In this episode, parenting coach, professional counselor, personality trainer, and mom of seven, Jami Kirkbride shares a pivotal piece of advice she learned during her journey as a mom: "All communication is behavior, and challenging behaviors are not always defiance or disrespect." For Jami, this realization became life-changing as she navigated raising a highly sensitive, emotionally intense child who exhibited challenging behaviors. Like many parents, she initially believed that much of her child's actions were rooted in defiance or disrespect. But through experience, she learned the importance of reshaping her approach—understanding her child's unique wiring and needs. Jami dives deep into the mindset shift that helped her move from reactive to curious, focusing on what her child's behavior was communicating. She shares how this new perspective on behavior led to a more connected, empathetic parenting style. Drawing from her personal journey and professional expertise, Jami now teaches other parents these valuable insights through her Calm Connection Parent Coaching Program. Tune in to hear Jami's story, and learn faith-based strategies to help you lead your child with empathy, understanding, and connection, even through their most challenging moments. Jami resides on a ranch in Wyoming where she and her husband are raising seven children. She has appeared on ChannelMom Radio and her work has been featured on MOPS International, CBN.com, and several other radio and podcast program.

Kristen Hallinan knew she needed to make some changes. How she responded to situations was threatening the peace in her family and costing her precious relationships. Once she figured out that much of her over-reactions were based in deep-seated early life trauma, she was able to begin to move forward: for her sake and for the sake of the next generation.  As a result of what Kristen learned, she's put together a resource that is her legacy and will be of help for many who feel stuck in the pain of their past. That may not be you but you may know someone who needs to hear her story and how to get beyond small-t trauma and live in the freedom and wholeness that Christ provides. A copy of her newly-released book will be part of a giveaway all week long. Be sure to comment to be entered: Legacy Changer: Heal the Hurt, Redeem Your Story, Create Hope for Your Family Some gems from our conversation: It took me many years to resource all the tools to help me heal.  We are forgiven completely when we come to faith in Christ, but not always fully healed. I love seeing women walk in freedom when God redeems their past pain. As a child, I felt unwanted, unseen, and that I was simply annoying to others.  It took courage to speak up about my needs and face the fact that many were not met as a child. To quiet the lies in my head, I list them out and contrast them with the truths of who God says I am.  I am teaching our children that it's okay not to be enough because God is enough. I've learned that I am in charge of my emotions—they are not in charge of me. Kristen Hallinan is a sought-after writer and speaker, passionate about helping women redeem the pain of their past and move towards a healthier and more hopeful future. On mission to equip women and support families, Kristen previously worked as Director of Development for MOPS International. She enjoys working with teen moms, crisis pregnancy centers, and serving as a pre-marital mentor with her husband Shawn in Dallas, TX. Legacy Changer is Kristen's debut book, and you can find her other writings in publications like Relevant Magazine and The Joyful Life.

Stephanie is delighted to welcome Richard Foster, the author of one of the most influential books in her life, Celebration of Discipline. Today, Richard, with Brenda Quinn, talk about the power of learning humility. He tells Stephanie, “The practice of humility has made me playful and free.” In our culture of raging narcissism, Richard calls humility the "vanishing virtue." He says that practicing humility has been "playful, freeing, fun, and freedom from [his] need to feel important." How wonderful! When Stephanie asks about how to learn humility, Richard answers, “We learn humility by taking up other tasks, like serving others.” Richard explains that humility is a secret gift that keeps on giving. He says, “one of the things we need to learn is to embrace and enjoy anonymity.” Richard encourages us to develop a passion for culture, encouraging each one if us to keep on living at the intersection of culture and Scripture here at Gospel Spice. He says, “look for the finger of God at work through every culture.” He adds, “in every culture there are things that are consonant with Scripture, and some that are dissonant. Our task is to discern among them.” In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate. Join Richard Foster on Gospel Spice today, and embrace the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity." MEET RICHARD FOSTER Richard Foster is founder, past pres­i­dent and cur­rent team mem­ber of Ren­o­varé. Hav­ing stud­ied at George Fox and Fuller The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary, Fos­ter has served as a pas­tor and taught world­wide on spir­i­tu­al for­ma­tion. Author of dozens of arti­cles and six books, includ­ing Cel­e­bra­tion of Dis­ci­pline, Richard con­tin­ues to write on the spir­i­tu­al life.

Do you know what is the most powerful word? A word that can uproot anxiety. A word that is simultaneously scary and life-changing. YES.  An Intentional YES unlocks growth and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. Here at MOPS, we are declaring this year as the Year of Yes.  Too often, our 'yeses' are reserved for default decisions we aren't even intentionally making or the stuff we feel obligated to do. What if we started saying 'yes' to the important things? Yes, to parenting on purpose. Yes, to significant challenges and out-of-your-comfort-zone opportunities. Yes, to your marriage. Invitations to connect with others? Yes, please. Saying yes opens us up to new ways of thinking and helps cultivate a growth mindset. Listen in as we detail how this year's theme "Say Yes" came about and get the inside scoop on the process.

This conversation with coach, writer, and podcaster Tori Hein is both inspiring and practical, and helps us honor the tension inside each of us who feel deeply ambitious and also deeply committed to our home life.

"What if I just try?" became a central question, and "I guess I haven't learned that yet" became their family motto.Show Notes:For more information about MOPS International, go to www.mops.org.Find a MOPS group: https://www.mops.org/groupsearch/index.php.Start a MOPS group: https://www.mops.org/start-a-group/.Guest: Shawna NiequistI Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet by Shauna NiequistLearn more about Shauna's husband's work: www.aaronniequist.com "Dancing on My Own" by Callum Scotthttps://www.shaunaniequist.com/https://www.instagram.com/sniequist/
