On the latest episode of The Big Impression podcast, Samsung's Allison Stransky discusses the company's new AI-focused campaign, “Your Home Speaks You.” She explains the importance of conveying how Samsung's AI-powered home-automation features benefit the consumer.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Allison Stransky, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Electronics America. She's led brand strategy at global companies like Google and L'Oreal, and now drive Samsung's vision for the connected home.Damian Fowler (00:24):Allison's here to talk about Samsung's new campaign Your Home Speaks You launched in June. The campaign highlights the joy of a home that feels more personal, showing how Samsung's connected products and Galaxy AI come together in everyday moments. Think a washer dryer that finishes a load in 68 minutes or a fridge that tells you to order some more cheese.Ilyse Liffreing (00:47):I love that idea. It's an omnichannel campaign built on real consumer insights about what homeowners actually need and how connected tech can save time, reduce stress, and make life a little easier.Damian Fowler (01:01):So let's get into it.Ilyse Liffreing (01:08):So Alison, the campaign Your Home speaks to you. It really redefines the home, not just as a space but as a feeling. And for the first time, it actually connects all of Samsung's various products into one overall story where anybody can pair these devices throughout the home together. Can you discuss the campaign and then how you translated that vision into the creative?Allison Stransky (01:31):Absolutely. So the initial insight behind your home speaks you is that we are all unique individuals and so are our homes, but also our homes are unique reflection of ourselves. And this actually went back to a campaign that we launched in 2024, but in 25 we took a really exciting evolution, which as you said was the first time we made a wide reaching video, digital video campaign featuring multiple Samsung products working together because we wanted to really convey to consumers who know consumers who don't know how much more you can get out of the Samsung ecosystem when you connect it all through smart things and what is also net new, how Galaxy AI takes those benefits really to the next level. So we are firm believers in how incredible our products are and how amazing they can all be when they work together, but we needed to translate that into something really tangible and relatable.(02:38):So that's where it came to life. In this campaign we featured four different hero products, the two TVs, combo washer dryer and the Bespoke fridge in sequence with a number of mobile products because that is where a lot of the real benefits of the interoperability can start to happen and then looked for real emotional insights to drive the storyline. So to turn that idea into a campaign, it all starts with the data. So we wanted to start by understanding the features and the benefits that our consumers like the most about our products and how our products work together. And then we took that data and turned them into insights. So to give you an example of how that worked, I'll start with the bespoke combo washer dryer. This is a new product that we launched in 2025. It does a wash in a dry all in one cycle in 68 minutes.(03:38):So this is the fastest combo washer dryer on the market, which is great. Fast speed is a great benefit, but when you connect to smart things and you start working with all of your devices together, you can really take your efficiency to the next level through things like notifications. But the human insight that comes into play is imagine that you are coming home and have to get ready for a date and you find that your dog is sitting on the clothes that you laid out for your date and your now brief tells you you have to be out the door in 75 minutes. Well, Samsung saves the day or the date night with the combo washer dryer and the sequence of notifications so you can get ready to go. And that's how really we thought about the whole campaign of bringing it together is it started with a product, it's made better by smart things in ai, but it's really a data-driven human insight that takes the whole thing and brings it to life.Ilyse Liffreing (04:34):Oh yeah, that's really cool. I know it took me two and a half hours to do laundry the other night.Damian Fowler (04:39):That's way too long.Ilyse Liffreing (04:41):And your own research has found that 76% of households already own at least one SAM product and then 27% have three or more. So how did those data insights actually help you shape the campaign?Allison Stransky (04:56):Well, that is data that we're really proud of. We are so proud to be in 76% of households, but then when you look at the drop off, between 76% have at least one Samsung product and 27% have three or more. We really believe in the benefits that are unlocked when all of our products are working together. So in theory, only 27% of households are realizing this state that we know can be possible. So it is one of the things that has driven this is like it is important for you to unlock all of the features and all of the capabilities of whether it's your appliance, your TV or your phone. They really are better together. So that was one of the drivers behind this campaign. Another one of the drivers is we launched Galaxy AI in 2024 and now we've been over this hurdle of there is strong awareness of Galaxy AI and AI in general of what it is and what it can do, but we need to help consumers along on this journey of seeing all the benefits that AI can unlock.