"It's only a joke..." but is it really? Humor and sarcasm can be tricky in relationships—sometimes it's playful, and other times it cuts deeper than intended. In this episode, you'll discover how joking, sarcasm, and humor play vital roles in healthy relationships—and what happens when jokes cross the line and reveal serious communication issues.Steve Alessi and Mary Alessi open up about their own approach to humor, how sarcasm shaped their families, and how laughter can create closeness or mask deeper issues. You'll discover why some couples thrive by balancing seriousness and lightheartedness, and how to read the room when humor is (or isn't) appropriate.Learn how joking can be a sign of trust and intimacy—but also where it may hide unspoken truths, cause pain, or erode safety in marriage, family, or even business teams. If you want stronger connections at home or work, you'll find practical tips for being mindful of your words, knowing when to turn off sarcasm, and embracing moments of seriousness - so you'll know when your partner's feelings are no laughing matter.Support the showJOIN THE FAMILY BUSINESS WITH OUR NEWSLETTER Sign Up for Our Family Business Newsletter and get more inside news from the Alessis + tips and strategies for a happier family!

Parents, are you tired of constantly putting out fires and reacting in the moment? What if there's a better way to raise kids—one that shapes their hearts, builds character, and points them to God from the inside out? In this episode, Abbey Wedgeworth, author of the Training Young Hearts series as well as her upcoming release “Help! I'm Ruining My Kids,” joins us to unpack practical, intentional habits that help parents guide their children before chaos erupts. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why reactive parenting keeps you exhausted and frustrated How small, consistent habits can shape your child's heart for life Practical “training refrains” you can start using today Stories from real-life parenting wins and funny surprises Scripture-based strategies for raising kids without guilt or perfectionism How to cultivate character and point your kids to Jesus every day Plus: Fun moments with Abbey, including our 2 Truths and a Lie game and a lightning round of parenting questions to inspire laughter, reflection, and encouragement. Takeaway: You're not just raising kids—you're raising hearts for God. Start small, stay consistent, and watch Him work in the everyday moments. Scripture Inspiration: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6  

Allie tackles the explosive hell debate ignited by Kirk Cameron in which he wades into annihilationism, which is a belief that sinners in hell do not suffer eternal torment but will eventually be forever destroyed. She contrasts it with the traditional view of eternal conscious punishment, exploring Scripture's imagery of destruction, balancing God's characteristics of justice and mercy, and referring to key theologians, such as John MacArthur, John Stott, Edward Fudge, J.I. Packer, and many more. At the end of the day, sharing the gospel to all unbelievers is the most important because separation from God is horrific. Plus, Allie asks for your prayers over Megan Basham, who is battling cancer at this moment. Join us for thoughtful theology, biblical clarity, and renewed passion for souls.

Ever feel like you're doing all the right things—loving your family, serving your clients, following God the best you can—yet still wondering if you're missing something in the moments that matter most?You're not alone. And today's conversation will meet you right there with both truth and hope.In this deeply grounding episode, I'm joined by Terri Hitt—wife of 47 years, mom of four across two generations, Christian motherhood mentor, podcast host, and author of the new book The Good Mom Trap. Terri has spent decades walking women through what it really means to break the lie that “good parenting makes godly kids” and instead live as mothers who choose Christ over culture.We're talking about the things that impact both your time and your legacy: how taking your thoughts captive shifts your daily rhythms, why busyness is the #1 obstacle in raising kids who know and follow God, and how choosing to live moment-by-moment with Him transforms the way you show up for your business, your home, and the next generation.Terri opens up about how the loss of her daughter reshaped her identity and mindset, why we must invest heavenly deposits into the children God has entrusted to us, and how inhaling Christ individually allows us to exhale Him to everyone around us.If you've ever wondered whether you're doing “enough” as a mom while building a business, this episode offers an eternal perspective that sets you free.

