LPOP 84 Should I Hate Common Core?

Let"s Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage,... ·

2018/08/27

My good friend (and top 5 finisher for the Florida State Teacher of the Year) Patrick Farley joins me again for a very helpful explanation of philosophy and methods behind Common Core. As a parent, I’ve mostly been frustrated with my inability to help my 4th grader do math homework. As a Christian, I’ve heard concerns that Common Core is designed to destroy my children’s moral foundation. Patrick helps walk me through the truth and the hyperbole. If you have friends that are educators, I HIGHLY

LPOP 83 One Year After Chemo

2018/08/20

One year, one week, and one day ago we celebrated my son’s last dose of chemo. On this week’s podcast I share the essay I wrote for that occasion, as well as thoughts from a dad with one full year of no treatment and no relapse under our belt. Here’s my original essay: We are done with chemo, and I’m a little bit afraid. As of today, we are done with all chemo treatment. I can’t believe I’m actually writing this. On April 14, 2014, our family’s world was turned upside down when we were told our

LPOP 80 Two Ways to Get People to Like You

Let"s Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage,... ·

2018/07/30

I know, this sounds like the most manipulative, self-help title I can imagine. But the principles are totally Biblical. Going a little further in my reading of Dale Carnegie’s classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, I was shocked to realize that Carnegie’s strategy for getting people to like you is simply a practical working out of God’s command to us in Philippians 2:3-4 Philippians 2:3–4 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than

LPOP 79 How to win hearts and influence your family

Let"s Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage,... ·

2018/07/24

I recently found a copy of Dale Carnegie’s classic How to Win Friends and Influence People in the bargain rack at my local bookstore. Honestly I had very low expectations. And I was very wrong. The book is largely an exposition of the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” As I’ve worked through the chapters I realize that the principles given in this book, if applied, would absolutely change the tone of relationships in our homes. It’s not about manipulation, it’s

LPOP 78 Choosing a Church for your Family

2018/07/16

Your church family can inspire your household towards deeper faith in Christ and years of meaningful service. It can also sow doubts about Jesus, hurt your marriage, and stir seeds that lead your children to abandon the faith. On today’s podcast I talk about choosing a healthy church for your family. If you’re already happily nestled in the church of your dreams, I want to encourage you to listen because this is still going to be really important for you to hear. But if you find yourself between

2018/07/07

Have you ever been driving along and experienced an accident, or even a near-miss accident? Things happen so fast, your body essentially takes over before your mind knows what’s going on. Do you remember how you felt in the moments after you got through the event? As your brain begins to comprehend what happened, your adrenaline is still pumping, and suddenly your emotions catch up with the reality of what could have happened. The event might only last for seconds, but the emotional recovery can

LPOP 76 Self-care in the Midst of Crisis

Let"s Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage,... ·

2018/07/02

We all go through significant times of crisis in our lives. For some it’s in response to a major event, for others it can be a drawn out season of chronic challenges. On today’s podcast I want to share some perspectives on self-care while going through crisis. As a parent or a spouse, you might find yourself dealing with the fallout of traumatic events in your loved one’s life. Some of these things might be short seasons or events, the others might be chronic. But in either case, as you find

LPOP 75 Questions to Ask Before Dating

2018/06/24

I received a question about dating recently in an “Ask Anything” session with my teenagers at church. In this podcast, I review the set of questions I gave the group to ask themselves before getting into a relationship (which, by the way, should not be until late in their teenage years at the earliest). Whether you’re a teen or an adult, if you’re considering entering a dating relationship, you should be able to give thoughtful answers to these questions. For an in depth analysis of each question,

LPOP 74 Identifying and Avoiding Toxic Relationships

Let"s Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage,... ·

2018/06/17

In a recent “ask anything” segment with my teenagers, I was asked “how do I removed myself from toxic relationships without being the bad guy?” This excellent question assumes that we know a toxic relationship when we see one. Unfortunately, that’s not always true. We discovered principles from six verses in Proverbs 20 that gave us clues on the types of people to avoid: The Manipulator Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord. Proverbs 20:10 The manipulator

I’m revisiting my very first Let’s Parent on Purpose topic ever, and I need to remember this perspective just as much today. 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right

Your systems are perfectly suited to give you the life that you now have. Your children’s routines are perfectly suited to give you the current level of chaos or order that you’re currently experiencing. All of us have routines with our children. Some of those routines weren’t designed, they just happened. And most of the ones that just happen put the extra burden on mom and dad.