(06:01):So we talk about Galaxy AI as being your true AI companion. And what we mean by that is we've moved beyond automation and it's now personalized predictive, anticipating your needs and offering you meaningful personal insights. And that's something else that we want to start telling the story of because that's the thing that's going to get you to say, oh my gosh, my phone can do so much more and now enter smart things. My phone and my fridge or my phone and my TV can help me start building this really amazing connected lifestyle that's going to help me insert the benefit that isn't relevant to you. Is it save time? Is it have a better movie watching experience? There's so many things that this can enable that. That was, it was those things that added up to really inspiring us to create this campaign.Damian Fowler (06:53):I'm really interested to hear a little bit more about the style and the tone of the aesthetic of this campaign, how it aligns this futuristic vision with very human insight.Allison Stransky (07:03):We always think not just about the tech itself but the design. So it really goes back to the product and how we represent our products because it is not just about having this functional high tech TV, refrigerator, et cetera, but we want them to be designed forward and fit them beautifully into your house. So that's our baseline philosophy as it came to this campaign. We want to represent how beautiful and designed for the products are, but also Samsung, the brand as a whole. So we are joyful, colorful, open, inclusive as a brand. And so to get that feeling and to bring that to life, we worked with an amazing team. Crispin was our creative partner and Mathy was our director duo partner who really brought that vision to life. So Crispin was not new for us. We have been working with them since 2024, and so they really get and feel our brand.(08:05):But Mathy is a creative team that we and the Crispin team have really admired and wanted to have an opportunity to work with because we felt like they really get it, they get Samsung, they get what they're trying to do and then they bring their own incredible spin to it. So two of the things that I loved about them, and I will say they all this team really surpassed expectations. One was their approach to color. Like I said, we are a design forward colorful brand and they really captured a very modern look and feel. But then secondly, they have an incredible attention to detail that I hope our viewers pick up on when they watch the spots and see all these tiny little things that came together. One of my favorite examples of that was in our neo QLED eight K TV spot. The storyline was that this couple is obsessed with westerns and they want to have the most immersive TV western viewing experience, but their whole house is designed like Western fans and there's all this little attention to detail in tiny hats and cowboy boots that they strategically placed everywhere in the spot.(09:20):And when we saw it come to life, we just, like I said, it surpassed our expectations and we know we picked the right team.Damian Fowler (09:31):Allison, I'd really love to ask you a little bit more about the actual media buying strategy behind the campaign. Can you elaborate?Allison Stransky (09:37):Absolutely. So it's really special to work at this brand. A lot of CMOs have a lot of love for their brand. I've had love for Samsung before I worked here, so I feel fortunate to have this seat and everything that we create is so it's thought out from the product perspective, from the communication perspective, from the media buying perspective because we want to make sure, one, you understand what we are trying to do. Two, we reach the right people. Something else that is unique about working in a brand that has touched this many households is one of the reasons we've done that is we have so many products and part of that is getting the right message to the right person at the right time. Because if you're going back to school and you're in college shopping mode, I have really relevant phones and laptops and tablets that are going to monitors that will enhance your back to school experience.(10:40):I don't want to serve you a refrigerator ad at that time. And so that's where end to end, every detail needs to be thought out because even the targeting needs to get the right spot to the right people. As I talked a little bit about, this is year two of the campaign in the first year we created stories and vignettes around Are you a workout from Home Maven? Are you a home chef? And when I saw the corporate, the boss lady served to me, I was like, this is all working. The media is working out is the one that I've also been served.Ilyse Liffreing (11:16):Yeah, it seems to me like it's a truly omnichannel kind of strategy as well, and that kind of fits in with the overall smart things theme in a sense.Allison Stransky (11:25):It does. I appreciate that connection because smart things is one of the things that's really special about the Smart Things app is that it is an open ecosystem. It works with everything that is built on the matter platform. So it's not just for Samsung products. And not only is that in line with our value system of openness and inclusion, but that helps our consumers and smart things app users reach another level of benefits and impact. And what I mean by that is health is a big area, for example, that we focus on and sleep within health is critical, but part of your sleeping environment is are your shades open or closed? How well lit or not well lit is your bedroom. And we want smart things to be part of making that perfect sleeping environment. But we don't make lights, we don't make curtains, but we are very happy that you can