Épisode 135

lundi 27 janvier 2025 • Durée 56:18

When we think of heroes, we might picture warriors or kings—but what about mothers? This episode dives into the lives of two extraordinary women who forever changed the course of Israel’s history: Deborah, a national leader, and Jael, a stay-at-home mom. Both women stepped boldly into their God-given roles and proved that no position is too small or too great for God to use.

In this inspiring finale to our series on women in Scripture, Catherine is joined by Dr. Sandra Richter, renowned Bible scholar and creator of the video series The Epic of Eden: Deborah, Unlikely Heroes in the Book of Judges. Together, they shed light on the lives of these women and the profound lessons they offer for today’s believers.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

Deborah: A Mother in Israel
Discover how Deborah shattered societal norms to lead her nation as a judge, prophet, and military strategist—all while embracing her identity as a "mother in Israel."
Jael: The Unexpected Hero
Learn how Jael, armed with nothing but household tools, courageously defeated Sisera, proving that faith and bravery can transform even the simplest actions into acts of divine deliverance.
God’s Calling Transcends Culture
Explore the patriarchal backdrop of ancient Israel and how God’s plans for Deborah and Jael defied the expectations of their time.
A Message for Today
Whether leading in the public sphere or influencing from the heart of the home, Deborah and Jael show us that God uses mothers to accomplish His purposes. Their stories challenge and encourage us to step boldly into the roles God has called us to.
Setting the Record Straight
Gain fresh insights into Barak’s character and how his partnership with Deborah highlights the value of faith-filled collaboration.

Why This Matters:
Deborah and Jael’s stories remind us that God doesn’t measure significance by status or title. From the highest leader in the land to a mother in her tent, God equips and calls women to vital roles in His Kingdom.

How Gratitude Can Radically Change Your Future - Ep. 128

Épisode 128

lundi 25 novembre 2024 • Durée 18:41

Gratitude plays a pivotal role in the life of a Christian, serving as a cornerstone for spiritual growth and alignment with God's will. It's not just a fleeting feeling of thankfulness, but a profound, daily practice that transforms our perspectives and opens the door to divine blessings. In fact, gratitude has the power to radically change your future and the future of your family.

But a lack of gratitude can change your future as well.

In this special Thanksgiving episode, Catherine dives into the transformative power of gratitude by exploring how the Israelites failure to be grateful led to a 40-year-detour in the desert, where their humble and benevolent leader actually prayed for God to take him out. Gratitude will open the door for God’s blessings and favor to flow, or it can shut the door to the future God has planned.

Key takeaways include:

· Gratitude in the Bible: The Israelites' ingratitude delayed their entry into the Promised Land by 40 years, showing how a lack of thankfulness can have serious consequences.

· Negative Impact of Ingratitude: Being ungrateful fosters fear, distrust, and idolatry, affecting our relationship with God and others.

· Gratitude as Protection: A grateful heart can shield us from sinful behaviors like greed and obscene talk, aligning our focus with God’s goodness.

· Practical Gratitude: Making a list of things we're thankful for and displaying it can help combat fear and anxiety.

· Daily Gratitude: Incorporating thankfulness into our daily routines can transform our outlook and unlock God's blessings.

· Faith in Tough Times: Even when facing difficult circumstances, practicing gratitude can provide peace and open doors for future blessings.

This episode is filled with biblical insights, personal stories, and practical takeaways to help you and your family choose gratitude over grumbling—even when life gets hard.

What Is Our Culture Teaching Our Kids about Sexuality - Episode 47

lundi 7 novembre 2022 • Durée 34:54

Biblical sexuality and cultural sexuality are diametrically opposed to one another. Our kids are neck deep in a culture that says everything the Bible teaches on sexuality is not only wrong but oppressive, divisive, and hateful.

As parents, we need to know what our culture is saying about sexuality. We must know where these ideas are coming from and how to talk to our kids about it.

In part 3 of a 4-part series on sexuality, Catherine and her guest break down our culture’s definition of sexuality starting with the philosophical roots and ending with the barbaric fruits.

Joining her again is Erin Barry, an author, speaker, counselor, and educational consultant. Erin has a bachelor’s degree in education, a master’s degree in counseling, and is working on her doctorate in Christian counseling with an emphasis on the topic of sexuality. Erin and her husband Brett are founders of The Home Educated Mind, a Christ-centered community dedicated to providing materials and support for Christian parents.

How To Talk To Your Kids about Biblical Sexuality - Episode 46

lundi 31 octobre 2022 • Durée 31:41

Some topics that CPCW covers are relevant to lot of parents and a lot of kids, but the topic of sexuality is relevant to ALL parents and ALL kids. We cannot escape this issue in our families and our friendship circles.

So who defines our sexuality?

Our celebrities, our politicians, our teachers and school administrators, our friends, our feelings… or God.

