Simply Living for Him

I truly think this is one of (maybe THE) most important podcasts I have ever recorded. I have been asked this question many times recently and wanted to answer it today. Some of it may surprise you. Let's sit down and talk about how we can keep our children on the right path. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/20/how-can-you-keep-your-children-on-the-right-path/

Our world is consumed with aesthetics and beauty. But what if God's plan for our lives includes some things that aren't so pretty? Life isn't ever picture-perfect, but the most beautiful life is the one that is lived shining the Light of Christ. Today I am catching you up on life around here and then we are digging into this very important topic! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/13/there-is-no-picture-perfect-life/

Literally, every single one of my homeschool clients has made the statement to me, "I feel like I'm not doing enough" or, "I'm failing my children." And even if you aren't a homeschool mom, I can imagine most of you have said these statements at some point about something in your life. Today, we are going to really dig into that statement and turn it on its head as we look at Who is enough: Jesus. We are NOT enough. We can not DO enough. But in Him, we do the things He has called us to and by His power alone. Apart from Him, we do not good things. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/29/not-doing-enough-me-either/

A few months back we started the Simply Go! initiative here at Simply Living for Him to encourage and equip everyday women in their everyday lives to be on mission for Jesus. The world is hurting and we have the answer. You don't have to travel far to find someone who needs Jesus. You can go right outside your door. Recently I was intrigued when a Facebook friend of mine started posting about her experiences with sharing Jesus every week right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is a homeschool mom with nine children but is stepping out in obedience to the Lord right where she is! I decided to ask her to be on the podcast and talk about her experience as it fits right in with the Simply Go! initiative! You are going to be inspired by this beautiful woman and her courage to be bold, right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is changing lives! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/22/finding-god-in-the-walmart-parking-lot-ep-214/

Today we are talking about living a life you don't need a vacation from. Yes, we all work hard, and the Bible tells us we are to work, but what on earth are you working for? Are you striving for earthly things or eternal things? Are you building the Kingdom of God or an earthly kingdom that will eventually fall? Join me today as we talk about simplifying, what we really need, and not working to accumulate stuff but to fulfill our God-given purposes. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/08/live-a-life-you-dont-need-a-vacation-from

Our world is filled with fear. But we have no reason to fear the unknown when we focus on what is known – and that is, our God is a mighty and powerful God. Listen in as I talk about my very real struggle with fears and how God has replaced them with His truths. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/01/fear-of-the-unknown-ep-212/

It's been quite a few weeks and today let's hang out and just chat! The Lord has taught me much and I hope it encourages you wherever you are at today, too! Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's chat! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/03/26/life-updates-and-what-god-is-teaching-me-ep-211/

Today I am sharing a bit of our journey and how God has led us to a path of homemaking, homeschooling, and self-employment. I have always lived with the idea that I wanted to make the most use of my time, and I wasn't working for a pension plan but for life now and for God. Come listen in, learn a bit about me, and see how some of these principles may apply in your own life, no matter what God has called you to do! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/03/11/a-path-of-our-own-homemaking-homeschooling-and-self-employment-ep-210/

I have a special guest on my podcast today! A listener contacted me to share her story of faith, homeschool, and the amazing work she is doing for the homeschooling community! Come listen and be encouraged by Stephanie Wiscott of Deeply Rooted Learning Center.http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/02/25/a-story-of-faith-ep-208/

Our days get very cluttered by so many things. Sometimes we need to take a deeper look to see what really matters in the grand scheme of things. Let's look at life today and make sure our priorities are where they need to be and how to prioritize each day.http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/02/12/get-your-priorities-straight-ep-207

Nothing complicates our lives more than getting stuck in worrying about what others think. We all have fallen into this trap at some point and today we are discussing how to truly live for the One who truly matters! There is no room for insecurity when you are secure in Christ! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/02/04/stop-worrying-what-others-think-ep206/(opens in a new tab)

In a world that is growing darker each day, it is more important than ever to raise our children to be a light. Today I am joined by Leslie Nunnery as we talk about what she and her family are doing with Teach Them Diligently for homeschooling families and beyond to raise this next generation of disciples. I have had the privilege to speak at Teach The Diligently for several years and I absolutely love their Gospel-centered approach. Right now they have so many ways to encourage you as a homeschooling family or a Christian family. Come on over and listen in and learn why it is so important to teach our children, diligently.

Today I am asking you a very important question to ponder: What would your life look like if social media didn't dictate how it should look or how you should think? Let's remember WHO is to influence us before anything else these days: God. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/01/21/the-age-of-influencers-who-is-influencing-you-these-days-ep-204/

In the age of this pandemic, it is difficult to be together as we are meant to be. Many of us find ourselves getting a bit comfortable in isolation. But I believe we must find ways to connect. Join me today as we talk about living in relationship, community, and together and not letting anything hinder us. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/01/15/we-are-not-meant-to-live-this-life-alone-ep-203/
