For many, a new school year has begun. I have heard from mamas who are launching out into homeschooling their little ones, and they have so many concerns and fears. We all want to put our child on a path of success, but what does that really look like? Do we need to get it all right from day 1? Do we need to have rigourous curriculum and push to be above average in every area? Or can we take a deep breath and give us and our children freedom to fall in love with a lifestyle of learning? I share things I've learned from my experience homeschooling, research, books, and advice from other mamas. I hope this will be a help to those who are starting out on this beautiful journey!   Resources: NHC Podcast~ Sage Advice from a Homeschooling Mom with Rachel Woodward NHC Blog~ My Favorite Books on Homeschooling Read Aloud Revival: Sally Clarkson's Advice for Her Younger Self NHC YouTube: Our Favorite Resources and Activities for Little Ones     Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Loving the Little Years: Imitating God Ephesians 5:1, Psalm 115:4-8, 2 Corinthians 3:18 Rainier Valley Church (Family-Style Worship Service) Discussion Questions When you were a kid, who did you want to be like when you grew up and why? How did you imitate your heroes? George Bernard Shaw once famously wrote that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's the sincerity form of learning” How do we learn through imitation? Read Ephesians 5:1 and discuss what does it mean to imitate God? What are some ways that we can do this in our everyday lives? Read Psalm 115:4-8 and discuss how do people become like what they worship? What is the connection between beholding and becoming? Read 2 Corinthians 3:18 and discuss what it mean that we all with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another? What does it mean to behold the glory of the Lord? How can we do this? What does it mean to be transformed into the image of Christ? How does this happen?How can we encourage one another to behold the glory of the Lord and be transformed into his image? How can we pray for one another this week? How can we serve one another this week? What practical needs are there in our group this week? How can we hold one another accountable to mature spiritually this week? Let's take some time to pray for each other and ask for the Lord's help, power, wisdom, and guidance.

Today I'm sharing my top 10 books of 2022, and why I love them. Listen, I had a great list of books I was gonna read this year, and I read a lot of them, I did, but then I kept getting sidetracked with recommendations from friends, and I would read other books instead. And let me just pause and say I'm so glad that I did. It led to some of the most wonderful books, and I cannot wait to share them with you today.   Resources from this Episode: Join the Contentment Challenge!

Melissa Kruger and Jen Wilkin led a conversation during a session at the 2021 TGC Women's Conference titled “Gospel Parenting During the Little Years.” Each with older children now, the pair addressed questions regarding parenting their children through the younger years. From understanding accurate metrics for how difficult parenting small children should be to proactively teaching them the Bible in your home to relational vs. authoritarian leadership and choices about education, the women shared from their own experiences, both positive and negative, to encourage mothers facing similar challenges today.

Pastor Heath preaches from Matthew 19:13-15 and how we should invest in the next generation.

Diese Folge ist eine unserer absoluten Lieblingsfolgen. Wir sind auf der Suche nach dem perfekten Altersabstand. Wann sollte man anfangen ein Geschwisterkind zu zeugen? Oder wäre es doch besser ein Einzelkind groß zu ziehen? Wir sprechen mit Justus (10) und Giosué (11) jeweils über ihre Geschwister. Justus erzählt wie es ist einen sechs Jahre jüngeren Bruder zu haben und Giosué sagt uns wie es ist, einen Bruder zu haben, der nur sportliche 1,5 Jahre jünger ist. Das hat uns schon mal sehr geholfen. Isabell und Marie von Little Years, Madeleine und Camilla vom Mummy Mag und Franzi von Freche Freunde verraten uns warum sie welchen Altersunterschied bei ihren Kindern gewählt haben und ob sie diesen Unterschied empfehlen.

The Bible is the timeless word of God, but finding time to study it as a mom of young children can feel nearly impossible. Does it count as a quiet time if we’re surrounded by noisy children? How is it possible that no matter how early we wake up for Bible study, our children seem to wake up earlier? The little years bring real struggles for spending time in God’s word, but there’s hope! In this special bonus episode, Emily and Laura share a chapter from their book, Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, called, “The Little Years are Not the Lost Years.” In it, they offer encouragement and practical tips for spending time in God’s word and growing in our love for the gospel, even during busy seasons of motherhood.

