Podcast appearances and mentions of Heather M Dixon

This month, Denise has been discussing renewing our mindset and we are continuing our discussion on finding hope with author Heather M. Dixon, author of “Renewed: Finding Hope When You Don’t Like Your Story.” Join us for part two as we discuss the truth that hope is not dependent on anyone else than our faithful, trustworthy God.

This week to continue the discussion of renewing of our mindset, we will turn our attention to a part of mind renewal—finding hope. With me to help do that is my friend Heather M. Dixon, author of the book “Renewed: Finding Hope When You Don’t Like Your Story.” Listen in as she encourages us that when we are in Christ, there is hope in every circumstance.

Is our future written in stone? Or do you have the power to change it? Heather M. Dixon was one of our a guests today, and she wrote the book, Renewed, Finding Hope When you Don't Like your Story. She used the biblical story of Ruth to demonstrate that you can change your current and future situation, and in fact that God wants you to take action to improve your life. Then, Mark Griswold examined whether we can change our future even after we have made mistakes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michelle-m-mendoza/message

Dixon, as she shares her story along with her new book, Renewed: Finding Hope When You Don't Like Your Story.  Heather encourages anyone who is carrying a difficult story and cannot change to trust that God can give them hope.  Heather's words are just what we need to hear with everything going on in the world today.  We hope you enjoy!

Mary DeMuth joins me to share her story of being sexual abused as a 5 year old girl and how God re-storied her through the ministry of Young Life.  Mary also shares how the church can redemptively respond to the sexual abuse crisis. Questions Mary and I Discussed: (5:23) You say, "Not only have I been restored, I have been re-storied."  Take us back to your childhood and share what happened to you at 5 years old? (13:03)  What were some of those wounds that you carried with you and likely continue to work through today? (17:27) What were your teens years like? (20:10) At 15, you met Jesus through Young Life.  Tell us about that experience. (29:00) You have written, "He changed my I was statements into I am statements."  Will you share some of those with us? (31:21) One of your recent books is We Too: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis. First, what are some ways we are missing the mark? (37:19) As followers of Jesus, what are some ways we can respond redemptively to sexual abuse? Quotes to Remember: "It's extremely rare for a child to tell, so the fact that I did is surprising, but the sad thing is the babysitter did nothing." "I was thinking to myself, not a soul in this world cares about me, no one's gonna take care of me." "I would say the greatest wound is or the greatest manifestation of my sexual abuse.... is disconnection. When all this abuse was happening, I would disassociate and fly away in my mind."

Lynn Cowell joins me to discuss the importance of being available, approachable, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to develop our children's gifts, particularly our daughters. Questions Lynn and I Discussed: (5:16) Share how you came to know Jesus (6:33) Take us back to when your daughters were young. What were their personalities like? (9:33) What were some of the intentional steps you took to develop a strong relationship with them at a young age? (12:10) How did you experience the benefits of that as they became teens and now adults? (19:09) One of the biggest fears I face is the fear of not having a close relationship with my kids as they get older and become adults.  How would you encourage someone like me, who has an 8 year old daughter, to develop that strong mother/daughter relationship in the early years? (23:58) In our world today there are so many conflicting messages for young girls and women about what makes you a strong woman.  When you began facing that reality as a mom, how did you teach your daughters about being kind and gentle, yet bold and courageous? (31:40)  What do you hope a girl walks away with upon completion of your Loved and Cherished devotional? SHOW NOTES cont.

www.graceenoughpodcast.com Ted Turnau and Jared Moore join me to discuss how becoming familiar with pop culture and discussing it with our children actually helps them engage their world for Christ. Questions Ted, Jared and I Discussed: (5:14) What led you to write the pop culture parent? (9:24) How do you define pop culture? (10:41) Christians tend to avoid or forbid anything related to pop culture, whether it be R-rated movies or secular music, what are some of the dangers in taking that approach? (12:18) Ted you've said, “Popular culture shapes imagination and inner worlds. It creates connections between them and their friends. They need parents to help them see how the gospel shines in contrast to what the world offers. They need training in discernment and wisdom as ambassadors of Christ to their friends. They need to learn the cultural language of the land to which God calls them: their own culture.” How can we go about engaging popular culture with our kids now to help them see the gospel in contrast to the world? (22:40) For the parent of a toddler or early elementary child that may be listening, provide an example of how they can engage their child in their interests now to begin laying a foundation for more spiritual conversations later? (33:34) Will you walk us through the 5 Simple Questions to ask about popular culture?  (41:21) What final encouragement do you have for parents? Quotes to Remember: "Popular culture is not the equivalent to bad culture, which is what a lot of Christians take it to mean." -Ted "This is a popular culture world that we live in. Do we want to train our children to live in this world? Or do we want to train them to live in a world that doesn't exist? You can't evangelize in that world that doesn't exist. We live in this world and so let us train our children to be in this popular cultural world but not of it." -Jared SHOW NOTES cont.

www.graceenoughpodcast.comMary Flo Ridley joins me to talk about simple, foundational conversations to have with our children, ranging from toddlers to teens, that will shape their sexual health for years to come.Questions Mary Flo and I Discussed:(4:25) Even in 2020, I have conversations with friends who cringe when it comes to having the “birds and bees” talk with their children.  We deal with questions like when is it the right time, what should I say, and so on, but Birds and Bees is all about getting rid of this idea that this is a one-time conversation in parenting. What are you hoping to see in exchange?(9:12) Let’s begin by talking to the parents who have toddlers, what is a conversation pattern they can establish to show their children they are the loving authority on the topic of their bodies?(13:36) What are some key conversations and general language parents can practice with their elementary age children?(19:11) The average age someone first sees pornography is 11 yo and are as likely to see it accidentally as on purpose.  How do you encourage parents to deal with discussing pornography with their children?(27:20) For parents of middle and high school age children (or really all young parents), talking about masturbation and puberty feels daunting. How do you encourage parents to address this topic?(32:30) Birds & Bees offers a curriculum. What can one expect if they use your curriculum?(36:15) Do you have any encouragement for the parent who feels like they are “behind” or have failed to create an open dialogue surrounding sex and our bodies?(39:38) Lastly, what are some books and other resources you would recommend to parents on this topic?Quotes to Remember:“What is the main thing you want your children to know about sex? If they’re growing up in your family? If you could give that answer in one sentence? What would that sentence be?”SHOW NOTES cont.Related Episodes:71: Krista Boan | Tips For Parents In The Digital Age54: Nick Stumbo | Discovering Freedom From Pornography90: Hillary Morgan Ferrer | Empowering Kids to Challenge Cultural LiesEpisode Sponsor:Heather M.