connect smart lights and smart curtains to your smart things app and with Samsung products create this holistic environment where you can sleep better or wake up better. And it's all a part of our vision of Look, we want to add value to your life. We want to be a very useful, helpful brand.Ilyse Liffreing (12:39):And on that note, let's dive into some of the insights a little bit because you mentioned you wanted to make a smart things ecosystem feel more intuitive and easy to access. So what were some of those signals or behavior changes that you're watching for to see if this message lands?Allison Stransky (12:54):It starts with the KPIs. So we are looking to understand is registration smart things registration increasing? Because the very first step is hook up a product, begin to use the app, start to see what you can get out of that. But from there we want to see that multi-device accounts are also growing because if you have multiple devices connected now I'm starting to get an indication that you are seeing more benefits than, look, you can use your phone as a remote control to turn your TV on and off. That's great. I actually do that a lot in my house. But the sleep benefits, the health benefits, the full ecosystem really gets better when there are multiple products. So the first indication is sign up and start using it. The second is how many products are on there because now I know that you're starting to get a little bit more engaged and we're looking at signals outside of smart things usage as well.(13:52):So for example, only a few weeks into this campaign running, we saw a 55% increase in smart things searches versus year ago. And that was really exciting to us because that means there's a lot of curiosity around the app and what the app can do. And concurrently we had created a set of assets that we're calling smart things 1 0 1 and they are a series of literally 101 videos that were designed to be very SEO forward and answer questions that we either know people are asking or we believe people are asking about the app. So we've created this process whereby you see the campaign, if you're not familiar with smart things, you might go, oh, what is this? Let me learn some more. And now when you go out there, there's a ton more video to take you on your own personal journey that starts with what is smart things all the way down to, okay, I get it, I'm hooked up. How can I create this? My refrigerator helps me, meal plan experience. It's a number of signals and behavior changes that we're looking at along the way.Damian Fowler (14:58):It makes sense that there's an educational component to this campaign that runs alongside it because I'm curious, when people hear your home speaks to you, they may say, well, what does that mean? What does it mean to me? I mean maybe this tech is even intimidating to some people.Allison Stransky (15:12):Yeah, I think it is fair that this is not second nature to us yet. We are fascinated by each generation of new people who are born are going to be much more tech native than the generation before them. But right now our consumers are really, you're kind of in the millennial and exes are buying a lot of the houses that the appliances are speaking to. Zs are buying phones and certainly TVs but not as many of them are homeowners. So we do think it's really important that we make that journey as seamless and easy as possible because once a lot of the benefits are literally set it and forget it and you can go and continue on your life, but we want to make sure end to end you are supported in your journey. So even outside of this campaign, we are piloting a lot of things whereby our service line people, you can call in and get tech support to set up smart things or we foresee a future state where you can set it up, you can have somebody come in and set it up in your home so that it is all that much easier and ready to go.Damian Fowler (16:25):Now you talk about it. I do think maybe this is a generational thing as well. I suppose if people aren't homeowners serving them, an ad for a fridge may not be that relevant. So you must see an interesting breakdown across generational demographics.Allison Stransky (16:39):We do it is there's a wide range of to be in 76% of households, we have a lot of wide range of consumers too. We also have ranges within our products. We have, not all of our refrigerators have screens, but we sure do love the ones that do. But what we found is through a wide portfolio mix, so many people can see the benefits that they're looking for out of our products. And then it's really our responsibility to make our marketing work harder, to make our media dollars more impactful to and our agency partners as well to get the right content to the right people at the right timeDamian Fowler (17:22):On the right phone.Ilyse Liffreing (17:24):Yeah, that is very interesting because people are using even search and AI chatbots for their questions and how to get those answers. So I think it's a great strategy. But looking at the big picture now, how do you see AI continuing to evolve the role that Samsung plays in people's homes?Allison Stransky (17:42):We really believe that AI is going to continue to be more prevalent, more ubiquitous, more important all of our lives. So AI is not new and we've been innovating in AI for more than 10 years. But what has changed is a lot of the LLMs and the media and a lot of this honestly just talking about it have put these benefits and the power of it on consumer's minds. So now we're in the early stages of, okay, the benefits are here. Let's start with helping you understand what Galaxy AI is and then how AI can make a difference on your refrigerator and your tv. And we are seeing this journey, and to be honest, AI is moving so fast that we could be there in a year, we could be there in three. We don't really know how ready consumers are going to be to jump in with us on all of these things, but the innovation roadmap is there and the communication roadmap is there to say, all right, we know it's going to be here and what we know, it's here to stay.