learning to have the hard conversations about their differences ultimately led to deeper intimacy. Today, we're delighted to have Chad and Adaeze on the podcast to share their story, and equip you with practical ways to value different perspectives as a reflection of God's design.

They think what they think for a reason.” - Chad Brinkman When we dig in we realize how much we have in common.” - Chad Brinkman “When Jesus returns, it's not going to be a ‘White Heaven' or a ‘Black Heaven.'

In this candid and biblically grounded conversation, Pastor Josh and his wife, Sharon address real questions about sex in marriage. They open by noting that every couple's situation is unique, and these answers are broad principles rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Topics include how frequently couples should be intimate (emphasizing mutual satisfaction over rigid formulas), the importance of creativity and scheduling when children are older and need constant supervision, and the role of prayer in enhancing sexual intimacy. The conversation also covers the nuances of mutual agreements in marriage, encouraging openness and service rather than grudging obligation. They highlight the importance of staying mentally engaged during intimacy and provide insights for husbands whose wives struggle to believe they are beautiful. Throughout, they emphasize humility, godliness, and mutual edification as the foundation for a thriving sexual relationship.Support the showThanks for listening!

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR

A FULL CHRISTMAS JOHN 1:1-6, 9-14, 16-17 Part 1 The Gospels of Matthew and Luke give us portraits of the “Christmas Story,” describing some of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. John begins his Gospel with a beautiful, glorious, and deeply theological description of Jesus—The Word.   John tells us: Jesus has always been. (Vs.1) Jesus is God and God with us. (Vs.1,2) Jesus is Creator. (Vs. 3,10) Jesus came to us. (Vs. 10,11 14) Jesus is light and life. (Vs. 4,5,9) Jesus knows misunderstanding. (Vs. 5) Jesus knows rejection. (Vs. 10,11) Jesus is Savior. (Vs. 12) Jesus is full of grace and truth. (Vs. 14,16,17)   How can we exemplify Christ and have a FULL Christmas?   1.) Be Present.  Jesus is with us. (Immanuel Isaiah 7:14, 8:8) (Emmanuel Matthew 1:23) It is GRACE for us to be more interested and invested in ENJOYING the family and festivities, rather than DOING or MAKING the festivities. (This is a hard balance…convicting for servant minded Mama's.)   2.) Embrace Creativity.  Jesus created a beautiful world. The beauty of Christmas and Christmas decor can reflect His creation and can teach truth. (Nativity, history, Carols) *Don't be a Humbug ;) *Don't go to the other extreme and get caught up in comparison or frustration.

“You have to have a standard that the two people involved in a relationship agree to. That's what really makes it sing and makes it successful. And that can overcome obstacles at times—all the time. It always works.” In this episode, Sierra Bergman interviews Rev. and Mrs. Don Lomax (Don and Jeanetter) on Biblical keys to a successful marriage.

What does Biblical Womanhood Look Like? Consider the word virtuous It involves cultivating strength Virtuous is Strong in purity, chastity, and righteousness Modern dictionaries get it all wrong One strives to be virtuous to appear to be better than others Bible- it doesn't make you better but priceless Dictionaries: Collins - to do what is expected and feeling pleased with themselves, perhaps too pleased Cambridge - Thinks oneself morally better than others, only does good so he can feel virtuous Oxford - behaving in a very good or moral way, irreproachable, claiming to behave better or have a higher moral standard than others. Modern philosophies get it wrong: A strong woman follows her heart The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked She shows her authentic self In my flesh dwells no good thing She cultivates her own interests Be kindly affectioned one to another . . . in honor preferring She is self-aware and continually growing into herself For me to live is Christ and to die is gain She stands up for herself and and is not afraid to share her thoughts and ideas regardless of what others think She speaks her heart and mind Whoso keeps his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from trouble Proverbs 21:23 Same word for going into battle Root is to twist, writhe, twirl, dance The Virtuous woman is strong She is prepared for battle She cha-cha-chas her way through her busy days Cf. Ephesians 6 She is strong 6:10 She is ready for battle 6:11 She is prepared for whatever comes her way 6:13 It involves cultivating a strong relationship with God v. 30 A woman who fears the Lord Can't get enough of God Is in awe of God Will be praised