Erin and Danielle introduce themselves and their project—a consideration of how the liturgical seasons can come alongside us as Christians to provide a framework for both knowing more of God, ourselves, and parenting little ones.

Why does marriage feel so hard in the little years? After pouring your energy and brain power out for your kiddos, it’s easy to offer your spouse the leftovers. In this episode, Emily and Laura invite some very special guests on the show to talk about marriage with little ones: their husbands, Brad Jensen and Mike Wifler! Dates may look different, conversations may constantly be interrupted, and serving one another may look mundane, but the gospel can breathe new life into marriage. The gospel story reminds  us of God’s faithfulness as he works in our hearts—and the joy of partnering with others in the process. We’re grateful to Crossway for making this week’s show possible. Consider grabbing a copy of Jen Wilkin’s Women of the Word to learn how to study God’s word with your heart and mind.

How are Christian women to respond to the onslaught of lies barraging them from the surrounding culture about who they are and the basis of their identity? And how is motherhood a “mission field” for the Christian woman? This week Rachel Jankovic, pastor's daughter and author based in Moscow, Idaho, tackles these questions with whit, flare, and deep biblical wisdom that's rare. Be forewarned—Scott and Alex were a bit punchy for the recording of this episode. Rachel Jankovic is a wife and mother of seven children. She is author of You Who? Why You Matter and How to Deal With It and Loving the Little Years and has been featured on sites including Desiring God. She is heavily involved with the Christ Church Ladies Bible Reading Challenge and invites you all to join in that great movement of Christian women becoming women of the word.

Does the term "self care" make you scratch your head and leave you confused and almost feeling frustrated? When you hear the term, it might make you think of the most selfish, self-centered woman you know...or it may cause you to laugh outloud, because, WHO IN THE WORLD ACTUALLY HAS TIME FOR SELF CARE?! Well, in this episode of Mom on the Fringe, I talk through my own journey in discovering what self care looks like and does not look like for me personally. I share how appealing the secular viewpoint was for me, but also how much the literal interpretation of it threw me into a tailspin and caused me to become an insatiable, unbearable monster who seemed to never get enough ME TIME. Throughout the episode, I share contents of the book "A Mother's Guide to Self Renewal" by Renee Peterson Trudeau, and I compare its contents with that of the book, "Loving the Little Years" by Rachel Jankovic. Spoiler Alert: My head loves the first book, but my heart knows the second one is actually the way I want to live out my years as a mother to 3. Stay tuned for the next episode of Mom on the Fringe!