(18:44):Let's just take you on this journey. Let's start with the features and the benefits that you have seen the most value in. So for example, a lot of people are using things like circle to search and photo editing capabilities because that is really valuable, but also on the fun side of adoption. So we've worked those into our campaigns. Another one that as an example from this particular smart things campaign in the Frame Pro spot, we showcase for the first time the frame has always been our art tv. Normally we're showing how you can put Van Gogh on your wall because the insight behind the frame is that your TV shouldn't be a black box when you're not using it. Well now it can display family art, meaning photos that you've taken and edited to take that guy in the background out that you wished wasn't in there. And you can see all of this come to life, but this is still the early stages of what the AI journey is about. It's going to be become even more automated and assistive as we get into this stage of multimodality all of your devices and apps connecting and doing more things for you. But we feel it's our responsibility to help you understand what that looks like, not just how it works, but what's the end benefit to you. And then you'll be excited to come along with us on that journey.Ilyse Liffreing (20:02):Now what about outside of the home? Do you envision a future where the smart things ecosystem even extends maybe in the cars travel or public spaces, maybe even as part of a new innovation roadmap?Allison Stransky (20:15):Yes, we would. It does exist a little bit today and we'd be so excited to see even more so we did just recently launch Smart Things Pro, which is an enterprise solution for smart things. So right now business owners can see a lot of benefits like controlling whole hotels. One of our favorite examples that we shared at CES this year was that smart things pro can control your cruise ship. Not a lot of us are in market to buy cruise ships, but showing the power of what it can do and how it exists is really exciting. And I think we envision a world where smart things pro from a business outside of the home perspective can connect to smart things on your device and on your app. And we foresee a roadmap of when you show up at a hotel, you can have your room set to the temperature you like, which not just makes it for a more comfortable experience for you, but could help a whole hotel be more sustainable by not blasting the air conditioning for everybody who doesn't want it to be 62 degrees or whatever it feels like it's set at through smart things.(21:22):And Hyundai, your EV can be your whole house generator. So there's cool stuff in the works that we are working on getting the news out there to our consumers because there's just so many benefits. We also kind have to start by thinking about the bigger ones, which back to this campaign, the things that people want every day are make my life easier, help me save time, help me make my home more enjoyable with my family.Damian Fowler (21:51):Do you think that there's any way that this campaign can help move the needle in the direction of broader acceptance of say, AI and automation?Allison Stransky (22:00):I think it's going to play a part in that we have so much within Samsung that we are talking about in the AI space that I think Samsung as a whole is a massive contributor to shifting the AI conversation. So fortunately there are some partners out there like Chat, GP, GT and Meta are also continuing the narrative and bringing up total awareness. So we're very excited for the more AI conversation that happens, the more interest and curiosity there is in AI benefits. And then we are here with on-device AI on our smartphones and televisions and appliances, our responsibility when you come now you know what AI is. Now our responsibility is to help you see the benefit that you can get from not just individual Samsung products but how they all work together. And I think we are at this really exciting tipping point for not just tech companies but consumer companies everywhere to help all consumers say, look, we're moving into the AI generation. It's here to stay. We're going to do it together. You find the AI solutions that are right for you. And that's how I think we'll all come along on this journey.Damian Fowler (23:14):I just want to know, can I ask my fridge to tell me when I need to order some new cheese?Allison Stransky (23:18):Cheese? I would prioritize cheese too.Damian Fowler (23:21):Okay. We've got some quickfire questions now that EIS is going to kick off.Ilyse Liffreing (23:25):Okay. Yes. So Alison, what's your favorite scene or moment from the new campaign that you believe best captures the heart of your homes beaks you?Allison Stransky (23:35):So in each of our four spots, there's a moment where our hero just makes this look like I've got this. So my dog is sitting on my day clothes, I've got this, my kids can't agree on dinner. I've got this. And that's the part that I think that captures because whether it comes from the surprise of dog on clothes or I got tackle dinner every single night, I think that's a very real moment that people go through every single day and you get that own personal little rush of like, you got this