You don't have to be around kids for very long before you realize that they are naturals at sinning! They need Jesus just as much as you and I do, but how do you help them understand what He did? Laura Booz, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, and Barbara Reaoch (REE-ock) share about that on Revive Our Hearts Weekend. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/453/29

What does the world call success? What does God call success? Laura Booz used a music video to ask her kids those questions.

We are called to love others with the love that God has for us. Laura Booz shows how you don't have to be a public figure to do that.

If you feel weary of raising your children, it helps to see them (and yourself) from God's perspective.

Today we are going to be “Learning about God through the gift of motherhood.” Being a mother is a hard job. One that can make us feel unseen and uncelebrated as we go about our daily “mom tasks” of serving, cleaning, caring, guiding, and much more. It's no doubt, a challenging call by God. Here to encourage both new and seasoned moms is Laura Booz, author of the book, “Expect Something Beautiful: Finding God's Good Gifts in Motherhood.” Laura wants to share with us that behind all of the giving that mothers do is the receiving of something special—a profound growth in God that is cultivated through motherhood's everyday ups and downs.Coffee and Bible Time Prayer Journal - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/product-page/prayer-journalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer Binder - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/product-page/prayer-binderCoffee and Bible Time Church Group Promo - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/coursesBook - Expect Something Beautiful: https://amzn.to/3TeQwAxWebsite: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/laurabooz.comBible: https://amzn.to/3s94kAIPens: https://amzn.to/3s9riHEPost-It Notes: https://amzn.to/3geMadTJournal: https://amzn.to/3go1UeVFavorite App: YouVersion 5 Day Reading Plans: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/youversion--

We started this podcast six months ago, hoping to inspire you toward fulfilling your Life Calling. Lessons in each episode became part of our reason to take that brave next step in our purpose. Today, we wrap up the year with an awesome round-up of highlights from guest interviews. In the course of the past six months, we shared conversations with great guests who brought their understanding and experience of Life Calling. Every guest gave us something to hold onto. They made us think, laugh, and cry. With every conversation, we always left inspired. The guests shared important and diverse work related to their individual callings, whether working in nonprofit or managing parenthood. Listen to this collection of important epiphanies and insights as told by people that contribute to the world from their Life Calling. Today's episode is filled with roughly 2-minute clips from guests throughout this year's episodes. I'll introduce each clip for you, so you can sit back and relax. You may find yourself wanting to go back to listen to entire episodes over. That may be a good idea. You can always learn something new.

Your Life Calling is not restricted to a job title or personal brand; it can be a life role. Parental figures are the first example of the world to any child. What does it mean to fulfill Life Calling through being a parent? Today's episode is a conversation with the adventurous and caring Spencer Smith on finding Life Calling through fatherhood. Spencer Smith is someone I highly respect. He is the husband of Annie, and father of three boys. When the boys were much younger, Spencer and Annie came to a decision on their dynamic to maintain a healthy environment for the family. Spencer took on the role of the primary caregiver, while Annie took on a full-time career as a physical therapist. Agreeing to this dynamic allowed Spencer to be a stay-at-home parent for 14 years with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. We talked about motherhood as a calling in episode 16 with Laura Booz, and now we're highlighting fatherhood. Spencer shares what it was like to make that first crucial decision to stay home with his young boys. He shares why focusing on the skill set of each person in the relationship can help parents come to an agreement on a parental dynamic. After communicating with each other, Spencer and Annie's parenting became about staying committed. There was pushback, and the couple lost a few friends, but together they took things one day at a time. Spencer is not only a father, but he still recognizes himself as an individual. Professionally, Spencer is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) working part-time in accounting and finance. He also holds a passion for mission work and adventure. In this conversation, Spencer honestly shares his thoughts on taking time to regroup when feeling overwhelmed, the joy of long-term gains from early efforts, and being a role model as best as any imperfect human can try to be while raising other imperfect humans. We often feel that we have to choose between work and family. We often think we must split duty from fulfillment. That's not true. We can do both. Spencer is an example of that. Time stamps: [00:18] - Spencer Smith acts as the primary caregiver for his three boys. How else does he identify himself? [02:31] - Spencer says he originally went to school for Psychology. After exploring multiple degrees, he found his way to Accounting. [04:32] - When Spencer and Annie agreed on him being the primary caregiver, Spencer says he didn't have any other examples to follow. [07:01] - Did Spencer experience any pushback for choosing to be a stay-at-home father? [09:12] - What is the best part of being the primary caregiver? What is the most challenging part of being the primary caregiver? [11:03] - Spencer recalls how much his boys changed. Listen to him reminisce about going on trips with his sons. [13:19] - Spencer describes how the idea of Life Calling relates to fatherhood. [15:48] - How does Spencer's faith impact how he approaches his role as a dad? [18:11] -  Spencer's commitment to fatherhood gave him priceless long-term benefits. [20:38] - Listen to Spencer share what he'd like his parenting to be summed up as if his sons describe him. [23:33] - Here is Spencer's advice for first-time dads. [26:13] - Friends, thank you for listening and engaging! Catch you next time! Links: Chris Heinz Chris Heinz Co.

