I am 12-years old and gay. In 2001, Ryan Robertson, 12-years old, reached out to his mother on Instant Messenger. Their lives forever changed. Then, 11 years later, Linda Robertson told their story publicly on Facebook, hoping that it would help other families avoid the missteps and pain they experienced.

In this episode, our phenomenal friend Betty joins the podcast to discuss the spirit of fear and ways to battle it as women. Betty is from Lebanon and has grown up in a tumultuous environment physically, politically, and even personally. She shares her own journey to faith as well as the power that God and His truth can have over fear in our lives. About the Speaker:Betty Maamari is a proud Christian woman from Lebanon. She has 3 wonderful kids and her eldest is Kurt who is on the Autism Spectrum. Betty has been a grateful disciple for 10 years and her husband came to faith 4 years ago because of the miracles they saw at home with the beloved son, Kurt. Betty is a an advocate for exceptional families in the Middle East and is currently leading the Parent 2 Parent Support Group in Lebanon with the SKILD Center. She is an active person who likes to spread the good news through social media and fun activities to show the world that Church is anything but boring! Episode Notes:Regardless of where you are in the world, fear is a huge battle we face.“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” -Teddy RooseveltFear leads to failure. It can lead us to sin as we try to grab ahold of things and control that ultimately belong to God. The bible says “Do not fear” over 365 times. Over time, it can be easy for us to “talk the talk” of trusting God, without actually living it out. Fear can be crippling. Jesus himself experienced fear- God in the flesh experienced fear! Fear is not an emotion, it is a spirit that attacks us.Luke 22:39-46We need to follow the example of Jesus, and pray MORE earnestly. Jesus Himself had to pray 3 times to overcome the spirit of fear- how much more should we expect to have to continually take our fears to God. “God will always meet us where we are at, but He loves us too much to leave us there.”What we are struggling with is not new. God’s people have always had to battle the spirit of fear. Fear clouds our eyes from eternity. We need to pray to see things from God’s perspective.

This week Elle and Abigail finally meet face-to-face! No wonder they felt inspired to make this podcast. "It takes a village," so the old proverb says, and anyone who tunes into our podcast for parents often knows that this is all too true. In fact, it's the reason we made the podcast - to share a weekly space for parents so you don't feel alone. And, as we meet this first time, we also realise the value in coming together week after week to share, to listen and laugh, to comfort and cry as we make the episodes. And we want the same for you... Where's Your Village?   So many of our reviews about the podcast say the episodes help parents feel part of something bigger - and we want that for you not just once a week, but every day and at any time you need it!   Your village doesn't even have to be close physically - we're living proof of that! When you have a village, you have a guide, a force, and a strength behind you as you face your parenting challenges - and we've learnt this year that having that makes them so much easier to overcome.   We're asking you to think about who else you want in your village? It's time to reach for your people! Reach for your support, because parenting shouldn't be a solo sport.   Listen in today and find out why you need to build that village for yourself, and how you can do it. More Resources About Building A Parenting Village There are so many ways to reach out and get the support you need within Hand in Hand Parenting.

Amy Zuniga joins me to discuss creating rhythm in parenting. Having a rhythm for your day can help you and your typically-developing or special needs children have some predictibility in the world around them, which is important for developing social competence and learning. We'll share our own struggles and explorations in finding the rhythm for our families, plus some research behind this concept. Call in to share your story or ask questions.

Mandy Taylor, Adoptive Parent and Foster Parent Retention Specialist at Bethany Christian Services in Grand Rapids, MI shares her experience developing a Post-RPC Training Support Group. Mandy leads a monthly meeting where concepts and ideas from the RPC are reviewed. The group also explores how this knowledge can be applied to their current parenting. Additionally this podcast discusses the importance of creating a space for parents to give and receive validation, generate camaraderie amongst parents, and provide one another with tangible parenting suggestions. The group is built upon the premise that if healing is done through the context of relationships, then resource parents too need supportive relationships as they act as agents of healing for their children.
