In a follow-up to last week’s conversation about being a spiritually attuned family, we talk this week about paying attention to how God is shaping your child’s heart. Not only that, Josh makes a big time confession that leaves Christi speechless. It’s a moment you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, we talk practically about how we pay attention to the Holy Spirit when it comes to shepherding our children’s hearts. The conversation includes:

  • Why it’s important for us as parents to press into our child’s heart and have difficult conversations
  • How to discern behavior change and steward attitudes in your children
  • How to have conversations about the messages our kids take in through video games, music, television, etc.
  • What it looks like to walk the tightrope of support / challenge with your kids
  • How to encourage and follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in your child’s life
  • Ways we specifically champion our children’s hearts right now

Welcome to season 9 of the Famous at Home podcast! Welcome to season 9 of the Famous at Home podcast! Wow, thank you to everyone journeying with us! We love getting to do life alongside you!

No doubt 2020 was a year of chaos and disruption. Every one of us more than ready to enter 2021. Although a new year means a clean slate, life will always have its challenges. Not far into 2021 we already had another national crisis. Throw in world events, a pandemic, school cancellations, and not to mention personal illness or family crises, how do we navigate the new year as a family?

In this episode, we raise one question we keep asking in our home, “How can be famous at home and love our neighbor in all that’s happening around us?” To answer that question, we put together a family survival guide to being famous at home in 2021! Some highlights include: 

	•	How to manage fear
	•	How to talk to our kids about and navigate world and national events our respective countries
	•	What does it mean for us to love our neighbor?

Together, let’s set the tone for what God wants to do in 2021!

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:1-4
One of the best ways to teach kids discipline is t One of the best ways to teach kids discipline is through fasting. It’s important for them to learn that when they fill their lives with stuff, they leave less room for God. Some of this stuff could be the use of unkind words, whining and complaining, devices, TV time, social media, sugary drinks or foods, and more.

In this 5 minute episode, Josh and Christi talk about a recent experience they had fasting as a family. They encourage your family to do the same as they provide helpful ways to do so.

What better time to do this than in the beginning of a new year?!

We hope you’ve been enjoying our “Best of” s We hope you’ve been enjoying our “Best of” series! Do you have an annoyance in your marriage that seems to rear its ugly head every now and again? That one issue that seems to block you and your spouse from being on the same team. In-laws. Finances. How you parent your kids. Where you spend the holidays. We all seem to have that one elephant. You know it’s there, but most of the time it’s hibernating in the cold, dark, corner of the basement, out of sight. Yet, every now and again, you feel the elephant coming up the stairs. Your reaction might be to pretend he’s not coming. Or it might be that you see him walk into your living room so you obviously have to talk about him. So you do. You argue about him. You try to find a way to get him back into your basement, out of sight, but you can’t agree on how to do that. 

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about their own elephant. They also give practical ways to finally address that one issue in your marriage and why talking about it actually takes away its power. For the sake of your marital intimacy, talk about the elephant.
