Chaos to Calm Time - Money - Relationships

The Science of Anxiety and How to Fight Against It

This podcast highlights differences between generations, focuses on the basics of the developing preteen brain, and gives practical tips on how to relationally connect with your kid during this life stage.

How do you know when your child is ready for a smartphone? Which apps are the most dangerous for my 13-year-old? How do I get to a place of trusting my kid with social media? How do I spot signs of trouble in my kid from their use of social media? These are questions parents ask every day - parents who are overwhelmed, fearful or ignorant about social media and technology. Parenting in a Tech World is a conversation with Student Minister, Andrew Wade and Kids Minister, Amber Hudler on where to start with addressing the use of technology in their homes and provides you with a plan of action for developing a relationship between you, your child and technology.

We all have questions… “I see my Special Needs acquaintances in my community, but I’m at a loss for how to help or how to act.” “How can I explain Special Needs to my children in a way that helps them understand, care, and serve?” Or even, “How do I acclimate my own family to a Special Needs environment?” In this session, we’ll explore both hard and basic questions with responses that are realistic, biblical, and actually helpful to individuals and families living with special needs, as well as giving particular emphasis on coming alongside them in fellowship and service, and how these go hand-in-hand.

What do you envision when you see your child as an adult? Who is your audience when you parent? When you need help parenting, where do you turn? Parenting requires great time and energy. Having a vision for your child’s future is inspiring! That vision is not about what job they will have or how much money they will make. Instead, it is the vision of what type of person your child will be as an adult. This vision will encourage you to invest in the long-term good of your child, even when you’re weary. Join us as we learn together about staying the course and doing the “harder right” to benefit your child’s future.

Jesus’ teaching in the book of Luke states we are to “go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame” Luke 14:21. Where are all of these people? Why do they not attend a church? Those with disabilities and intellectual challenges are individuals, not only deserving of the love and support offered by a Christian community, but because of their intrinsic value, are of equal value as active members in the Body of Christ. This session looks biblically at God’s command for ALL of his saints to serve in the body of Christ and how our churches can begin to foster special needs inclusion, community, and discipling.

Scripture is clear that parents are the primary disciplers for their kids, and as believers, we desperately want to do well at that calling. But once you have kids, you quickly realize how fast (and chaotic) the days can go. The goal of this breakout is to help calm your nerves when it comes to this topic and give practical steps you can take as you point your children toward Christ. We will cover topics like discipling your kids as you go, through special set aside times, and when hard times happen. Our prayer is that you will leave this breakout equipped and confident that, with Christ, you REALLY CAN do this!
