When You Have to Be the Man published by Outskirts Press, illustrates the extraordinary things that can be expected with God as the man of the house. Single mothers are overloaded and overwhelmed with more responsibilities than any one person can handle. Often, these women set aside personal dreams and give up hope of living an extraordinary life due to family obligations. Single mothers are great warriors, women who will sacrifice their lives for their children. Their lives can be difficult and complex. When You Have to Be the Man reveals the great strength and resilience women and mothers have together with God. When You Have to Be the Man, challenges the traditional pattern of “thinking like a mom” by examining how one single mother found countless triumphs in her home and with her children by allowing the Christ within her to have authority in her life – by allowing Got to become her man.

When you consider that the teen years are a period of intense growth, not only physically but morally and intellectually, it's understandable that it's a time of confusion and upheaval for many families. Most parents and teenagers wonder why they have trouble communicating. Every little bit of insight helps, especially when it comes from you the parent and you the teenager. I have shared with you what the teenagers have said from my book, 471/2 things to say to your teens and how to say them. Today I will share with you what the parents want the teenagers to know from my book, 47 ½ things Teens need to know about getting along with their parents. Despite some adults' negative perceptions about teens, they are often energetic, thoughtful, and idealistic, with a deep interest in what's fair and right. So, I hope this show will help to bridge that communication gap and help the teenagers understand where their parents are coming from.

Many teenagers are convinced that their parents have a running list of all the ways they can embarrass them in front of their friends, trick them into doing more chores or make their curfew earlier. One problem that teens have consistently complained about is parenting books are written by adults and not teens themselves. So I decided to write two books released last month June 2013 to give both the parents and teenagers a forum to bridge the gap between them. Today I will share with you what the Teens wish parents knew from my book 471/2 Things To say to Your Teen and How to say them and then Next time I will share with you what the parents wish their teens knew from my book 471/2 Things Teens Need to Know About Getting Along with Their Parents.

This is a stirring testimony of how faith and confidence in the promises of God are keys to overcoming any attacks designed to destroy the believer’s mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Our specialized journey begins and ends with God. Lucinda shares experiences in her journey to get to the other side of poverty, abuse, insecurity, fear and health challenges while revealing a resilient determination to succeed. There is not an age group that will not be touched by the experiences in this book. It will inspire and encourage readers of all ages to know that you can counter negative challenges with light for living found in the good news of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Jeremiah 29:11 in the Bible, there is a scripture we often use to refer to the concern God has for our individual lives: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Many people walk around in a haze, feeling vaguely unsatisfied with their lives and unsure what the answer is to feeling better. What Our guest has discovered is that most people aren’t lacking for joy in their lives, they just haven’t realized that it’s there, so they’re not taking the time to experience and appreciate what’s already available to them. If we can help teens to discover the pathway to joy, it’s something that will serve them for the rest of their lives; and if we can help their parents to discover the pathway, they can model the behavior for all of their children, regardless of age.

So! You have figured it out. You understand who you are, you know what you want and why. Most of all, you are willing to do what it takes to get there. That is a huge step; celebrate it. However, it is important for you to realize that your dreams will not come over night, But every step counts. It will all make sense. Unfortunately, just before you take your first step on the righteous journey to pursue your dreams, people around you, even the ones who deeply care for you, will give you awful advice. It’s not because they have evil intentions. It’s because they don’t understand the big picture—what your dreams, passions, and life goals mean to you. They don’t understand that, to you, the reward is worth the risk. So they try to protect you by shielding you from the possibility of failure, which, in effect, also shields you from the possibility of making your dreams a reality. Today together with my guest Mr Steve Muzite, we will discuss some tips to help you throughout the process

Everyone faces challenges. Our resilience is how we respond to those challenges, which is guided by our understanding of four Ss: self, situation, supports, & strategies. Unfortunately, our neurological reaction to challenge is often counterproductive to framing those four Ss in a way that is resilient. I would like to talk a bit about how the brain works and why we have that reaction, how to stop the reaction, and how to use the Four Ss framework to use challenges as opportunities to build resilience.

The program is divided into three modules that build upon another. In Module One we want our participants to first understand that they have culture; Learning that culture is not something they are born with but is something that is learned through imitation and teaching. In Module two, participants gain more personal insight as they learn what their value behaviors are on a value dimension continuum. We also learn about different cultural perspectives, verbal and nonverbal techniques practiced by different cultures. We stress that people must understand themselves first before we look at some cultural norms across other cultures. The last of our three modules deals with application of knowledge gained in modules one and two.