covered. But on a personal level, it is, I do really love the fridge spot where dad is cooking dinner for two kids because we laugh about this at home because every single night my husband is cooking dinner for our kids. And so that one for me is like a little slice of life, but there's a moment of confidence where you're in control. And that's what I think really encapsulates the spirit of this campaign.Damian Fowler (24:37):What's one feature of the Samsung Smart things ecosystem that you personally can't live without?Allison Stransky (24:43):So I am personally obsessed with all the innovation we have in this health space and sleep in particular because we know most Americans report they don't get enough sleep, but I am definitely part of that set as for mentioned to kids. So what I'm really excited about is the capabilities of your wearables to track how you are sleeping, connects that to your personal temperature in the middle of the night and auto adjust your thermostat accordingly to bring the temperature up or down depending upon what you need. So I will be completely honest, my full house is not fully smart thermostat enabled yet, but this is the one on my wishlist that I'm like, I need this because I am a wearable and health tracker enthusiast.Ilyse Liffreing (25:33):Okay, here's the next one. Which consumer insights helped you the most in developing this campaign?Allison Stransky (25:40):So when it comes to this campaign, we were looking for insights that I guess I'll say weren't so surprising as they were relatable. So I'm not sure that I can say from this campaign, but on the consumer insight that surprises me the most is that I'm not kidding and I'm not being facetious. People report saying they would rather live without their left hand than their mobile phone. I know that our phones are important, but I will say that is surprising because that is to report that that is a level of, I don't know if it's dependency or love, but either way that reminds me that we make a really special product that people really, really value in their lives. And I think that is just wild when they say it like that.Damian Fowler (26:27):Well, we did live without them a long time ago, so. Well, I did. I'm Gen X. Is there a brand campaign inside or outside tech that you think is nailing emotional storytelling right now?Allison Stransky (26:39):So it's not exactly a new spot. They've been doing it for a little while, but I loving Volvo and they released a spot, I believe it was last year, towards the end of the year for the New Ex 90 where it is a beautiful story of a couple has just found out that they are pregnant and they flash forward and they see their whole lives unfold. And then there's a moment where Volvo is critical in their safety features of making sure that this all happens. And I'm going to give you just enough tease because I think people should go look up this spot. This is a piece of art in video advertising. And I still get chills when I think about it. So that's one in particular that's really good. But then they've taken a lot of other moments with dad and daughter learning to drive together. And so many of these other things that I think cars can be emotional because they're related to safety. They also are so integral to your life. They enable you to get places to do things. So I think there's a lot of deep emotion in the auto category, but when you say emotion, that is the first one that comes to mind as I still get chills thinking about how beautiful that spot is.Damian Fowler (28:02):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (28:04):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by Love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Damian Fowler (28:11):And rememberAllison Stransky (28:12):The consumer insight that surprises me the most is that I'm not kidding, and I'm not being facetious. People report saying they would rather live without their left hand than their mobile phone.Damian Fowler (28:23):I'm DamianIlyse Liffreing (28:24):And I'm Ilyse, andDamian Fowler (28:25):We'll see you next time.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is not about a Pinterest-perfect house or counting your belongings — it's about creating space for what actually matters. Here's what we cover: ✨ Minimalism Defined: Why it's a mindset and a lifestyle, and how it helps you focus on what truly matters. ✨ Core Philosophy: Removing physical clutter, mental noise, unnecessary obligations, and even limiting beliefs — so you have more space, time, and energy. ✨ Practical Minimalism: Decluttering your possessions, your calendar, your digital life, and even your relationships. ✨ Benefits You'll Feel: More clarity, freedom, presence, and alignment between your outer world and your inner values. ✨ Giving and Receiving: Why so many women struggle to receive, and why receiving is essential before you can truly give. ✨ Your Home as a Guide: How clutter is not your enemy but your teacher, showing you where you are overwhelmed and what needs attention. ✨ Boundaries & Self-Love: How to take accountability for your side of the street with compassion — not self-criticism — and why filling your own cup is not selfish. ✨ Overwhelm & Putting Yourself Last: Why putting yourself first changes everything, and how it shifts the energy of your home and relationships. ✨ The Power of Possibility: Why changing your environment creates possibility — the antidote to depression — and why this work is worth the courage it takes. This is a heart-centered episode about loving yourself enough to create an environment that reflects who you are and who you are becoming. I hope it helps you!  And I hope to see you tomorrow!

