Is the pressure of life getting you down? What if the spiritual answer was to have more fun? Joy really is a fruit of the Spirit. Our guest is Mandy Arioto the President and CEO of Mother's Of Pre Schoolers International. We talk about her book-Have More Fun:How to be Remarkable, Stop Feeling Stuck and Start Enjoying Life.  Show notes at: http://christconnection.cc/podcast/ 

As a busy mom, does fun feel frivolous? Have you forgotten how to laugh and enjoy life? Today, our amazing guest Mandy Arioto (mom to teens and CEO of MOPS International) shares the inspirational story of how she rediscovered fun as a parent and how it revolutionized her family. She'll also share the fascinating reasons why having fun helps us live more productive, charismatic, and God-honoring lives.

Many of us struggle to make time for fun. With so many practical needs shouting for our attention, we forget to value it and honor it like we do with other important habits. Mandy Arioto, president and CEO of MOPS International, joins us to share how she weaves creative fun into her friendships, marriage, family, and world. We talk about how friendships flourish when a person stops trying to be cool and instead goes over the top, why Mandy put on her wedding dress at the beach for her ten year anniversary, and how the absurd actually cements memories for a lifetime. You will be inspired to welcome spice back into your days and kick boredom out the door!

On this week's episode Coleen and Angela will be discussing MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) with Stephanie Schumacher. Stephanie has written a wonderful article about MOPS. Check out Stephanie's article Why Your Church (and You, Believer) Should Stop Associating with MOPS International. Check out our more extensive resource sheet for this episode here. A Note From Coleen: Theology Gals exists to encourage women in the study of God's Word, sound theology and discernment. When we became aware of the problems with MOPS International, we knew this was an important topic that needed to be addressed. I have spent a lot of my time the last month researching MOPS, including reading Mandy Arioto's (President and CEO of MOPS) books and speaking with ladies that are currently and were previously involved in MOPS, some in leadership positions. We are aware that women have various experiences with MOPS as each program can be run differently. We are also aware that some of these programs are diligent in sharing the gospel clearly each week, which we are grateful for. We have been informed of a possible gospel presentation in the MOPS Christmas and/or Easter videos. Our concerns are still the same. The true gospel is not clear in Mandy's books and it is not central to the MOPS program. While we state our case strongly, we are not saying anything new. I think most, if not all of  our concerns have been communicated by others to both Mandy Arioto and the MOPS board. You can find the same concerns in "1 star" reviews regarding Mandy's books on both Amazon and ChristianBook. Sarah Wilkins brought up many of the same concerns in 2016 in her Open Letter to MOPS. As I mention at the end of the episode "when the faith is on the line, the tone is necessarily strong" quoting this article. I have spoken with women that have brought their concerns to MOPS and some that even spoke with Mandy directly. I'm aware of some of the responses and accusations that may come our way. We are speaking out because we love God and our neighbor, because we love The Church, . I know that one of MOPS responses to concerns has to do with the number of women that "get saved" at MOPS each year. I have heard stories of some of the testimonies of these women and I'm convinced that some counted in those numbers have no idea what the gospel is. This means they still need the gospel. I have no doubt that some women have come to saving faith in Christ through MOPS programs, I've spoken with a few myself. However, we believe that it is necessary for doctrinally sound, gospel preaching churches, to separate from MOPS. We discuss the reasons in detail in the episode. ~Coleen Sharp Theology Gals host All correspondence should be sent to theologygals@gmail.com Episode Resources: Extended Resource sheet for this episode Discernment: Growing Up In Christ Theology Gals Episode What is the Gospel?

