Honesty and Faith: The Importance of Truth-Telling with Children about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus

Getting into network marketing can be a great way to earn extra income and build a fulfilling career. However, many people struggle to succeed in this industry, which can be filled with fraudulent companies and pushy sales tactics.

As more people tried online selling because of the pandemic, network marketing became more popular. Many people who started during this time weren't ready for success or couldn't take on leadership roles. As a result, there are a lot of misconceptions about Network Marketing. Network marketing is often associated with tacky marketing tactics and duplicity. In order to avoid accusations of pyramid schemes, we need to establish our brand, target the right audience, establish authority, and provide valuable content.

It takes faith, integrity, and genuine relationships to build a successful network marketing business. Put your focus on adding value, sharing your products' benefits, and establishing your brand and authority. This will position you for long-term success.

"If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant."

By surrendering to Christ, we can overcome people-pleasing and reach our full potential. There was a time when I found myself constantly trying to get approval from others - friends, family, even strangers. To put it simply, it was exhausting. I finally found true freedom when I surrendered my life to Christ. And let me tell you, it wasn't easy. In order to surrender my life to Christ, I had to let go of my ego and trust in God's sovereignty.

In other words, it meant focusing on pleasing God rather than pleasing people. There was only one master to serve. It is written in the Bible that a person cannot serve two masters, so pleasing others takes priority over God's sovereignty.

Paul's transformation in Galatians from a Christian persecutor to a dedicated follower of Christ was enabled by the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit. It's not just about Paul's story - it's about ours as well. Where can we find our identity solely in Christ? Rather than seeking validation from others, we find our self-worth in Him.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we discover what it means to surrender our lives to Christ through Paul's story. Stop letting people-pleasing hold us back and step into our full potential in Christ.

It can be difficult to live in a state where your morals and values do not align with the policies in place. The result may be frustration, exhaustion, and exhaustion. Here are some ways to cope with it. Living in a state where I disagree with politics, I have found ways to pray for change and maintain my inner peace.

I prefer to "bless and release" people who have differing opinions and move on. This ensures that they do not waste their time on meaningless arguments that can never be resolved. In a society where people live in such division, this is an excellent approach to staying sane and maintaining peace of mind. Both conservatives and liberals should adopt a kingdom perspective and emphasize the importance of souls coming to Christ and receiving eternal life.

It is our responsibility as Christians to fulfill the great commission regardless of policies or events in our nation or city. I encourage you to pray for your nation or city and plead for Jesus' blood. Despite current events, I want you to know that God is sovereign. It's up to you to seek God's will when he wants you to be His mouthpiece in a battle. Logic and critical thinking are important. In my opinion, society teaches us what to think, not how to think. Being told what to think is different from being taught how to think.

It can be challenging to live in a state where morals don't align with policies, but it isn't impossible. It is possible to maintain sanity and peace of mind in such circumstances by adopting a kingdom perspective, focusing on the great commission, and praying. When it comes to politics and hard conversations, let's encourage critical and logical thinking.

It's often said that the Proverbs 31 Woman is the ideal woman. She's known for her virtues, abilities, and dedication to her family. Is there anything modern women can learn from her? During this episode, I talk about the Proverbs 31 Woman as a modern example of a strong, dynamic woman. She's a change from when women were just property to be bought and sold.

She rises early to prepare breakfast for her household while planning the day's work for her servants. However, the Proverbs 31 Woman isn't doing everything alone. She has maidservants to help her. As a result, women can focus on their unique gifts and talents, instead of feeling guilty for asking for help. Effective leadership requires delegation.

Proverbs 31 Woman teaches us to be virtuous, capable, and dedicated to our family and community. She shows us how to use our gifts for good.

The mission of my ministry is to promote a Christian worldview that recognizes redemption, restoration, and victory in Christ. Let me share my own experience with the education system, including my struggle with dyslexia. This gives you some background on why I'm not sending my kids to public school. Schools push an agenda that contradicts Christ. Ask yourself some vital questions about government involvement in education and social justice movements.

