Description

What makes a truly "good home" in God's eyes?

In this episode of Bringing Hope Home, Bryce and Colette Schaffer dive deep into the fruit of goodness and how it transforms our homes from survival mode to abundance mode.

As parents of three adult children and with nearly 20 years of pastoral experience, they share practical wisdom on creating a home environment where love, intentionality, and Christ-centered priorities flourish.

Key Topics Covered:

* Moving from survival mode to abundance mode in family life

* Putting the "big rocks" first - prioritizing God and family over busyness

* Creating generous hearts in our children through intentional family time

* Setting healthy boundaries while maintaining flexibility

Scripture References:

Joshua 24:15 - "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"

1 Peter 4:9 - "Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling"

Practical Takeaways:

✓ Stop giving your family the "leftovers" of your energy

✓ Use boundaries to protect what matters most

✓ Make serving others a family adventure

Perfect for:

* Parents feeling overwhelmed by busy schedules

* Families stuck in survival mode

* Couples wanting to create Christ-centered homes

* Anyone seeking to live out the fruit of the Spirit in daily life

Remember: This isn't about having a perfect home - it's about creating a home filled with God's goodness, where your children feel loved, secure, and equipped to serve the Lord.
