Parenting Through Emotions, Navigating the "I Feel, Therefore I Am Culture" and The Power of Emotions as God-Given Tools

3/27/2024
Dallas Willard said it so well when he said, “Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.” We live in the “I feel, therefore I am” culture and no longer live in truth. In today’s show, we discuss how our emotions are tools given to us by God. God values emotions and feelings, but we must have them in the right order. We discuss how parenting is a space where emotions come up often, not just for our kids but for us as parents. We go over six big emotions that arise within us and our children, and then we explore different ways to relate to these emotions. Enjoy! 6 Big emotions: 1) Jealousy 2) Fear 3) Anger 4) Grief 5) Guilt 6) Anxiety 4 Things we all need as humans: 1) Focused attention 2) Acceptance 3) Guidance 4) Protection Watch on YouTube Speaking events: Forest Home Family Camp June 23-29 Follow us on Instagram: @intentional_parents @brook_mosser @Emosser @philmcomer @dianewcomer FREE TEXT Message Daily Devotional MERCH: Gear for the journey Grab a copy of our book: Raising Passionate Jesus Followers (Now available in audiobook!)

We dive deeper into more areas around this topic, like our insecurities, how our community can help us discover our calling, and most importantly, how our calling is not about us.

How long has it been since someone- anyone- poured into you? In 2023, over 600 mothers gathered together to learn, to worship, to grow, to encourage, and to be encouraged. We are still in awe of what God did! The Spirit moved, the Father spoke, and Jesus healed. It was so incredible that we can’t wait to do it again! We want to invite you to join us October 3rd - 5th, 2024, for a three-day retreat designed to pour into you. We know the task of motherhood is both beautiful and hard, life giving and exhausting, and we want to create a space for the Spirit to refresh you on your journey. We will press into how motherhood gently leads us to spiritual formation, how relationships are essential for the journey, and how our connection with God spills over to our connection with our families. Come to where we live, in Bend, Oregon… a place of startling beauty, a place to come away from it all. Come with your best friend, your sister, your mom— come together, or come alone. This is a retreat for any stage of motherhood you find yourself in… from mothers of infants to grandmothers and women who hope to be mothers someday. There will be something for all of you! We all need each other! We truly believe that the greatest gift you can give your children, young and old, is your transforming self. It was Dallas Willard who said, “If you don’t come apart for a while, you’ll come apart after a while.” So come! Come apart for a while with us. Come, planning to be surprised by God, to find in Him the delight your soul craves. Sign Up Today!

Anger, triggers and being at your wit’s end (Replay)

1/31/2024
Today we are covering the topic of one of the eight primary emotions, anger. Anger reveals what matters to us- both good and not good. Anger becomes a warning signal, compelling humble people to look inside to identify what emotion they are experiencing and why. Fear? Hurt? Sadness? Resentment? Anger is possibly the most important feeling we experience as emotional and spiritual beings because it is the first step to authentic living. It shows our yearnings and hunger for life. We will also cover five ways to start working on being aware of your anger and how to live in the power of the Spirit. Enjoy!

Creating a Culture of Connection, Expectations, and the Phonetic Pace at Christmas

12/20/2023
In today’s show, we have Diane, Elizabeth, and Sally Lemos Lpc sharing a conversation about Christmas and all the expectations and pressures that can come up. So often, we strive to do everything, but do we know why we are doing everything? Is it to perform for others or even to prove something to ourselves? It’s so easy to make Christmas about what we want instead of focusing on something far more important: how we make others around us feel. We hope this conversation feels like you are sitting with Sally, Diane, and Elizabeth as they dive into some great stories of missing the mark and how it led them to ask these three helpful yet challenging questions: 1.