As a school administrator, what is your role in speaking into your students' homes? That's actually a much bigger question than what this talk addresses. Homes matter so much. Perhaps we're tempted to think we can take any student and transform them through a great school experience, but that only reaches so far. As we consider our influence at school and capacity to establish a particular culture, it's important for us to come to grips with the influence of the home. This ought to inspire our gratitude for the good homes and parents from which we benefit as well as prompt us to prayerfully search for ways to care for the troubled homes with which we interact. Ultimately, we offer our work at school to our heavenly Father and trust Him to work through the Spirit to form and establish our students according to his good will. Gerald Miller cares an awful lot about this issue as you are about to hear in this vigorous appeal to take the home's influence seriously. He has taught and administrated for many years at Faith Builders Christian School in northwestern Pennsylvania. He is addressing parents and school leaders here as a parent and a school leader. This is an opportunity to consider important strengths and weaknesses in your own example if you are a parent and an opportunity for anyone to gain insight into the circumstances of the families that you serve. We offer this episode in the hope that God will graciously guide you in responding to any needs that this talk brings to your attention.

How do you talk to your child about a terminal illness in the family? What if it’s not your family, but your best friend's—and you want to support both their kids and your own? In today’s heart-wrenching episode, Justin and Kylie tackle one of the toughest parenting challenges: helping children navigate the looming death of a loved one. With compassion, honesty, and practical wisdom, they share how to approach these conversations—and how to show up when words aren’t enough. KEY POINTS: Be honest with children in age-appropriate ways—truth helps, secrecy hurts. Children need predictability: keep routines and rituals where possible. Acknowledge emotions—yours and theirs. Say “I feel sad too.” When supporting a grieving friend, show up practically. Don’t ask, just do. Teach your child how to be a caring friend: “I don’t know what to say, but I care about you.” Offer your home as a safe place for affected children to rest and just be kids. Model empathy, presence, and consistency—not just for the family in crisis, but for your child watching. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "I don’t know what to say, but I care about you." — Teach this to your child, and say it yourself. It matters. RESOURCES MENTIONED: Happy Families Website (submit your question here) Has Screen Use Crossed the Line in Your Home? - With Brad Marshall ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Speak to your child about serious illness honestly and age-appropriately. Keep routines and rituals in place to provide stability. Validate and model emotional expression: let your child see that it’s okay to be sad, angry, or confused. Help your child support their friend with care, not pressure. Offer practical help to grieving families—meals, transport, child-minding—without needing to be asked. Let your home be a haven for kids who are carrying heavy emotional loads. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this lively episode of the Rap Report, Andrew Rappaport and Pastor Joshua tackle the often daunting yet essential topic of parenting, framing it not just as a responsibility but as a divine act of discipleship. They dive into the idea that parenting should be viewed through the lens of spiritual stewardship, with the goal of raising children who know and love God. The conversation is peppered with witty banter, as they humorously acknowledge the struggles of modern parenting, all while emphasizing that deep connections and intentionality are key to effective discipleship within the home. Pastor Joshua shares insights from his book, "Parenting Against the Current," which offers practical tools and strategies for navigating the cultural currents that often pull families away from biblical values. Listeners are encouraged to embrace the challenge of intentional parenting, reminding them that while the journey is complex, it is also rewarding and rooted in love and faith.The podcast episode unfolds as Andrew and Pastor Joshua engage in a relaxed yet profound conversation about the trials and tribulations of parenting, framing it as a spiritual journey of discipleship. They humorously debunk the myth that parenting is simply about raising children into adulthood, instead positing that it is a divine calling to disciple the next generation. Joshua's insights from his book, *Parenting Against the Current: Taking Back Discipleship in Your Home*, serve as a guiding light in this discussion, encouraging parents to reevaluate their approach to raising children in a culture that often opposes biblical teachings.One of the standout themes is the necessity