LPOP 64 How to Help High Drama Kids

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

2018/04/09

Some kids are miraculous makers of mountains out of molehills. It can be incredibly frustrating as a parent. In my podcast this week I share how to create some emotional resiliency using a tool called a Drama-meter. I learned about the Drama Meter from a book I highly recommend by Sissy Goff, David Thomas, and Melissa Trevathan called Are My Kids on Track. You should definitely pick up a copy. Listen to the podcast and let me know how the Drama Meter works for your family! And if you like the

LPOP 63 An Easter Devotional For Parents

29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 ESV As a dad who has never seen, but still believes, here’s how I feel blessed and hopeful as a parent: Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection is the validation of everything Jesus said and did: It means that His teachings aren’t just sound advice, they are commands with a supernatural power behind them. It means that wen

This might be more confessional than instructional, but here are my thoughts as the parent of two different special needs kids. I was asked to do a podcast giving advice to parents of special needs kids, that went something beyond “cut yourself some slack”. After spending 20 minutes talking about my own experiences, maybe I can can offer double the wisdom: You are not alone. Cut yourself some slack. If you’re a special needs parent, or friends with someone who is, I pray this podcast offers some

LPOP 61 Talking to your children about sex

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

2018/03/18

This guest post is from my friend Willow Sander of Protect the Heart Ministries, in conjunction with our podcast discussion on “Talking to your children about sex”. “Hey, it’s time to talk!” Funny how that phrase does not startle us as parents as much as this one: However, eventually the time will come. Unfortunately, in our fast-paced culture the need for that “talk” will come sooner than most of us would like. We do not have to dread it though. Honestly most of us probably have dreaded that

Thank you Willow Sanders of Protect the Heart Ministries for joining me for a fantastic discussion of safeguards and protections we parents can instill for our children. Below is an incredibly helpful guest post by Willow that goes along with our discussion. Eyes, Ears, Hearts and Souls I don’t know, in my head the preschool song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” came to mind as I searched for how to slap a title on this. And realistically THOSE are just the areas we are charged with so cautiously

LPOP 59 Honor and Exasperation: A devotional for parents

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

2018/03/05

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4 This is one of the most basic, foundational passage in the Bible for parent/child relationships. But basic doesn’t mean simple. Check out this week’s

Everyone wants your 100% best. But it’s impossible for everyone to get your 100% best. During a time in my life when my family was suffering because of my inability to set appropriate boundaries in work, a wise friend recommended this book to me: When Work and Family Collide (by Andy Stanley) made an incredibly complex subject very clear to me. I want to give my best to everyone, but the truth is that I’m replaceable in nearly every context. But not in my home. In the grand scheme, only one

LPOP 57 Great Sexpectations

2018/02/19

I have a question for those who think that sex is primarily a physical act: why have you never heard of someone going to a counselor for years after smashing their thumb with a hammer? I’ve done that before. I’ve also smashed a finger in a barn door, and it was one of the most intensely painful experiences of my life. But aside from having a silly story to tell and being extra carful around the hinges of doors, I’ve really never looked back. One single, violating sexual act, however, can create

LPOP 56 Identity - Different By Design

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

2018/02/11

If I can think of one word to describe the culture we live in, it’s “Confused”. Gender identity might be the battle that gets the biggest headlines, but it’s not like the vast majority of males and females are killing it. I believe that a paper understanding of our identity is key to stability, resiliency, purpose, and meaning. A misunderstanding of identity leads to confusion, anxiety, and… basically the United States in 2017. On this week’s podcast I share a model for understanding our identity

LPOP 55 Teaching your kids to think different

I want to share with you two simple object lessons you can use with your kids encourage them to think different. And yes, I know it’s “think differently”. But Apple made a bazillion dollars off of it’s “think different” ad campaign, so I’m sticking with it. Anyway, we know that we live in a culture that is continually pressuring kids to conform to patterns of destruction, all in the name of “not conforming.” Here’s a simple little illustration i did with the teens in our church, using two well know

2018/01/29

In case you haven’t notices, your children typically have multiple character issues that need addressing. Also, in case you haven’t noticed, they usually don’t appreciate when you address those issues. They especially don’t like when you bring up multiple issues all at once. In that way, they’re like the rest of us humans. But unlike the rest of humanity, children often have no sense of urgency in developing character habits, responsibility or personal industry. Inside the safety of the home,

Have you ever longed to be in a great discipleship relationship, where you get to mentor someone and watch them grow into a fully devoted follower of Jesus? Are you in one of those relationships now? If you don’t think you are, let me encourage you to go back home and take a peak in your extra bedrooms at the little people who eat all of your food. You’ve got your disciples. Now, how are you going to disciple them? Jesus modeled a very clear, understandable way to make and train disciples. It

I had a recent conversation with one of my good friends and partners in local youth ministry, Crisman Koechig. It was fun for me and I think it will be helpful for you to listen. We hit these important topics, and you should really listen in! What are the commonalities you see in families who’s children actually spiritually thrive? What kind of families are most challenging for kids to thrive spiritually? Should you force your kid to come to church or youth/kids ministry? What level of

2018/01/08

We are one week into 2018. Have you radically changed your life yet? Me neither. I’ve mostly been trying to convince my body that I’m not still in India. I love mornings. But I don’t love 2AM. Many people love New Year’s Resolutions, and others just as passionately hate them. I mostly stay away from the “resolution” word because it feels like as soon as theirs failure, there’s despair and giving up. Anything really worth “resolving” at the front of the year should be worth sticking with as

Helplessness. Hopelessness. Darkness. Lethargy. Racing thoughts. Why am I feeling this way?
