Our calendars can often be the boss of us when it should probably be the other way around, so we created a few prompts to help you take back over your schedule by prioritizing the people and tasks that often get pushed to the back burner.
Prayer is vital to a believers life, God makes that very clear in scripture. We are encouraged to pray at all times, for all things, without ceasing. Although there are no hard and fast rules to prayer we wanted to make a few suggestions for parents from parents. What we know is, if you want kids with vibrant prayer lives, it will help for you to model one. We encourage you to include your kids of all ages in prayer. Here are our suggestions. Toddler Age: It's not typically hard to get your toddler to talk at bedtime but helping them understand that their words are for the Creator of the universe takes a little more intention. Before you ask them to pray, remind them who God is with a simple statement like... we're going to talk to God now, did you know He made you? Isn't that cool? Elementary Age: This is usually the age where fear shows up a little louder so it might be more you praying over them and that's okay. Try to be consistent though, they may not ask for it but they will expect it. Elementary age kids forget [...]
Feeling overwhelmed by the to-do list? Maybe the giant pile of laundry? Or the way you just can't seem to keep up? How you can't be everywhere you need to be at once? We've been there. Honestly, we are there. This world can feel suffocating at times, like a never-ending challenge, but we serve a God who not only takes away those feelings but is our Peace in the middle of life's storms. whether you woke up feeling anxious, you're in the middle of your too-long task list, or you're lying in bed wondering how in the world you can get it all done, we want to encourage you to stop. Put everything else aside and take the next 5 minutes to pray this prayer, the prayer for the overwhelmed: "God, it's too much for me.

You are in full control. You see it all. You allow it all. All because You're working for Your glory and our good. Your [...]

This week Somer and Michelle jump into scripture to answer one of the most asked questions from our swHw community, "How do I find God's will for my life?" Passage: John 6:28-40 Some of our favorite moments from today's episode: “Belief is an action. Belief is a motivator. Belief is active, it's not still.” -MICHELLE MYERS “The foundation of my faith is the Gospel... Jesus was real.” -SOMER PHOEBUS “If it's not belief that is talking, that is leading, and that is guiding then I can't expect the action and activity that comes out of my life to mirror the work of God because it has to start with a deeply rooted, deeply planted belief.” -MICHELLE MYERS ""Coming to Jesus", it's active and continuous... it shows full dependence." -MICHELLE MYERS “Partial dependence will only ever bring partial satisfaction.” -SOMER PHOEBUS “Our everyday movements, actions, community, jobs, hobbies, all of that, will contribute to the over arching will of God." -SOMER PHOEBUS “Instead of looking [...]