for parents to view their role as active disciple-makers, preparing their children not just for life's challenges but for a flourishing relationship with God. Joshua discusses how modern distractions and societal norms can pull families away from this goal, and he emphasizes the importance of intentional parenting that begins long before children can articulate their spiritual needs. This proactive stance involves cultivating an environment of faith that permeates daily life, making discipleship a natural extension of family interactions.As the conversation progresses, they delve into practical strategies for integrating spiritual teachings into everyday activities, such as cooking or family game nights, and how to leverage media consumption as a teaching opportunity. They underscore the importance of fostering open dialogue about faith and morality, ensuring that children are equipped to discern truth amidst cultural lies. Ultimately, the episode is a rallying cry for parents to embrace their significant role in their children's spiritual formation, encouraging them to take actionable steps toward effective discipleship, regardless of their current situation.Takeaways: Parenting should be viewed as a form of discipleship, where intentionality is key to guiding children in their faith journey. The podcast emphasizes the need for parents to engage actively in their children's spiritual development from the earliest stages of life. Discipleship is not just a church activity; it must be integrated into the home environment where kids learn to love and know God. Cultural currents often pull families away from biblical truths, necessitating a proactive approach to parenting that pushes against societal norms.

Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home

Have you ever had one of those days where the house feels like chaos—kids yelling, spaghetti boiling over, the dog barking, and your patience just… gone? You're not alone, friend. We all desire a peaceful home, but it doesn't come from a perfect routine or a magical parenting hack. It comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, I'm inviting you to actually get up with me—yes, right now—and walk through an anointing prayer for your home. Together, we'll reclaim peace, break agreement with chaos, and declare God's design over every room of your house. I'll guide you through powerful declarations, spiritual clean-up, and what it means to raise our families in a truly Spirit-filled home. Whether your kids have had too much screen time, or you've just felt disconnected and overwhelmed lately, this is your moment to pause and reset. Not with shame—but with grace and authority. You don't need fancy oil or a perfect track record—you just need to invite God in. So let's do this together. (If you do want to make your own anointing oil then go back and listen to episodes 41 and 42 to learn how to do that.) Ready to go deeper? Download your free copy of Powerful Prayers & Declarations to Ignite Revival in Your Home at RevivalMomPrays.com Or email me at alyssa@alyssarahn.com and put “Coaching” in the subject and let's see if 1:1 coaching or the Revival Mom Academy is a good fit for you.

"I suddenly knew that I had invited something bad into my home. It knocked and I would splash holy water at it. It would move and knock again. I said, I am a child of God, and you have got to go! "  --------- In this episode of Touched by Heaven, I talk with Ashley, who grew up Catholic but found it all a bit… boring. In her search for something deeper, she stumbled into the New Age. Ashley bought and read all that she could about—crystals, tarot, mediums. What followed was a spiritual darkness—things moving and knocking in the night, a daughter tormented by unseen forces, and chaos in her home. Everyone said she just needed a good cleansing… but something told her otherwise. It was time to go back. With a rosary in hand, a little help finding a miraculous medal from St. Anthony, and one powerful confession, everything changed. But how?

Genesis 2:25 So God created mankind in his own image,     in the image of God he created them;     male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell, and having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself — by Him, I say, whether they be things on earth or things in heaven. Colossians 1:19–20 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. John 13:3–5 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38–42 Resources Francie Winslow's website Heaven in Your Home Podcast – Francie Winslow The Romantic Vineyard | Debi & Tom Walter The Gospel in the Bedroom – Hot, Holy & Humorous What Is Lusting? – Hot, Holy & Humorous Episode 193: Making the Most of Your Five Senses Essential Oils Roller Balls | Amazon Mindfulness & Meditation During Sex - Hot, Holy & Humorous Great Are You Lord- All Sons & Daughters Lyrics | "It's your breath in my lungs" Episode 182: Pray About Your Sex Life (Quickie) Betrayal & Sexual Addiction with Bonny Burns – Heaven In Your Home Thanks for joining us at the virtual kitchen table for another great chat!
