Welcome | Podcast #001

Hello Friends

I have been working on creating a Podcast for a very long time and with the Grace of God, it has been launched! Two years ago I wrote in my journal: “I have a message that needs to be heard”. I attended a conference for women who wanted to use their voice, their words, in ministry. I was told that I needed a platform. I didn’t have a website or even a Facebook account. I knew I didn’t want to build my own platform but wanted to be a reflection of God’s love to equip and encourage others ( Eph 4:12). It was a slow path but I believe God used it for his Glory and I am so excited about this new journey.

I convinced by husband, Gregg, to be my co-host. He was quite reluctant at first, but we are having so much fun. Many of you already know my background and credentials and you are aware that I have a passion for shaping new behaviors. After working for schools, universities, for-profit organizations, and publicly funded programs, I have determined that there are too many families and caregivers who are unable to access useful, factual information addressing concerns regarding behavior and the many domains of child development.

My husband Gregg and I have been in ministry most of our lives. Gregg is a fourth generation minister and we met in church; he was 9 and I was 6! A few years ago, God called us to pastor a church in the small town where we grew up. We know that God has ordered our steps in so many ministry and life experiences that launching this podcast was a very natural step toward this God-given vision to allow us to serve others and minister in a far reaching capacity (1 Chron 4:10)

In upcoming episodes, we will cover topics such as TECHNOLOGY USE WITH OUR CHILDREN, HOW TO USE VERBAL PRAISE OR WORDS OF AFFIRMATION WITH OUR LITTLE ONES AS A FORM OF REINFORCEMENT, WE WILL DISCUSS PLAY BEING THE OCCUPATION OF CHILDREN, tantrum behaviors, and many other topics that are important to families, caregivers and therapists. WE will always have a SHINE THE LIGHT MOMENT where we feature a ministry or a non-profit and we will be offering some great family-centered faith-building items in our GIVE AWAYS.

Our podcast topics and tips are commonsensical, based on research, years of experience, and infused with practical, biblical principles.

We hope to encourage you, our listener, as we reject the mom-guilt or caregiver guilt we so often see and strengthen your ability and confidence in God-centered, smart, parenting.
