Wars and rumors of wars, economic troubles, end times prophecy? If we are paying attention, we know that the times we are facing in the years to come are guaranteed to be tumultuous, wrought with difficulty, also some incredible miracles, but definitely change on a scale the likes of which we have never seen. How do you raise a remnant who is prepared for what they will face in their lifetime? How do you train them and give them what they will need to stand strong in uncertain times? If you have ever asked these questions, this episode is for you. I feel like the Lord has been talking to me about some keys that will help our children traverse the years ahead, and I want to share them with you.

The word discern is a translation of the Greek word anakrino in the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations.

The times and seasons we find ourselves in at home, nationwide and globally, is going to require incredible discernment from our kids. No, we can't keep them from never making a mistake or missing some important queue, but we can help them grow in their ability to discern WELL and be wise. Today I want to talk about practical ways to help your child grow in this area.

Anyone who is a parent, has "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" of our kids hiding something from us. Whether they hide something big, something embarrassing, or something small, every parent will traverse this issue at some point in their parenting journey. If we are going to raise a remnant, we have to help our kids get to the root of WHY we want to hide from the very people who love us most. Today, I want to discuss some deep revelation the Lord has given me in regard to this topic. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I felt like I HAD to share it with all of you!

I have often said that the rules we make should mirror the relationship we want our kids to have with God, others, and themselves. In this episode, I want to take that a step further and talk about how we use guidelines as a way to teach our children to steward the freedom that is their birthright in Christ. Let me say that again, "freedom is a birthright". And learning to walk in that freedom is an incredibly important part of being a REMNANT.

In today's episode, I want to flip the script on how we present change, transition, and challenges to our children. I want to share how God has taught our family to navigate these things AS A UNIT! As parents, there is often pressure to shield our kids from hard things. But I believe that not only sells them short but also teaches them to sell God short. Let's talk about letting them into our pain and hardship in a way that teaches them who God is and gives our children to see themselves as valued members of our families and the Kingdom of Heaven.

I am SOOO Excited for this episode! Today I am joined by a very good friend of mine, Shelbi Micken. As a former children's pastor and the owner of Awaken International Inc, a non-profit organization that exists to Awaken children to their true calling in Christ, Shelbi has some amazing wisdom to share about creating space for our children to encounter God. I believe that we, as parents, have a calling to help equip our "remnant" by training them to encounter God and learn to hear His voice personally and corporately within our homes and beyond. #raisingtheremnant #remnantgeneration #children #family #God #discipleship #mother #motherhood

In order to raise a remnant, I believe we need to understand the tools available to us for equipping them. We must invite our children into the process of utilizing these tools, as a family unit. It doesn't matter where you are starting this journey, begin with one step. Step into seeing Biblical tools in a new way and learn alongside your children in how to use them. #raisingtheremnant #remnantgeneration #children #family #God #discipleship #mother #motherhood #mom

This is a VERY fun and exciting episode for me. I am joined by my two "remnants", Warrior and Legend, to announce something very near and dear to our family's heart! We can't wait to share it with you!
