Find the show notes for this episode HERE.Have you ever asked yourself… Why are my boys so WILD?  Why do they have so much energy? Why are they so loud and rambunctious and aggressive?  In today's episode, we're going to find out where this wildness comes from.WELCOME TO THE SWORD AND STORY PODCAST! The Sword and Story podcast is dedicated to helping Christian parents discover exciting, faith-filled books for their boys—stories packed with courage, honor, and adventure. If you're looking for books for your boys with thrilling storytelling from a Christian worldview, then you're in the right place.Join us as we explore books that will help our boys grow to be strong, courageous warriors for the Kingdom of God. I'm your host, Laurie Christine. I'm the author of the Dragon Slayer Bible Series, adventure-packed biblical fiction for 8-12 year old boys. I'm also a wife and mom to 4 wild, wonderful young men. My boys are currently 9, 10, 13, and 14.I am busy interviewing and scheduling authors for the new episodes of the Sword and Story podcast. Those new author interviews will be airing later this summer. But in the meantime, I think it's important that we take some time to understand how God created our boys. Last week we listened to an interview with Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA. If you missed that episode, go back and listen to episode 2 of the sword and story podcast and you can find that at swordandstorypodcast.com. In that episode, Mark and I discussed how we can let our boys be boys.This week, we're tackling the question:  Why are my boys so wild? Why are they so loud? Why do they have so much energy? If we want to find books that will help our boys to become strong, courageous warriors for God's Kingdom, we need to understand some of the core desires that God has given boys. That's what we're going to talk about in today's episode.

I know I have!  I would estimate about 95% of conflict and parenting challenges in our household stems from sibling conflict. Welcome to Redeeming the Chaos. I'm your host, Laurie Christine. I'm an author, Bible teacher, wife, and mom to four wild, wonderful boys. I would love for you to join me on this adventure of raising courageous warriors for the Kingdom of God.As moms of young men, we know that fighting among boys often gets very physical. While girls may sulk and hold a grudge for weeks on end, boys tend to explode with big emotions and lash out physically at whichever sibling is nearest to them.  (this is a generality. I'm sure you can tell me stories of your girls who have broken out into fist fights as well)So, what causes these fights and quarrels? If you didn't pick up on it, this question is a quote from James chapter 4. I'll read the rest of the passage here:“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don't they come from the evil desires at war within you? 2 You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can't get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.”Does that sound familiar?  Our kids have strong desires. Maybe they want the biggest piece of cake for dessert. Maybe they want the best, squishiest chair for movie night, or the front seat in the minivan. Maybe they want to be treated fairly, maybe they just want to be left alone. (Granted, not all these desires are evil… but often a big desire is the underlying cause of sibling conflict). And look what the verse says… you scheme and kill… you are jealous… you fight and wage war… all this in order to get what you want.  Sound familiar? Now, hopefully the conflict in our homes has not escalated  to the point of killing… however, in the book of Matthew Jesus says “hating” someone is just as bad as “murdering them” in our hearts. So, how do we deal with the conflict that inevitably arises between siblings? How can we teach our kids to show kindness and love to each other, rather than seeking revenge? We have a guest on the show today to help us answer these questions. "B.J.

When I heard about Laurie Christine's Dragon Slayer Bible series, I was so excited.  I mean, Bible stories retold as fantasy elements?  Listen in and learn what happens with Seth, the third named son of Adam and Eve goes on a quest to find out more about this Chosen One and how to defeat this dragon. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.   My brain is going into over-drive as I consider all the things that Laurie Christine could do with this series.  The lineage of Christ's stories told as fantasy as the world falls further from Eden and needs their Savior more each day. All in a world of beasts and dragons and... Oh, my!  Buckle up, it's going to be a great ride... um, read!  And Christmas is coming, so if you've got a kid on your list who has "everything," I bet this is something he didn't know he wanted or something she didn't know she needed. Garden of Mysteries by Laurie Christine  An ancient curse. An invisible dragon. A mysterious prophecy. Seth's parents have secrets they won't share with him. Why did the King kick them out of the garden and curse the land? And can the curse be broken? Finding answers to Seth's questions will prove more dangerous than he imagined. Can he discover the truth before the dragon destroys him? Frank Peretti meets The Jesus Storybook Bible in this action-packed biblical fiction story that will inspire readers to identify lies of the dragon and to put their trust in the dragon slayer. Seth's story takes place in a post-fall world where ferocious beasts lurk in the darkness and thorns and thistles cover the land. When Seth learns of an ancient prophecy about the Chosen One, he sets off on a quest to find the one who will break the curse.

