The journey of parenting takes you through all kinds of moments, which sometimes means really difficult or even scary situations. The good news is, they don't have to pull you under. Join Ginger and Erin as they welcome back Dave Barnes and Jon McLaughlin from the Dadville podcast for some real talk that will encourage you as you navigate each child's individual personality and parent well, even in hard seasons.

WALK IT OUT:

Often our own pain impacts the way we parent our kids. Take some time and ask God to show you how to walk out your own healing journey with Him so you can teach your kids from a place of wholeness.  He's ready to help you with each situation, conversation, and challenge you'll face together.

READ IT OUT: Psalm 103:13 – James 1:5 – Proverbs 22:6  - Isaiah 43:2

How many times have you come across a verse or a passage in the Bible that made you stop and say, "WHAT?!" Sometimes, at first glance, there are scriptures that may seem confusing, and that's why we all need a little help! Join Joyce, Ginger, Erin, and our friend Lisa Harper on the pink couch as we talk through everything from Jerry Springer situations in the Old Testament, to where the giants came from, to why Jesus yelled at a fig tree. Yes, a fig tree.

WALK IT OUT:

What's one passage or verse from today's episode that got your attention? What did it show you about God's character? Take a minute to ask Him to show you how to respond when you encounter situations in the Bible that just don't make sense, and write out what He shows you.

Read it out: Jeremiah 33:3, John 16:13, Hebrews 4:12

When was the last time you prayed a big prayer? Like, a really BIG prayer? Like a "God-will-You-move-this-mountain" kind of prayer?

If it's been a long time, today's episode with Joyce, Ginger and Erin will be a shot of faith to help you pray bigger, bolder, and more confident prayers than ever before. Get ready to hope again in 2024!

WALK IT OUT:

What's one prayer you've given up on? Take a moment to write it out and invite God to help bring it to fruition. Remember, He's bigger than every challenge and disappointment that's tried to steal your hope, and He is FOR you. May this year be the year you ask God for the BIG things—and trust Him along the way!

Scriptures: Ephesians 3:20, Matthew 19:26, Jeremiah 32:17

I can't believe she said that!

In a new episode, Ginger and Erin dare to say out loud those things you've perhaps thought but most people aren't willing to share. Those secret confessions that make you feel isolated or "less than" when in reality, we all have our stuff. So, let's get real and deal with it together. Is it…

A challenge with one of your kids that makes you want to do anything but spend time with them?

The quiet-yet-nagging thought that maybe faith isn't worth having anymore?

Whatever you need to get off your chest, join us and find out just how not-alone you are.

WALK IT OUT:

Which challenge was your hardest in 2023? Whether it was losing a loved one, relationship struggles, an opportunity falling through or a deep sense of doubt, know that you're not alone! Spend a couple minutes talking it out with God—whatever hurts, whatever feels impossible, whatever dreams may feel too slow in arriving. Know that even when it feels otherwise, He's listening, He's with you, and there is good ahead.

Scriptures: Isaiah 40:31, Romans 15:13

Did you know your thoughts play a big role in your relationships? It's true—a simple idea can either wreak havoc or solidly establish your connections with the people around you. Check out this episode with Joyce, Ginger, Erin, and Love McPherson for a crash course on finding and replacing unhealthy, damaging thoughts with thinking that will help your relationships flourish for the long haul.

WALK IT OUT:

Who do you find yourself the most frustrated with? What kind of thoughts normally fill your mind about the people who get on your nerves? Take a minute to write them out. Look at them. These are your thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you which parts are true, but lack love, and which ones need His fuller perspective. Invite Him to help you, and He'll give you grace to become quicker to listen, slower to speak and slower to get angry.

Scriptures: 1 Peter 4:8, James 1:19-20, Colossians 3:14

Lonely. The word MANY people—whether they're homebound or in the middle of a crowd—would use to describe themselves. No matter your life circumstances or relationship status, we all feel alone at times, and thankfully, we can all do something about it! Check out this episode with Joyce, Ginger, Erin, and our friend and relationship expert Love McPherson for some practical steps and truths from Scripture to help you fight and overcome loneliness when it tries to bring you down. 

WALK IT OUT:

The next time you feel lonely, remember that you are deeply wanted and loved by God. Take a minute to look up the verses below and invite the Holy Spirit to make His presence more real to you…and show you at least one person in your life you can begin to cultivate a healthy friendship with. He loves you so much and wants you to feel close to Him and to have life-giving connections with others, too. We love you!

Scriptures: Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 28:20, Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 68:5-6

POP QUIZ: Who wants to help you at every turn, offer insight, comfort, and answers when there seem to be none? 

If you said the Holy Spirit, you're absolutely right! Join Joyce, Ginger and Erin for a conversation that will help you understand and be encouraged by the Holy Spirit, who wants to give you the grace you need for every challenge you face, no matter how big or small.

WALK IT OUT:

Do you want to be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit but you're not sure how? Or maybe it's been a while since you've felt close to God? Take a few minutes to invite Him to make Himself real to you. It may happen in a moment or over time, but we're believing that as you pray and seek God, you WILL find Him and experience the closeness and peace of His Spirit in you.

Scriptures: Luke 11:13, Isaiah 30:21, John 16:13

We have heard you loud and clear…we want more Dave Meyer! So it's time for a marriage discussion, part 2, that you don't want to miss.  In this episode, Dave's back on the pink couch with Joyce, Ginger, and Erin to talk through even more of the many lessons they've learned in their nearly 57 years married that will help you think the right way when it comes to your spouse so you can maintain, build, or prepare for a loving, godly, life-giving marriage. 

And make sure you check out episode 67 to hear part 1 with Dave and Joyce!

WALK IT OUT:

How are you thinking about yourself? How are you thinking about your spouse? Ask God to help you see the way your thoughts are taking you when it comes to your spouse. If something surfaces that you need to deal with, invite Him to help you know the right timing, wording, and approach so you can reach a solution where you both win.

Also, dive into 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and ask God to help you both to love each other well as you relate to each other. No marriage is perfect, but God's love is, and as we lean on Him to help us, He'll give us grace to be more and more like Him in the ways we relate to our spouse. 

Scriptures: Colossians 3:14 – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
