The Reluctant Homeschool Mom. I see you. And I totally get you. When we moved back to California from Texas I knew I was going to have to homeschool our youngest two kids - and I genuinely didn't want to! Seriously, I loved having our kids in good schools. I loved having the days free to meet with friends, clean my house, go to Bible Studies, and go out to lunch with my husband. But, I also knew the Lord was calling me to this ministry of homeschooling our kids. So I asked Him for help. And guess what? He helped me - and our kids - every step of the way! This message Rhonda taught at a homeschool convention. I hope it blesses and encourages you, my friend. Thank you for joining us.

Kids Camp! It’s the best to watch the Lord work in the hearts of young children while they’re away at camp! This message from the book of Esther is one of my favorites to teach at children’s camp because God used a kids camp speaker named “Dave” to teach me the story of Esther and it changed the trajectory of my life! Take some time to LISTEN WITH YOUR KIDS to this episode. And be ready to have a good discussion with them about what makes them special! Help them realize how God’s plan for their life far exceeds anything this world has to offer! Thank you for joining us.

GUEST CAST EPISODE: Show notes iWork4Him How to Affair proof your marriage iWork4Him is a show solely focused on the intersection of our Faith in Jesus and our Work. When these two collide – fantastic things happen all around us. People start to benefit from you following Jesus whether they believe in Jesus or not. That’s when the enemy goes full on frontal attack. He wants to compromise your reputation at work so that your testimony is no longer attractive. What is one way he does this? An Affair with an office mate. Whether you are a man or a woman, A committed follower of Jesus or one just finding their way in being a Jesus Follower, the enemy wants to see you fail. How do we protect our reputation and the reputation of our savior? We need to affair proof our marriages. We need to have a solid ground to stand on at home so that our steadfastness isn’t compromised at work. Even if you are not married, an affair at work will significantly dismantle your witness as a Christian. Today joining Martha and Jim Brangenberg is Rhonda Stoppe with www.NoRegretsWoman.com Rhonda Stoppe returns to iWork4Him for another great interview about marriage. Rhonda and Steve have been married for 42 years and she knows that they continue to need to be transparent with each other and take their advice from scripture. When they were new parents Rhonda found herself dressing up for church on Sundays and appreciated the compliments of a gentleman there. After a few weeks of getting compliments she approached Steve and basically explained the situation and told him he needs to compliment her more, as she was looking forward to the compliments of the man at church. She knew this behaviour could have bad consequences and that is how most affairs get started. Applying that story to the workplace is pretty easy. We need to set good boundaries and clearly protect our marriages. We can do this by strengthening our marriages and making them a priority. We shared the 72-hour intimacy rule with her and Rhonda is going to add that to her messaging. Rhonda encouraged women to pursue their husbands. This is a successful way to affair proof your marriage. There is a road to recovery for an affair. God has forgiven us as far as the East is from the West. Don’t stop protecting your marriage. When the kids leave and our lives change we shouldn’t look elsewhere for attention. Rhonda encouraged marriages to be careful even in our virtual relationships while we work distantly. It can quickly get out of control.

God has chosen us to influence this generation through motherhood because motherhood matters like really, really matters Down through history, the first teachers of men that God raised up in their generation were not scholars. They were their mothers. We are the makers of men, the architects of the next generation. Let that sit with you. Luke Smallbone of Fourth King and Country. Do you guys know them? Love the Smallbone family. He says this about his mom. I probably owe all that I am to my mom because when a man is loved by his mother, he can end up doing great things. And there's an amazing story of him and his mother in mom's raising sons to be men. And go to the next slide. Ruth Graham, who was the mother of Billy Graham, think of her influence on her culture. Every person who came to Jesus Christ because of Ruth Graham's influence on her son, Billy Graham, that's fruit of her work. Helen's Helen's Smallbone was Luke's mom. Every song you hear written, every worship note that he sings. Did you know she's also the mom of Rebecca St. James.

Abortion - What Does the Bible Say? Oh wow, this was not an easy episode to upload. I know how controversial the subject of abortion can be. I get it. But, I also know how often women ask me, "What does the Bible Say about Abortion?" So, I feel like it's a timely topic. And I also realize that posting this episode has the potential to make or break my podcast subscriber list. But with God's courage, I press on as I press: "Publish" Prayers appreciated my friends. Please pray for the women who will listen. Pray that God stirs in us His compassion and longing to share the hope of the gospel with women who are looking for answers. Please pray that our love for Christ will spill over onto them and show them how Jesus is the one who washes us whiter than snow. And please pray that we will be like Naomi (an old lady who knows stuff) was to Ruth. May our love for God, and compassion for them draw women to trust Him too.

Is Over Parenting Turning Your Kids Away from Faith? "Control Freaks Raise Freaks" but how can a parent know the difference between controlling and concern? Resources Mentioned: Crosswalk.com Is Over Parenting Turning Your Kid Away from Faith? Moms Raising Sons to Be Men Over-parenting can feel like the right thing to do, but it's important to learn to parent in a way that helps your child mature away from dependence upon you and more upon faith In Christ. NOTE: The Opportunity to virtually attend your book club (FREE) has expired. But valid through April 30, 2023 for podcast subscribers - If you start a book club with at least 10 friends who all order a copy of the 10th Anniversary Revised Edition of Moms Raising Sons to Be Men We didn't get to this in the episode... but it's super important: So, let’s break down Deuteronomy 6:4-9: Verse 4-5: You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Your wholehearted commitment to God and His Word will demonstrate to your child how much you love God and value Scripture. Verse 6: Think about, meditate on, and memorize Scripture, so your obedience to God will be a response based upon biblical precepts. When you transform your thinking with Scripture you will be prepared to teach your kids how to speak and act in God-honoring ways, without hypocrisy. Verse 7-9: Relate your child’s everyday experiences to the Bible. This practice will make talking about spiritual matters a normal part of your conversations. When you arm your children with godly knowledge, they will learn to recognize when others are attempting to deceive them. God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). So, to keep your children from being destroyed by worldly influences and deceptions, impart knowledge from the Bible as often as the opportunity arises. This will grow their faith more than the practice of over-parenting attempts to manipulate or control their actions. The world would instruct your children to achieve their goals for their own pleasure and fame, rather than God’s glory. That is why it’s vital for you to train them to filter their opportunities and achievements through a biblical mindset. One way to lay a biblical foundation in your child’s mind is through music. (And realize that ungodly music can also be the thing that woos your child’s heart away from a godly mindset.) For example, Thank you for joining us.