In this episode of Redeeming the Chaos, the Laurie Christine discusses the concept of the fruit of the Spirit. Guest Christy Thomas, a mom of three boys and an author with extensive experience in Children's Ministries, shares her insights on nurturing deep faith in children through small habits. They discuss common misconceptions about the fruit of the Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit in fostering these qualities, and practical ways parents can instill these values in their kids. Christy also introduces her books Fruit Full, a family devotional on the fruit of the Spirit, and Little Habits Big Faith, which focuses on forming small, impactful habits to nurture faith in children.

The youth exodus is a very real concern for Christian parents. Much of CP/CW's content is aimed at assuaging this falling away from the faith in our youth.   But what does a parent do when they have a child who is questioning or has left the faith? How do you parent the prodigal child?   Catherine answers these questions with hard-earned, first-hand experience by offering these vital guidelines:   1. Love your child unconditionally, regardless of what they think, say, or do. 2. Rid the obstacles in your child's life in prayer. 3. Recognize and respect what stage of parenting you are in: Caregiver, Cop, Coach, or Counselor. 4. Prayerfully establish Godly boundaries. Blessings come from boundaries. 5. Apologize for mistakes. Humility is a bridge builder. 6. Do not try to convince or convict your child. That is the Holy Spirit's job. 7. Do not coerce or control your child. That is how the enemy works.  8. Remember that your child does not need a sermon. They need an encounter with God.   Laced throughout this advice are keen insights and critical direction on how to build a strong relationship with a teen or adult child who is on the prodigal path. There are things that can help to draw a child closer to God, and there are things that may seem right but are, in fact, counterproductive. They may push a child further from God.   When a child questions the faith, we must patiently answer their questions. If they leave the faith, we must love them with no strings attached and fervently pray for them to have an encounter with God. Loving our kids like Christ while not compromising truth is the most important way we can minister to them in a place of wandering or doubt.   Joining Catherine in the hosting chair is Laurie Christine, an author, podcast host, Biblical Parenting Coach, wife, and mom of four loud, adventurous boys. Her podcast, Redeeming the Chaos, invites moms of boys to join her on the wild, wonderful adventure of raising courageous boys and connecting them with Christ Her new devotional book for boys, Rise of the Enemy, was released on Amazon last year.   EPISODE RESOURCES:   EPISODE 14: How To Battle for Your Kids in Prayer   Get Catherine's Prodigal Bundle including a Scripture Prayer List for Children Who Have Left the Faith: Subscribe HERE Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Studies show that a majority of kids raised in Christian homes are leaving the faith when they leave the nest. It is vital that we understand the primary reasons why young people no longer believe if we want to help them return to the faith.   In this episode, Catherine airs an important conversation she had recently on the Redeeming the Chaos Podcast with Laurie Christine. Catherine and Laurie discuss new research which tells us why young people are bailing on Christianity. Highlighted are the 7 most prominent reasons Gen Zrs cite for walking away from the Christian faith. They are:   1. I have a hard time believing that a good God would allow so much evil or suffering in the world (29%): see EPISODE 66 w/ Dr. Douglas Groothuis 2. Christians are hypocrites (23%) 3. I believe science refutes too much of the Bible (20%) See Dr. Stephen Meyer: Signature in the Cell, The Return of the God Hypothesis, and Darwin's Doubt; also see Dr. John Lennox (The “God Delusion “ Debate with Richard Dawkins) 4. I don't believe in fairy tales (19%) see “The Case for Christ” & “The Case for Christ for Kids” by Lee Strobel 5. There are too many injustices in the history of Christianity (15%) see Episode 9: How Does Christian Worldview Creates the World We all Want to Live”, see Episodes 93, 94, & 95 w/ Os Guinness 6. I used to go to church, but it's just not important to me anymore (12%) 7. I had a bad experience in church/with a Christian (6%) see Episodes 39, 40, 41, & 42; see “When Narcissism Comes to Church: Healing Your Community from Emotional & Spiritual Abuse” by Dr. Chuck DeGroat   Catherine offers some helpful resources to consult if a child you know has embraced one of these claims about Christianity, and she and Laurie also offer some helpful resources for discipling younger kids in the faith.   BIO: Laurie Christine is an author, podcast host, Biblical Parenting Coach, wife, and mom of four loud, adventurous boys.