If we want to call ourselves Christ followers, the answer to that question must be God because He designed our sexuality. And the parameters He places around it in His Word are not there to oppress us and deny our authentic selves. Those parameters exist to bless us and to bring us freedom.

In part 2 of a 4-part series on sexuality, Catherine discusses the loving parameters that God places around our sexuality to protect us and how can we communicate Biblical sexuality to our kids.

Joining her again is Erin Barry, an author, speaker, counselor, and educational consultant. Erin has a bachelor’s degree in education, a master’s degree in counseling, and is working on her doctorate in Christian counseling with an emphasis on the topic of sexuality. Erin and her husband Brett are founders of The Home Educated Mind, a Christ-centered community dedicated to providing materials and support for Christian parents.

How Do We Help Our Kids to Understand Biblical Sexuality? - Episode 45

lundi 24 octobre 2022 • Durée 31:15

Your kids cannot go into a public restroom these days, turn on the television, go to school, or play high school or collegiate sports without being confronted with the question of sexuality.

Who defines it?

Our politicians, our celebrities, our educators, our feelings… or God?

This is the most relevant cultural issue of our day. The question of sexuality goes to the very core of who we are as human beings. Are we made in our own image according to our own feelings, or are we made in God’s image according to His design?

In this first episode of a four-part series on sexuality, Catherine digs into what God has to say about our sexuality.

We need to be having discussions with our kids about this topic because the world is. Our voice needs to be a trusted source of truth for our kids to navigate the dangerous secular landmine of their sexual identity.

Joining Catherine for this vitally important discussion is Erin Barry, an author, speaker, counselor, and educational consultant. Erin has an M.A. in counseling and works professionally as both a counselor and consultant, and she is working on her doctorate in counseling where she is specializing in the field of sexuality. Erin and her husband Brett have founded the “The Home Educated Mind,” a Christ-centered community dedicated to providing materials and support for Christian parents.

Have You Or Your Kids Been Wounded in the Church? - Episode 44

lundi 10 octobre 2022 • Durée 26:58

Sometimes we can feel like the walking wounded in the church. Some people will jump from church to church trying to forget their wounds. Others will leave the church altogether. The injuries we incur in these close quarters can follow us around for a lifetime if we let them.

In this episode, Catherine talks about the wounds that can happen when we walk closely with other believers in the church. She also reveals the central role that the church plays in our lives as believers and in the world, because knowing that divine design helps us to stay planted when we are tempted to leave.

Then Catherine offers FOUR STEPS you can take when you or your kids have been wounded in the church.

When we realize how important the church is for our individual purpose in life, we can make sense of why we get wounded there. The answer isn’t remaining a Christian casualty. The answer is finding healing through God in the church.

Why Does Abuse Happen in the Church?--Episode 43

lundi 26 septembre 2022 • Durée 28:23

Abuse in the church is hard to understand ourselves, much less to explain to our kids. But we need to have these conversations.

CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD focusses on topics that can build our kid’s faith or tear it down. This is most certainly one of those dangerous topics that can tear down their faith as they get older, causing them to leave the church and Christianity altogether.

Why does this happen?

In this episode, Catherine looks at an underlying root cause, and then she points us towards we want and need to offer to our kids—that is hope and healing.

Three Steps to Take When You Or Your Kids Are Judged - Episode 42

lundi 12 septembre 2022 • Durée 24:16

Being under the scrutiny of a fellow believer is such a painful place to be. And when someone judges our kids, we often feel it more than they do. If we don’t deal with the judgements of others properly, the wounds can lead us and our kids away from the body of Christ and from the faith.

Judging is going to happen in the church, and as we have learned in this series, that is by design. We are supposed to keep one another accountable, and we need to respond properly.

Catherine gives the most practical advice yet in this final episode on judging by properly defining the criteria of a Godly judgement. Then Catherine show us how to respond when we are judged.

Six Problems We Encounter When It Comes to Judging - Episode 41

lundi 5 septembre 2022 • Durée 25:44

As parents, we have to judge the actions of our kids. And we live in families, neighborhoods, communities, and churches where we hold each other accountable. So sometimes that requires us to assess the actions of other people. (Especially the little people who live with us.) We have to consider the fruit in people’s lives, as Jesus said to do. And they have to do that with us as well.

But in that process, there can be some problems. If not done properly, judging can create wounds in our lives and in the lives of our kids. We want to avoid these pitfalls, so we need to address them head on.

In this episode, Catherine continues in a series on judging by discussing the problems we encounter when it comes to examining the lives of others. They are:

1. Judging the motive, not the action.
2. Adding to God’s standard.
3. Judging without love.
4. Judging with grace.
5. Thinking that stating God’s standard is judging.
6. Not judging at all.

Knowing these difficulties can help us to avoid some serious spiritual hazards and heal from relationship wounds.
