Consecration is a blessing for you, your family, and generations to come. It's a beautiful gift you can give your family. In today's Show, Phil and Brook break down what consecration means and what it looks like to live a life consecrated to God. They get honest about how it is so easy not to live this way and how we can push against the current culture to move closer to holiness. Life is hard, and we all find things that help us cope or soothe our pain, but it leads us away from consecration and brings us more pain. Brook and Phil squash any elements of shame in this process and bring hope through small, practical ways when we choose little acts of obedience daily. A common theme of this episode circles around the truth that when you give up more of yourself and live a consecrated life, you receive more of God's spirit, which helps you continue to live a holy life and receive His blessings. This work of consecration is so important because what we don't deal with becomes a trap for our children. It is our responsibility to stop sin and release blessings to our children. May this be a part of your legacy in your family? Enjoy!Three things that make up the idea of consecration: 1)Cleansing2)Sacrificing3)Dedication 3 Reasons that hold us back from Consecration: 1)Compromise2)Carelessness3)CowardessFollow us on Instagram:@intentional_parents@brook_mosser@Emosser@philmcomer@dianewcomer FREE TEXT Message Daily Devotional 👇🏼 https://intentional.flocknote.com Grab a copy of our book: Raising Passionate Jesus Followers (Now available in audiobook!)https://amzn.to/3ReOgc4  Website: intentionalparents.org Join our Legacy Builders: https://www.intentionalparents.org/donate-index-impact Blog: https://www.intentionalparents./blog GET: The Intentional Film Serieshttps://www.intentionalparents.org/film-series The Intentional Motherhood Retreathttps://www.intentionalparents.org/motherhood-retreat

Mean girls are not just in the movies. Today, Diane and Elizabeth talk about bullies, in particular mean girls. Our culture tolerates a level of speech towards one another that we have never seen before, especially online. It's everywhere, from prominent leaders to our families and children. The culture our children are navigating through is tricky, and the method of killing them with kindness doesn't always work. Diane and Elizabeth share some wisdom about what to do if your daughter is facing a mean girl. What does it look like to follow Christ and also draw boundaries? How do we teach our daughters to hold space for empathy so they can see that there is a story behind each mean girl? And finally, how can we teach our daughters to forgive the mean girl or bully even if repairing the relationship isn't possible? We hope this conversation today will help you navigate the problematic relationships that your daughters will encounter at some point.

The whole crew is here today to answer more of your thoughtful questions. We cover topics like what to do when your kids test the boundaries with grandparents or other caregivers. We tease out some tricky elements like the parent's role and the grandparent's role in these situations. We also answer the question, how do we deal with catastrophic fears in parenting? We dive into the root of fears and turn to the Bible for wisdom about what God says about anxiety and our troubles. We differentiate concerns from true evil and learn how to listen and support a friend when fears arise. The last topic we cover today is homeschooling. We talk about the good and the complex parts of homeschooling, practical ways to homeschool multiple kids at once, and how setting your expectations can make or break your school year. We hope this episode brings hope and practical help to you and your family.