I'm with the wonderful Mandy Arioto, the CEO of MOPS International. Mandy shares about her latest book Have More Fun and the journey that took her from an achievement driven life to a life of richness and enjoyment. Mandy also shares why she painted a soldier pink and why we should muster up one audacious "ask" a week.     In this episode we discuss: 1. Why we all need to learn to have more fun 2. The difference between fake fun and real fun 3. A key to learning to have more fun as a mom     Favorite quotes: 1. Isn't that kinda how our lives work? It's like taking that next step, saying yes and having no clue where that will take us but it will always turn out in remarkable ways. 2. What I recognize over the course of choosing to have more fun is that one of the most important things I can do as a parent is to enjoy my kids and to really embrace all the nuances in any given season they are in. 3. A really essential part of me being a more fun mom was loving whatever stage we were in. 4. When we're not afraid to ask, door open for us that never would have before. 5. I think it's really important to differentiate between fake fun and real fun because real fun restores our body, rejuvenates our soul and fake fun really depletes our reserves. 6. We really need to differentiate for ourselves and determine what do we enjoy.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I have terrible social anxiety. Can you help me feel more confident around others?  (38:49) 2. If someone wanted to start reading the bible for personal growth, where would you have them start? (46:00) 3. How do I balance the work I need to do now with my creative dreams for future projects? (48:28)   Links to great things we discussed 1. Mandy Arioto 2. Have More Fun 3. Pink- Walk Me Home 4.

#94: Heading towards the last hurrah of summer, we’re letting our hair down, celebrating our sensuality, and re-awakening our sense of wonder. We're also posing one of my favorite mom questions: Why do we struggle to look like we're perfect when the people we love the most are the ones who are fancy free with their imperfections? Our guest Mandy Arioto, mother to three young children, is the president and CEO of MOPs International: "a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers.” Mandy has been featured on MSN.com, theknot.com, the nest.com, and Fox. She writes: “Carl Jung suggests that becoming whole means bringing together that which has been torn apart. Whether that is light and darkness, feminine and masculine, conscious and unconscious, we are whole when we embrace both.” You can find her new book "Starry-Eyed: Seeing Grace in the Unfolding Constellation of Life and Motherhood" on atomicmoms.com.

Drum roll please... My guest for episode 22 is MOPS President and CEO Mandy Arioto! Mandy represents "the mothering voice" of MOPS, an international organization with over 100,000 members. If you are a mom with young kids (birth to kindergarten) and you aren't plugged into MOPS, stop what you're doing and get involved! Being a part of a safe community of other moms has saved me during my time as a new mama, and I know it will bless you!   In this episode, you'll hear about how Mandy was first introduced to MOPS (as a new mom who was in need of support), just like so many of us. A few years later, she and her husband Joe decided to move with their kids to Colorado so Mandy could work directly for the organization that was there for her in those early years of motherhood.  You'll also hear what inspired this year's MOPS theme, "We Are the Starry Eyed" and get all the details about Mandy's new book, "Starry-Eyed: Seeing Grace in the Unfolding Constellation of Life and Motherhood." It is set to release on August 30, so get over to Amazon and order it now!   We all want our kids to feel loved and supported, and that starts with us. We have to set the example ourselves. As moms, we need encouragement and the reminder that we are chosen. We are loved. We are not alone. Even when it feels like there is darkness all around us, we can search for and find the light. Together. And when we need courage, or strength, we know that "we can take our sisters with us."   Don't miss this week's episode, "Starlight and Sister Courage."

On Episode 41, Tesi and Leslie interview Mandy Arioto, the president and CEO of MOPS (Mothers of Preschool) International, who will release her debut book Starry-Eyed: Seeing Grace in the Unfolding Constellation of Life and Motherhood in August. Tesi and Leslie absolutely love the book and were delighted by their conversation with Mandy, a woman who is smart, sweet, vulnerable, and full of inspiration. Mandy believes in intentionally showing up in relationships (even when it's hard or uncomfortable) and leaning on one another in times of celebration and strife. And, much like Leslie and Tesi, she goes BIG to cultivate joy! The women discuss the ins and outs of motherhood (both the inherent joy and pain), the challenges of finding time to embrace the Other Self, and the amazing opportunity women have to influence the next generation of humans. Ultimately, all three women believe somethings fundamental: Moms are world changers! For complete show notes and to order Mandy's book visit our website.