On this episode of Significant Women, I have the absolute joy of sitting down with my dear friend, D'Lytha Myers. D'Lytha's story is one of courage, surrender, and an unshakable trust in God's faithfulness. From unexpected detours to God's surprising provisions, her journey will encourage you to keep saying “yes” to the Lord no matter what season you are in. You'll walk away inspired to hold onto hope, pursue intimacy with Jesus, and trust Him with the story He is writing in your life.Key Points:D'Lytha's testimony of God's guidance in seasons of uncertaintyThe importance of daily obedience and saying “yes” to the LordHow God's provision often looks different from what we expectPractical encouragement for those walking through waiting seasonsThe joy of discovering God's purpose through surrender Have a prayer request or feedback?Email Carol at: carol@carolmcleodministries.comShe and her team would love to pray for you.

Parenting: Building Blocks for Raising Godly Kids, part 6

Hey friend— This one's tender. Because even though I'm not naturally a yeller, I've had seasons where the pressure, the noise, the responsibilities… it all just spilled over. And I'd snap. But the shame that followed always hurt worse than the yelling itself.In today's episode, I'm opening up about those moments and what they taught me. We'll walk through the difference between external behavior and internal signals—why yelling is usually a red flag that something deeper needs care. I'll show you simple, practical tools that help you regulate your emotions, guide your kids with gentleness, and create calm even in a loud, high-demand season.If you've ever whispered to yourself, “This isn't the mom I want to be…”—this one's for you.We'll also talk about the biblical roots of gentleness, how family government reduced the friction in my home, and why yelling is often your body's cry for support—not a sign you're failing.

They delve into the impact of fatherlessness on societal issues, the difference between parenting boys and girls, and the importance of discipline and responsibility. Wilson shares insights from his book, 'Keep Your Kids: How to Raise Strong Kids in an Age of Therapeutic Sentimentalism,' emphasizing the role of grace, the dangers of therapeutic sentimentalism, and the significance of traditional family structures. Together, they explore how to navigate parenting in an upside-down world, maintaining strong familial bonds, and providing a positive model of masculinity and femininity.

How does Lot raise his kids in Sodom? Evidently, it didn't work out well for Lot. But, how do we speak of the sins of Sodom with our children? What if an uncle wishes to justify his sinful lifestyle in the presence of your family? These are real and present, critical questions for every Christian family living in Sodom today. The dad panel talks the right perspective to take on the world, and the right way to speak of the world with our children today. This program includes:1.

Raising godly kids is the desire of most Christian parents, but what happens when siblings' faith paths drift? Why do some kids in the same faith-filled home grow up to love God, while their siblings seem to walk away? It's one of the most heartbreaking and confusing challenges Christian parents face, and you're not alone.  In this episode, Connie Albers tackles the difficult questions so many families quietly wrestle with: Why do children from the same home choose different spiritual paths? Through biblical insight, relatable stories, and practical encouragement, Connie shares points for you to consider and what you can do if this happens in your family.  You'll learn why faith doesn't look the same for every child, how to release guilt, and what steps you can take to keep parenting with hope, love, and unwavering faith.  If you've ever wondered, "Where did I go wrong?". This conversation will remind you that God is still working, even when it doesn't look like it.  More popular episodes you may enjoy: Navigating Parenting Advice and Trends Stopping Comparing Yourself: Ability vs. Aptitude Mom Overload: Stop Stress Before It Breaks You Win Back Your Prodigal with Lanie Lawson Craft   Check out more at ConnieAlbers.com Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/raising-godly-kids-when-faith-paths-drift   If you enjoy listening to Parenting and Homeschool Advice ~ Equipped To Be with Connie Albers,  kindly leave a review and a five-star rating.