Blog post by Erin Franco You are so going to enjoy this episode today with the lovely Erin Franco!  After we catch up a bit, we discussed Erin's blog post entitled "Coffee Talk for Young Moms" which I've quoted below for you. __________________________________________ Coffee Talk for Young Moms (by Erin Franco) Young mothers have been on my heart lately. Certainly not all young wives are mothers, and not all mothers of little ones are young wives. But in general the first few years of marriage and motherhood, wherever you are, can be incredibly difficult. For me, many times a cup of coffee and a good conversation with a Titus 2 mom friend has been much-needed moment of encouragement.  If you happen to be in desperate need of a coffee date like that, would you allow me to treat you to an e-date of sorts? I’m no expert at walking with God through the Little Years, but my heart wants so much to share some of what I’ve learned so far. So, let’s pretend that we’re at your favorite coffee shop. Just you and me. We have a cozy, private booth in the back corner of the store. Our children are all at home bonding with their fathers and eating nutritious snacks. We have both just purchased the delicious coffee drink of our choice, and there is a large, warm chocolate chunk cookie on the little table in front of us, already cut in half to share (calorie/gluten/soy/dairy/peanut-free if needed:).You have just asked me, “Erin, how do we do this all?! It seems impossible. I’m trying so hard, but I’m drowning most of the time.” Either that or I have simply picked up on the exhaustion, disenchantment and discouragement on your face.:) First, can I just tell you that I’m right there with you some days?  Now, let’s take a bite of that cookie. Because Rule #1 is that Chocolate Always Helps. (Just kidding. Sort of. Have you made this yet?!) Life has so many seasons. It’s a constant ebb and flow and stretching and coasting and then doing it all over again. We get into a good routine and then…growth spurt…job change…out-of-state move…NFP woes…natural disasters..the flu…new baby… We just can’t do it all, all the time, all at once, or all well. In fact, no other women in history have been asked to do what your average American mom is supposed to be able to do these days. And of course we’re inadequate to the task. It comes with having a God-given mission. But we mothers join the ranks of Peter, and Moses, and Joshua, and Gideon, and Mary, and a host of other Biblical heroes (and the saints!). God always gives us more than we can handle, because giving us a mission that is more than we can handle is so often the only way that He can get us to fall into His arms so that He can then do some amazing things through us. The life of faith is a never-ending re-centering of our lives on God: discerning His will and depending on his providence and trusting his timing and blooming where we’re planted. Something that helps so much in any vocation we’re in is to constantly examine ourselves. Every day is great. Every month is helpful. With our spouse is wonderful. Remember that the mission always goes back to your marriage. Fight for your marriage, and the graces of the sacrament will flow. Let your spouse point you to God, every day, whether its by his holiness or because you’re on your knees in prayer about him. And when you fail and fight and hurt one another over and over and you don’t know how to stop, remember what God wants for you. Something will change, eventually. A phone call, a new acquaintance, a change of heart, a powerful homily, a book…there are so many ways God reaches us. Things will get better, even if the “better” is only that our hearts gain peace by becoming more rooted in God. Work on your own heart, first and always, and let God work everything out in time.Remember, too, that the vocation to marriage is not all about the children. The best gift you can give to any children you have are holy, happy parents.

Most of us know evangelism is an important part of the Christian life—so why does it feel so overwhelming and awkward? Maybe you worry you’ll say the wrong thing or offend someone, but when you think about it, is there anything better or more beautiful than sharing Christ’s love? In this episode, Laura and Emily discuss some common pitfalls we experience in evangelism and the gospel hope which drives us to try again. From the people in our home to those we see in our communities, we can share the greatest news of Christ’s resurrection by simply sharing what he did and how the gospel impacts our own lives!   RM APPLY   VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Resources: Ep. 43, "Serving Others Right Where You're At" Ep. 55, "Hospitality in the Little Years" “Five Ways to Involve Young Children in Hospitality” “Why Every Young Mom Should Make Time for Ministry” RM Flyer “Everyday Evangelism” - Sarah Scott Pape “Can You Explain the Gospel in 3 Words?” - Russell Moore “Simplified Evangelism” - Erik Raymond “One Question to Unlock Your Evangelism” - J.A.

In today's episode I sit down with Lauren Eberspacher, speaker and author of the blog From Black Top to Dirt Road. Lauren shares the story of how her blog - meant to keep friends and family up to date - turned into a business, taking her all the way to becoming a regular contributor for several online publications including Her View from Home and TODAY Parenting. Lauren also shares about her struggle against postpartum depression and battling anxiety. Lauren is a mama of 3 littles and has such a tender heart for the Lord and other mamas I loved chatting with her and felt we would certainly be good friends if we could hit up some antique shops together. She's from Kansas City, so perhaps next time she's in town, we will!  Here's some of the links mentioned on this episode: Her View From Home: https://herviewfromhome.com/author/laureneberspacher/ TODAY Parenting: http://community.today.com/user/lauren-eberspacher A Week of Meal Planning from Lauren:  https://www.fromblacktoptodirtroad.com/week-meal-planning-heres-works/

Letting others into the imperfect mess of daily life is challenging in the easiest seasons, and holds particular stresses with little ones around. But should obstacles like disorganized toy rooms, meal planning, noise, and messes be a major deterrent to welcoming others in the name of Christ? In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the biblical call to hospitality, and consider its importance, even in the season of young children. Because God welcomed us into his family when we were strangers at great personal cost to himself, we can extend that same welcome to others, even when it's not convenient.
