Making Room for God

This episode highlights the act of surrender in the parenting ring of the concentric circles. Mother and son duo Leigh and Tucker Gray tell a beautiful story of drug addiction and redemption highlighting the sovereignty of God.  As parents who are believers we want to live in the surrender of knowing our kids are not our own. They are not ours to get our identity from, to live vicariously through, or to idolize and control. Our children are gifts to steward and receive as a part of our own sanctification as we release them into the hands of our good Father.

As we continue to look at living life from the bullseye of the concentric circles, we are discovering what it looks like for singles to trust God in their seasons. Joyce Masser and Laura Watson share a glimpse of how their season of widowhood and singleness have been shaped by Jesus. Finally, Carlie Gee shares a song she has written and composed: "Worship While You Wait". We are excited to share Carlie's anthem for singles with you, and we trust that the beauty of her gifts will bless anyone who has endured waiting. We pray that these words and music will ignite a passion in all of us to trust God in all seasons.

Join our conversation as we discuss what it looks like to live from the bullseye in seasons of being single. Our friend and sister Abbey Gholson takes a seat at the table to talk about the hardships and beauties of trusting the Lord as she waits on Him and experiences His guidance as a single mom. We pray you'll be encouraged by her journey!

As we continue to look at living life from the bullseye of the concentric circles, we are unpacking the circle that includes loving our closest neighbor, and for married women that neighbor is our husband. Kathy Whetstone and Donna Offutt share a glimpse of how their marriages have been shaped by Jesus. Finally, Brian and Tracy Orr use their talents for the instrumentals and sing "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury. We pray that these words and beautiful music will ignite a passion in all of us to prioritize our marriages.

Join our conversation as we discuss the next ring of the concentric  circles: marriage! From neglecting our spouses to idolizing a "good" marriage, we can find ourselves easily falling out of God's design for the union that can bring Him so much glory. Prioritizing our marriages leads to fruitfulness when we learn to live from the bullseye. See the attached resource to dive in further! MRFG Ep 41 Worksheet MRFG Ep 41 Worksheet