This season we celebrate our ultimate Hero, Jesus Christ, who defeats not just sin and suffering but our ancient serpentine enemy.

Keeping Christ at the center of Christmas is a huge challenge. Busy parents are constantly pushed and pulled a hundred different directions, especially at the holidays. Our event calendar in December can look like a flow-chart from an international airport with constant departures and arrivals. It is easy to forget Christ in the hustle and bustle of baking, shopping, wrapping, and party-hopping.   How do we keep our families focused on Christ during the hectic holiday season? Bethany Kimsey, host of the Warrior Mama Podcast, joins Catherine again to discuss how to keep our hearts and our families concentrated on Christ during the Christmas season. These two moms have over 40 years of parenting experience, and in this episode, they share their favorite Christ-centered family traditions. These traditions are:   *Don't compare yourself to other families. *Study the names of Jesus. *Celebrate Advent. *Watch Christ-centered entertainment. *Create a Jesse Tree. *Assign Scripture passages to each family member for Christmas. *Educate your kids and give to a Christ-centered mission. *Celebrate Jolaboklaflod (an evening of book-giving) with Christ-centered books.   Employing some of these wonderful family traditions will help counteract the busyness, the commercialism and materialism, and the overall stress of Christmas. Bethany's bio: As a mother to 8 children, Bethany Kimsey has seen God radically change her messy motherhood from weary, anxious, and frantic to peaceful, joyful, and triumphant. She helps weary mothers win the battle against worry and fatigue as they understand their identity in Christ and rest in the hope of the Gospel in community with other moms.   Bethany recently authored A Warrior Mama's Prayer Journal to help mothers pray intentionally over their children and anchor in gospel truths.

Laurie Christine King, better known as LCK, is the co-founder of Paragon Training Methods, a business she built to fulfill the need for a sustainable approach to training. Paragon isn't your average membership program, and that's not by accident. LCK has shown that when you put your people first, the rest—the results, the paychecks, and the success—follows. Building Paragon took blood, sweat, and tears, but in LCK's words: “If you approach your business with an expectation of results, it's like watching paint dry. The magic is going to happen when it happens. You have to stop micromanaging it, and just let it go.”     Connect with LCK!

In the 11th episode of Shoot The Shit, my long-form conversations with awesome people in the fitness industry, I get to finally meet LCK - Laurie Christine King. LCK and I became Instagram friends through our shared connections and I instantly developed an admiration for her work ethic, the ability to carve out a niche audience and develop a brand around it. LCK is the co-founder of Paragon Training Methods. Paragon Training Methods is an online fitness company with thousands of clients across the world. Like any online fitness brand, their audience resonates with the creator's backstory and unique belief in fitness. PTM is no different. LCK has undergone several ups and downs with her own body image, fitness, and health. When she decided to step away from the competitive CrossFit scene after another serious injury, she re-evaluted her belief in fitness, paired with co-founder Bryan Boorstien and they launched a brand that caters to women (and some men) who want to be "Strong and Well Fed".
