| The Most Important Tool for Organizing Your Attitude, with Bethany Barendregt | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:18:02 | |
Learn how to handle perfectionism with my free workshop: NoMorePerfectionism.com The best antidote to perfectionism is to pray. Being in prayer is fruitful and most necessary to our spiritual walk and fighting sin in our lives. We should be thanking God for everything we have been given, and asking him to make us aware of our sinful desires. So ask God for grace, ask to be reminded of his perfection, ask for an increased awareness of his holiness and ask that God’s goodness and faithfulness would be manifest in your home even when things are not perfect. God delights to answer these prayers. Bethany Barendregt is wife to Alex and mama to their five kids ages 6-14. She works from home as founder/creative director for Women Encouraged and hosts their podcast, and occasionally helps as a substitute teacher at her kids’ Classical Christian school. She currently serves at her local church in women’s ministry, planning and leading Bible studies and keeping women connected in God’s word through various means. Bethany is passionate about Bible literacy and enjoys writing and speaking to share hope for everyday life, but she would love nothing more than to sit down for a cup of coffee with you and talk about how the gospel changes everything.

| When Life Feels Upside Down, with Bethany Barendregt | 10 Jan 2023 | 00:15:03 | |
Learn how to handle perfectionism with my free workshop: NoMorePerfectionism.com Sometimes our desire to do well at our vocations turns into a desire for perfectionism which leaves us discouraged and defeated. Bethany gives us the truth straight: perfectionism is idolatry we must repent of and replace with worship of our Creator. You're not going to do yourself any favors if you cling to idols. Perfectionism leads us into pride and a critical spirit and all manner of other sins. It is not the same thing as a high standard or a love of excellence - both of which must remain submitted to God's Word. Bethany Barendregt is wife to Alex and mama to their five kids ages 6-14.

| A total life makeover begins with small steps - with Gracie Madgwick | 13 Dec 2022 | 00:19:56 | |
Get a year of homemaking coaching: https://www.simplyconvivial.com/stop-overwhelm Gracie is a west coast California girl transplanted to the wheat fields of the Midwest. She loves her God-given callings of daughter of the King of kings, wife to her husband, Stephen, and mother and teacher to their eight children. Some of her greatest joys are time spent home educating her children, a good family read aloud, toddler antics, and a hot cup of British-style black tea! Before Gracie joined Simply Convivial, she felt chronic overwhelm and discouragement in addition to stress from trying to keep up but not having the tools or mindset to properly approach family home life. Gracie needed a sense of control and a set of skills, and she found those through the Simplified Organization courses. She learned that when implementing new practices in any area of life, it's hard to see our own growth. Growth is slow. It's not overnight. It's hard to notice where we've grown. So it's helpful when we can get outside input. Gracie would ask her husband because she knew he has seen her grow through this process. Gracie said: "Simplified Organization is not just self-help. There's a lot of self-help out there where you just kind of grab what you want. But the way you've structured Simply Convivial and the community coaching program is always reminding of of what God wants for us and what He calls us to." Women are the backbone of society, so we must be free from cultural lies & personal guilt and have the freedom of good habits and self-control so we can build God-honoring families and communities. 📖 Get my latest book: How to Use a Planner Without Wasting Time ➡️ Take the free daily card challenge and practice with me! 🏆 Enroll in Simply Convivial Continuing Education and get practical life management mentorship so you don't have to be overwhelmed anymore: | |||
