They have over 60 years of combined experience in teaching, public speaking, counseling, ministry, and coaching. After much prayer, Merrill and Linda made the decision to step down from their full time positions in the church and public school to focus on strengthening families. Both believe that healthy schools, churches, and communities depend on strong and healthy families. This weekly podcast is made possible through the generous financial support of community partners. With the help of local sponsors and the word spreading through listeners like you, Rock Solid Families is helping to build stronger communities one family at a time!

Sacrifice from a Mother's Perspective Ep. 347
2w ago00:44:36Tap to summarizeIn this Rock Solid Families episode, Kimm Hackworth joins Jenna Helton to talk about sacrifice but from a mother's perspective. Kimm's perspective of sacrifice comes from a mom who has adult children who are out of the home and about to get married. Jenna is at a completely different season of life where her children are still very young, so sacrifice for Jenna might be completely different than Kimm. Listen to this podcast to gain valuable insight about sacrifice for mom's and how we can surrender no matter what season of life you are in.

Transcribe →Renewal with Christ - Ep. 338
Jan 1900:42:20Tap to summarizeRenewal with Christ - Ep. 338Linda Hutchinson and co-host Kimm Hackworth discuss spiritual renewal as the new year begins.The Theme of RenewalLinda and Kimm aim to guide listeners in enhancing their relationships with God and setting an intentional rhythm for their spiritual lives. They emphasize that spiritual renewal can take various forms, often requiring intentionality and the need to create space away from the distractions of everyday life. The discussion begins by referencing Romans 12:2, warning against conforming to the world’s patterns and instead focusing on transformation through the renewing of the mind.Spiritual DisciplinesThe hosts dive into spiritual disciplines, a concept introduced by Richard Foster, which includes practices meant to foster a deeper relationship with God. They clarify that these disciplines are not burdensome tasks but are meant to cultivate intimacy with God. They discuss various inward disciplines such as:1. Study and Meditation - Engaging with the Word of God for revelation, not mere knowledge.2. Prayer - Cultivating an interactive relationship with God.3. Fasting - Withholding from certain things to reveal dependencies and deepen reliance on God.Kimm shares her preference for inward disciplines and how those help in personal reflection, while Linda emphasizes the importance of balance between inward and outward disciplines.Outward and Corporate DisciplinesThe conversation then shifts to outward disciplines, which are about changing behavior to align with spiritual truths. Some key practices mentioned include:•Simplicity - Reducing material possessions to focus on spiritual values.•Silence and Solitude - Taking time to be alone with God.•Sabbath Rest - Intentionally resting and trusting in God’s provision.•Service - Helping others as a form of worship and humility.They also discuss corporate disciplines that involve community, such as worship, confession, and accountability, emphasizing the importance of being connected with others in faith.Family Dynamics and LegacyLinda and Kimm reflect on how spiritual practices at home influence children. They recount personal stories from their own families, illustrating how their children observed and internalized these spiritual rhythms. They stress the importance of modeling faith and creating intentional spaces for spiritual growth within families, reminding listeners that children are always watching and learning from their parents’ actions.Final EncouragementLinda encourages listeners to choose one spiritual discipline to focus on for the next 30 days, urging them to reflect on what they can remove or add to their lives to experience renewal. They conclude by thanking their sponsors again and reinforcing the mission of RockSolid Families to help strengthen families in the community.ConclusionThe podcast delivers a thoughtful discussion on spiritual renewal, emphasizing intentionality, the significance of community, and leaving a legacy of faith for future generations. It invites listeners to embark on their journey of spiritual growth as the new year begins.rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity
