Calling All Grandparents!!! Larry Fowler joins us. He is the founder of the Legacy Coalition which invests specifically in grandparents. He has been in ministry for over 40 years and really cares about the role of grandparents within family.  Legacy Coalition started in 2016 and is designed with grandparents in mind. Larry Fowler and his wife felt a nudge from God to start this ministry and fill in the gaps within the church where grandparents exist – because they are worth investing in!   “Navigating issues from the parent’s perspective AND the grandparent's perspective is pivotal.” - Larry Fowler   2 Main Ideas:   When grandparents aren’t believers and don’t influence the kids the way the parents want them to...   How are parents/grandparents partner successfully when it comes to raising the kids?  Here are things we discuss in the podcast: Consistency is key. Some grandparents want to spoil their kids, and some are rule followers. In both cases, these grandparents need to try to build consistency with their kids who are now parents.  There is a biblical model for grandparents. They don’t stop parenting, but they do stop being the primary caregivers. They have more of an influence role.  Does what they are doing engage the relationship or damage the relationship?  Grandparents can have great influence in the world of technology by engaging their grandkids by asking them questions and letting them explain technology to them rather than complaining about the kids’ usage of technology.  “Grandparents, you are still a parent (noun) but are no longer parenting (verb) the grandkids.” - Larry Fowler  Legacy Coalition is an amazing resource for parents AND grandparents – if you need help, click the link below for more information.   Podcast Resources: Legacy Coalition Information Join the 5 Day Family Challenge  Visit the CCF Store  Follow us on Instagram

Do you want respect from your kids? We valued this in our home, but what did it look like? Does respect equate to obedience? Talking in the correct tone and verbiage? If you want your kids to “Respect” you, there are a few things you need to consider investing in. In today’s episode we are going to discuss the battle for respect within a home. It looks different for every child at every age.   If respect is a constant battle in your home, then this episode is for you! Let’s jump in!   Things to unpack:  What is your definition of respect? How did this play out in your home when you had small kids? Get on their eye level and use your words to direct them. Show them respect when changing activities, treat them older than they are- like people not like lesser than.  Middle aged? Give them more responsibilities and opportunities to be given respect  And now older kids? As a parent you are building respect in the younger years for this season! Now is the time to talk with respect to your child. Use questions, conversation, mistakes to grow respect. What is at the heart of respect? To like and value someone . What is it about for the small, middle-aged, and older kid? How do we find the root issue? (these are good but we did not address this... remember for another time)  How did you correct your kids when they “disrespected” you? Point it out- call it disrespect, and above all else be an example of respecting them first! Verses:  Proverbs 23:22 - Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.  Proverbs 1:8-9 - Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. (9) They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.  Exodus 20:12 - Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.  Conclusion: What are 1-2 ways parents can cultivate mutual respectfulness in their homes? What do they do if they feel like it’s hopeless and their kids can’t unlearn their behaviors?  Clear the slate: Ask for forgiveness  Pay attention to your tone & facial expressions  Have a conversation to define respect and the desire for it in your relationships  Podcast Resources: Join the 5 Day Family Challenge  Visit the CCF Store  Follow us on Instagram

We are back with the Littles, Middles, and Bigs conversation and the topic we are breaking down is – waiting!   There are so many scriptures that help us show our kids God’s way to wait. If your child struggles with patience or waiting well – then start by reading through these scriptures to equip yourself with TRUTH to teach your kids from.   Ephesians 4:32  Psalm 21:14  Isaiah 40:31  Psalm 37:7   Galatians 6:9  “Waiting with God is a good thing and teaching our kids to wait is essential.” - Suz  How do you teach your Littles, Middles, and Bigs to wait? Here are a few practical tips for each age group. Check them out and apply them to your kids  Littles: Share the plan and remind them why we are waiting/how long we need to wait  Recognize the battle of wills and don’t allow it to generate anger  Give them something practical to do while they wait   Middles: Realize it’s more about emotional and spiritual maturity  How we can come alongside them and expose them to the things of the world  The goal is to be informed not permissive when it comes to things of the world  Reminding your child that you are for them  Bigs: Realize they want to do things they are not physically ready to do   Teach waiting by showing how you value them + a relationship with them   Don't wait too long to be done waiting  No matter what season your children are in, waiting is part of their everyday life. As parents, when we learn how to steward the “waiting seasons” well, we build strong relationships with our kids.   So, go parents and practice waiting well with your kids! When done well, it will help your kids mature physically, emotionally, and spiritually!   “On the other side of waiting is goodness.” - Suz  Podcast Resources: Sign up for the 3 Week Cohort on Effective Correction Join the 5 Day Family Challenge  Visit the CCF Store  Follow us on Instagram  

