Whether your child is 3, 5, 9, 13 or 17, you are probably already confronted with, "But Sally gets to stay up late, eat this, do that, go here, fill in the blank." And I'm sure your response has ranged across permissive, mature, and full on authoritarian as you wage the war of parenthood against the world to raise children whose young and growing minds are protected, nurtured, strengthened and prepared to thrive in every aspect of their lives. But in this fight to raise Godly children, are you making your children the enemy? Episode 37 is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Wendy of the Fresh Start Family about creating order through clear boundaries, consistent follow through, empathy, kindness, and humility.

Two episodes ago, Jennifer and Emelie talked about how Order has become something often associated with control. Control often comes from a broken place, as we try to make our world and environment safe, familiar, and unchanging. Or if our parents were orderly, bordering on control, we shy away from order because it felt like manipulation and fear. But Godly order is worship of an orderly God. In this episode, Emelie and Jennifer hit all sorts of delicious topics like what is patriarchy, matriarchy? How has control of what life should look like, instead of order that tends our garden, hurt our joy and stability. Finally, before you assume it's a patriarchy, are you using a matriarchy to uphold a patriarchy? At the end of the day the only place we can create an abundance of order is when we start tending to the intimate places of our heart. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Join Jennifer and Mary DeMuth author of Love, Pray Listen, as they talk about how our internal order has more to do with our children's order than our ability to manage well or enforce outward order. This grows with a willingness to pursue our identity in Christ and let him be our all in all, so that when the day comes, and our children leave the nest and begin making their own decisions, we aren't caught in the trap of believing we can control or "order" their lives. Instead, we can Love, Pray and Listen. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press! The Playful Pioneers Volume 2 is here!!! Looking for ways to attune and repair with your children?

Join Jennifer and Katie Westenberg, author of the book, But Then She Remembered, for Ep. 33. The conversation begins with doom scrolling, what it is and why we are doing it. Doom scrolling, worry, fear for our loved ones, it's so easy to paint these things with a brush of validity. We validate why we allow fear, distraction, and worry to govern so much of our attention. If that sounds familiar to you, this is a beautiful conversation about how to fill your home with praise instead of fear. Part of restoration, part of balance, is putting God back on the throne of our lives, our concerns, and our emotions. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press! The Playful Pioneers Volume 2 is here!!!

Welcome to episode 30! Jennifer and Emelie discuss the role of balance in our spiritual, personal, and homeschool walk. Balance is not something we often think about when we're looking at spiritual disciplines. Think about it as understanding the season you're in. Are you in a season where you're really pursuing righteousness? Well, is it tempered by an acknowledgement of God's grace? Are you working on grace but forgetting about righteousness? Balance is usually what happens when we stay in step with Christ, because he is looking to bring us into relationship with himself and not another form of religion. When we are on His journey, his leadership creates balance in our lives. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press! The Playful Pioneers Volume 2 coming Summer of 2023!

In this episode, Jennifer and Emelie talk about what it looks like to steward our physical and mental well-being. As women, our hormonal cycles and our ability to be emotionally calm are inter connected. Our hormones are balanced through feeling cared for during estrogen production (follicular phase) and feeling mutual companionship during our progesterone (luteal phase). When past experiences make us feel like no one is there for us in hard times, it becomes even more difficult to engage our external world in a way that helps balance our hormones. Responsibility isn't a chore its a priviledge but in order to show up whole and at peace, we need to understand how beautifully complex our bodies are! When we know this, we can figure out how to steward our physical bodies, heal from past pain, and show up as resilient women. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!