We know that motherhood makes high demands. Yet we know it's worth it. Some days we may feel like no one sees us or wonder if our daily investments are even making a difference. Because let's be honest; motherhood is not glamorous. Days and weeks can go by without an ounce of appreciation, without any special moments, without any “it's all worth it!” epiphanies. Maybe you feel like some sort of defective woman who is selfish and like a fraud because you are feeling the weight and perhaps the disappointment of motherhood not being all that you expected it to be.

God ordained families from the very beginning. Mothers are used as a metaphor to describe the ways God loves and cares for His children. My guest Laura Booz talks about expecting something beautiful in motherhood, is motherhood good?  “Look for the gift of Jesus being right by your side. And envision Him holding your child close to His heart even closer than you can.” Laura shares from her book, Expect Something Beautiful: The Essential Gifts of Motherhood. In her chat, she highlights some essential gifts of motherhood, like prayer, God's word, and Jesus being by our side. She touches on the biblical principles found in Isaiah 40:11 to encourage mothers to strive for their higher calling. Naturally, moms are self-sacrificial people, yet true satisfaction is simply found when we put all our weight on Jesus or as Laura calls it “a free fall entirely on Jesus.” “I turn to Him with confession, I mourn what must be mourn, I ask Him for help in areas of weakness and sin, and then I look for blessings that I have overlooked. We must thank Him for that and it changes the lens that we're walking through.”

Laura Booz is a farm wife, homeschooling mom to six, and author of the new book, Expect Something Beautiful: Finding God's Good Gifts in Motherhood. In this episode, Laura shares how she has experienced God's love and care in profound ways through her mothering, and she invites us to join her in seeking God's presence as we homeschool our kids.You can find show notes for this episode at https://homeschoolcompass.com/podcast/Order your copy of Expect Something Beautiful here: https://bit.ly/3lW8p8KConnect with Laura at https://www.laurabooz.com/

Author and mom Laura Booz speaks with Dannah Gresh about one of God's good gifts in motherhood: that of kindness.

How can a busy mom spend one-on-one time with the Lord when her attention is dominated by the needs of her family? That's something Laura Booz tackles.

There are certain lessons that are universal. Lessons that contain a virtue or truth help people to approach similar situations with the wisdom they gained. Today's guest, Laura Booz, can share lessons from Motherhood that help people understand their calling. Listen as Laura explains her views of motherhood as a calling, why mothers struggle in motherhood, and how to deal with the uncertain times of the maternal journey. Laura Booz is a mother of six, a farm wife, a speaker, and author. Her book, Expect Something Beautiful: Finding God's Good Gifts in Motherhood, is filled with wise, authentic, and practical teachings for moms. Friend, I can say that you don't have to be a mom to gain strong takeaways from this conversation. Laura shares advice about committing to a calling, feeling the pull of a calling, and living out a calling. These lessons compliment each other as they come together. At the start, Laura builds the foundation of the conversation with a surfing analogy. The imagery of searching for a great wave, and catching a great wave. She says her experience writing her book reflects that feeling of navigating and figuring things out. With her book, Laura found an opportunity to position herself in being a mother and writer. It's all about catching the right moment when things come together. Sometimes motherhood is a clear open door that is welcoming and undeniable. Other times, motherhood is not glamorous, and seems to be difficult to continue following. However, the true beauty of the role lies in each mother being specifically called into the role and learning how to be faithful within the role. Listen to Chris and Laura speak on listening to your calling, evolving with your calling, and understanding calling based on quotes from Laura's book. There is power in the faithfulness of following your calling, and there are people and generations who will be influenced by that faithfulness.

[05:57] - Laura says she never thought she would write a book about motherhood, until she realized her insight is useful to others outside of herself. [08:28] - There are times the pull of your calling is so strong, it barely feels optional. [11:03] - Motherhood is not always glamorous, but Laura emphasizes how the beauty of the role lies in each mother being specifically called into the role. [12:35] - Chris and Laura speak on mothers being life-givers despite the “thankless” and “unseen” aspects that can exist in motherhood.  [15:30] - The calling of motherhood is profound and redemptive. [16:33] - What are Laura's thoughts about motherhood versus personal potential? Is there an intersection of both? [19:00] - In motherhood, your efforts will be honored as you maintain the faith of the efforts you sow. [21:20] - Believe in the blooming of your child, but also believe in the blooming of yourself. Laura shares the idea of growth as women go through motherhood. [23:34] - Sometimes moms might feel as if they are lacking in their purpose of life, but anyone in life in service holds a specialized purpose.

As a child, Laura Booz once found herself sinking under water. In the process she learned quite a bit about the need we all have to be rescued.

When you try to serve others, do you end up feeling depleted? Laura Booz reflects on this as she ponders a generous gift equaling about ninety cents.

When you forget to plan an ending, the consequences can be disastrous. Laura Booz discovered that while public speaking. It's true for your whole life as well.

Who do you call in a crisis? Laura Booz was confronted by that question when her friend struggled to breathe on a snowy day.

Balloon dart painting seemed like it would be a perfectly romantic date activity. That's what Laura Booz thought. But . . .

Tara Barthel shares how God led her on the journey of peacemaking, and she explains how we can be people of peace.

Laura Booz found a mysterious note on her driveway. When she read the cryptic words, would she respond in fear or draw closer to the Lord in faith?

Laura Booz was lost in the woods without a flashlight. While wandering around, a gum wrapper taught her something important about the light.