What do you do if your child does not know God?   Today we are unpacking the Kid-God line and as parents, we get the first and deepest opportunity to show our kids Jesus BUT it is not up to us to make the decision for them.   “What we want is for our kids to KNOW God, not just know about him - but really really know Him for themselves.” - Suz  Main things we discuss:  A child’s faith timeline  Create space for child to build their own relationship with God   How God uses the fear of our kids not knowing Him  Selling Jesus to our kids – we MUST!  “God wants your children to know Him MORE than you do! When we believe this, we get to partner with God and work within HIS plan for our child’s faith.” - Suz  This episode unpacks practical ways for you to sell Jesus to your kids without forcing a relationship on them – or worse – expecting and judging our kids into knowing God. Following Jesus is relational and when we focus on this aspect of Christianity, our kids are attracted to it. Even in middle school and on, they are wired and designed for relationships. When you show them a loving, present, gracious God – they will want to know more!  A few ways to invest in the Kid-God relational line: Create space for curiosity   Get on your knees and pray against the enemy   Share your testimony and why you love following God  NEVER GIVE UP  Lastly, we unpack the ALIVE method. This is a CCF acronym we fully explain in our Building Family Relationships Guide.

Happy Valentine's Day, Parents! Ready to love on your marriage this week? Don and Suz answer your questions about how to take care of your marriage. If you are looking for inspiration and practical ways to build your marriage relationship line- this podcast is made for you!    Questions we’ve gotten about marriage: How do you invest time in your marriage?   1. Get date nights with your spouse!! It’s so valuable to spend intentional times with your spouse and if finances if a hindrance, get creative and find friends who would kid trade for a night. The benefits of being away from kids for an extended period of time can help create connections and a space to dream about your family’s future.    “Men often care about building a life with their teammate and investing in the marriage relationship by dreaming about what is next.” - Suz   “Women love getting a break from the constant needs and it fills up their cup. And we love having adult conversation.” - Suz  “Date nights are a must – if you don’t feel connected to your spouse – date nights are essential.” -Don and Suz   2. Go to bed together! Suzanne remembers asking Don to go to bed with her. She remembers her parents didn’t and she valued the sacrifice Don made to stay up later than he planned to spend a few moments processing with Suz before bed. It will change in certain seasons but going to bed together creates space for connection.    3.Sit by each other. A lot of parents are bookends for their kids (playing defense) but we chose to sit together no matter what. So much so it feels weird when we don’t sit next to each other.    4. Get your kids out of your bed!! This may be easier said then done (or controversial in today's society) BUT it gives both spouses a better chance of getting lucky😊 AND its a sacred space for connection between husband and wife.   How do you “learn” your spouse?  "Learning each other was essential in our first decade of marriage because we did not know how the other person operated. It took time to figure each other out but it was worth it!  Often conflict and decision making were the main ways we learned how the other one operated." Suz  Don remembers the marriage getting better by the decade and working hard to understand each other’s differences is to our benefit, not detriment.    Both Don and Suz use the eneagram to help them learn their spouse. The 5 Love Languages also helped them know how to love and interact with their spouse in any given season.    No matter how old your marriage is, the goal is to be good to each other and build a life together you can submit to God when you reach Heaven.   A great question to ask yourself, is “what are you doing to take care of your marriage? How are you investing and finding new tools to help you have the best marriage possible.”    One of Suz’s favorite things is the shift in their humility- they went from always thinking their way was the right way. Now it is more of a place of connections. She feels like they come into situations with more of an open mind and heart to hear the other person out and decide together.    “When you accept your spouse, they will feel more accepted.” - Don   It’s simple but changing your perspective of how your spouse should act, respond, or love is essential to helping your marriage thrive. As a spouse, it is powerful to work on ourselves and change our perspective when our spouse interacts with us.    Main point: look at intent.    It’s not often the spouse is trying to deliberately hurt the other spouse. Our perspective needs to be benefit of the doubt instead of offense. It allows us to be kinder and more compassionate.    “A common phrase we say is, ‘we are on the same team- they are for me!’” - Suz   This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to insights from Don and Suz's 30+ years of marriage. Hopefully you heard one takeaway you can start practicing TODAY! Podcast Resources:  Join the 5 Day Family Challenge  Visit the CCF Store  Follow us on Instagram