I wanted to share my family's journey with education, even though I don't think we should have to justify our choices. If you're thinking about homeschooling, trust your gut. You can make homeschooling work with grants, scholarships, and community support. Whatever you choose, you should make your own decisions based on what's best for your family.

I think a private Christian school is the best fit for my family right now. Learning in such an environment equips children to fight the enemy and a worldview from a young age. I want you to think about your values and what you want your kids to embrace, and acknowledge how early childhood experiences shape us.

It might be controversial for some parents, but guiding your children toward a solid spiritual foundation is essential. Today I'm sharing my experiences telling my kids that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny aren't real. As a result, it created a positive impact on my family. It's not an easy conversation to have for most parents, especially when your children are used to the gifts that come from a mythical figure. But stripping away the lies has deepened my children's faith in God and allowed us as a family to prioritize our faith over cultural norms.

It might seem like a radical episode to you, so my advice is to wait if you haven't felt compelled to tell them and pray about it. This is not a judgment. It's just my story. But if you have a conviction to tell your children or you are feeling like you're back and forth, friend, it might just be time to rip the bandaid off and stop serving the world.

So let's dive into the importance of truth-telling and prioritizing our children's faith in today's world.

There's been a question about why I haven't shared my viewpoint on recent tragedies that have hit our country, and today I'll answer that. Remember, It's okay to take time to process and collect thoughts before commenting. Today, I'm going to use a biblical perspective to explain what led to the Nashville shooting. It's probably the result of a morally decaying culture and an identity crisis. God is sovereign above politics and politicians. The mainstream media conditioned people to be "triggered" by each other. Be in God's word and pray for protection from demonic forces.

Overcoming Fear and Idolatry in Politics

I want to share the Biblical point of view on my political affiliation and how some policies don't align with God's word. Although we might not all agree on political affiliations or policies, we are all morally obligated to find solutions that bring people together, rather than divide them. To achieve a brighter future, we must stop arguing across political lines and begin communicating.

Please join me in praying for protection and unity across our communities and nations. Come together and let's build a better world for future generations.

Having trouble empowering your children with Christ-centered identity and wisdom? It's natural to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and uncertain! I thought I knew what to expect when I became a mother, but I had no idea that by seeking a relationship with God, I would discover a transformative power that would guide my children toward a life of grace and love.

Pointing children to Jesus

Motherhood with a biblical perspective requires guiding children toward Jesus and helping them develop reverence for Him. Mothers can model a Christ-centered life for their children, teaching them to seek spiritual growth and allow God's conviction to transform their hearts. Children who are raised in this way are not only encouraged to develop a strong faith journey but also encouraged to become spiritually discerning and resilient.

Throughout my motherhood journey, I continually point my children to Jesus by interceding for them and guiding them in biblical principles. The importance of nurturing their spiritual appetites and acknowledging God's role in their lives cannot be overstated. My goal is to foster an environment where my children can grow in their understanding and reverence of God by actively engaging in their faith journeys.

Raising God-Centered Kids: Transforming Hearts, Not Just Behavior

Our job as parents is to always relay the truth to our children: you have a heavenly Father, this is the gospel, this is what is true. - Jessie

"Hear God's voice in the chaos of motherhood and be comforted by His presence."

My experiences as a mother of four taught me about Faith in God, motherhood, and listening to God's Voice. I became pregnant with my first child in 2013. As a result, I was motivated to become better for them and I created a Family Mission for us to leave people in a better place than when we found them. As I raised each child, I added value to our mission.

I faced postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage while juggling motherhood and my business. Eventually, I hit a brick wall, and it was then that God spoke to me, telling me to surrender my children to him and to learn how to recognize his voice. As a result, I was able to find peace.

"Let go of the need to prove yourself and surrender to God's presence in the chaos of motherhood; He is the best comfort and He will carry you through."