Today we're joined by our friend Kirk Cameron to talk about his new book, "The Fox, the Fair, and the Invention Scare," as well as the rise of inappropriate books for children in schools and why it matters to fight back. First, we recap our last conversation with Kirk, in which he declared public schools enemy number one. Is this still the case, and what should Christians who work in public schools do to combat the ever-growing hostility toward their worldview? We look at where inappropriate children's books are coming from and explain how Scholastic Books is a wolf in sheep's clothing attempting to force gender ideology books among the books we know and love. Kirk shares about his alternative to Scholastic Book Fairs, SkyTree Books Fairs, and we discuss why he feels to passionately about this subject and why it's so important for us as Christians to stand against the indoctrination of kids. We end with some encouragement on creating good soil for our children and the optimism we can have. --- Timecodes: (01:12) Public education (07:30) Scholastic Books (13:06) Sky Tree book fairs (14:30) How did Scholastic get to this point?

When it comes to parenting, you can do everything right, follow all the right instructions, which in itself is an impossibility, but even in the perfect environment there is no guarantee that your kids will turn out the way you want. Every kid is different and parenting them has to be different. There is no formula that guarantees a certain outcome. As a result, we are all dependent on God to fill in the gaps of our failures.

Learn how parenting according to God's plan qualifies you, prepares you, and teaches you how to parent different from the world. It's time to raise families who are set apart from the systems we have grown too comfortable with. It's important to understand how to navigate the challenges and spiritual battles that are being raged against your family.   Your parenting journey is unique to your family, but the foundations of your Kingdom parenting is established in your choice to obey the Lord and seperate from the world systems.  If you are interested in finding out more about signing up for a free 30 min. strategy call, Spirit Warrior Academy, Coaching Intensives or other offers, you can check it all out here

The reason? Her parents don't want her to get the COVID vaccine. While they were previously told the vaccine was a recommendation, it appears to now be a requirement. Chrissy and Lee share their story and how we can help. Then, we're joined by our friend Kirk Cameron to talk about his new film, "Lifemark," and the importance and beauty of adoption, as well as this week's news that over 50 public libraries, many of which have hosted drag queen story hours, have refused to allow Kirk a story hour for his new family-friendly book, "As You Grow," claiming the "messaging does not align." --- Timecodes: (02:40) Interview with Chrissy and Lee Hicks (24:29) Intro to Kirk interview (26:05) Interview with Kirk Cameron / "Lifemark" (38:25) Kirk gets denied public library story hours --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com/ALLIE and use promo code 'ALLIE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!

This Sunday morning, Pastor Joe shares a message on the importance of raising Godly children when they are being inundated with worldly influences. He gives 4 ways the enemy asserts […] The post Raising Godly Kids in Babylon appeared first on Blessed Hope Chapel Church – Simi Valley, CA.

Today we're talking about what's going on in schools with progressive gender ideology and how it's affecting families across the country. Our first story is about progressive outrage at a school that had an assignment asking kids to present a loving, biblical argument for why homosexuality is wrong, which of course has been the unchanging position of the church since the beginning of time. The Left is livid about this, but unsurprisingly silent about another school that sent out an assignment asking kids to write about "touching" themselves. Then, we welcome Rose Rabidoux and her attorney Luke Berg to the show to discuss her situation, in which her son and two other middle school students are being charged with sexual harassment under Title IX for not using a classmate's preferred pronouns. Lastly, we give an update on the nationwide baby formula shortage and how people talking about it have finally elicited a response from the Biden administration. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (8:00) Christian academy getting backlash for writing assignment (23:04) Disturbing take-home assignment for 3-8 yr olds (32:54) Interview with Rose, parent of student being sued by Wisconsin school district for sexual harassment when student didn't use "proper" pronouns + Rose's lawyer, Luke (50:42) Updates on the baby formula shortage --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles — save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com when you use promo code 'ALLIEB' Naturally It's Clean — get Allie's 4-pack of the essentials starter kit at NaturallyItsClean.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save 15% off your order!

Today we're delighted to speak with actor and filmmaker Kirk Cameron about his new film project "The Homeschool Awakening" which will be in theaters June 13 and 14. We go through some of the stereotypes and common questions about homeschooling. Can you really spend all that time with your kids every day? What about your child's socialization? You're not a trained teacher; how can you teach your kids? And we discuss how churches can help encourage families choosing to home educate.
