Kingdom Mothers Rise Up

Ever had those moments when your emotions feel like they've taken control of you? We all have, and in today's episode of Kingdom Mothers Rise Up, we discuss how our emotional reactions are often automatic and involuntary, much like blinking our eyes when something comes towards our face. Fear not, for it's not the initial emotion that matters, but rather, how we choose to respond to it.

Join us as we explore the messages our emotions carry and how we can use them to make wise choices in our lives. I share my personal experiences during the launch of my third book, revealing the range of emotions I felt and how I was able to identify and address the messages behind them. Discover the importance of acknowledging and working through our feelings, and how partnering with certain emotions can either lead us toward hope and truth or take us away from them. Don't miss this enlightening conversation on understanding and managing our involuntary emotions!

Feeling overwhelmed and struggling to manage emotions during trauma recovery?

Join me for a behind-the-scenes look at a coaching session with the incredibly courageous Clerissa from South Africa.

Together, we explore various sources of frustration and discuss potential solutions to help Clerissa stay present with her boys while also respecting her own boundaries.

We dive into the importance of disciplining children from a place of partnership and training, rather than punishment. I also share insights on how journaling and engaging in a two-way conversation with God can help slow down racing thoughts and bring clarity to our minds.

What if you could find healing and purpose through the transformative power of faith in Jesus, even in the midst of confusion and uncertainty? That's exactly what our incredible guest, Juliana Barbotti, shares in her powerful story of moving from a cult-like environment and belief in reincarnation to finding salvation and a new relationship with God through Jesus.

Join us as we explore Juliana's search for healing through the world of New Age practices and how her search for truth led her to find true healing and purpose in Jesus. We'll unpack the importance of prayer, discernment, and staying rooted in God's truth in our lives as followers of Christ. Juliana's testimony serves as a reminder to be vigilant in discerning the sources and influences of the practices we engage in, and to trust in God above all else.

As we conclude our conversation, we'll discuss the dangers of blindly trusting what we can do on our own and the significance of relying on God's guidance and wisdom in all aspects of our lives. From recognizing the Father's voice and Holy Spirit's promptings to the role of prayer in navigating suffering, Juliana's story is an inspirational reminder that our faith and trust in God should always come first.

I find it interesting that so many women in the Bible are not named. Like the wise woman of Able.

Her story is told but not her name. I think it shows it's better to be remembered for your impact than for your name.

She spoke up and saved her city. She took a stand and had the respect of her community.

Learn from her and listen for how and where the Lord is asking you to rise up.

What do you do when things go wrong?

Do you have a meltdown?

No judgment, I've been there, too. Very recently, in fact.

The conversation with Brenda starts with how she responded differently and her journey to get there.

We discussed "little girl lies" (Brenda's term) and how they come about.

We talked about what we make things mean.

The new, the healing, only comes by walking it out because that is what rewires the brain.

In your relationship with the Lord are you like a toddler? Is it maturing?

There is another way to look at life

Let's go deeper. Let's go in another direction.

Mothering is important work. Possibly the most important work you will ever do.

The book of Nehemiah has some lessons for you about staying on task with the important work when there are distractions and challenges.

Assess your situation.
Be sure what you think is the problem is the problem.
Be ready to fight while you build.
Don't do your work alone.
Have people you can call on.

Creativity is powerful. It disarms us. It opens space to hear from the Lord.

Try to put your emotions on paper in different ways to see what you learn. Bring your children along on the journey.

Explore what they are feeling or what they want to feel. Sort out thoughts from feelings. Discern truth from lies. Heart Doodling with Jesus is a powerful tool you can use with your children to build their emotional intelligence. It is also a great tool when you are trying to connect with them in hard emotions.

You have been through some stormy seasons. In each one, you come out stronger.
There are many times you want to quit. You know that is not an option so you get up and try again.

In each season you look back and see the Lord's hand at work. You also see how much effort you are putting in for so little return.

Part of it is playing the long game. Small wins today reap big rewards in the future.

Part of it is not having the tools, skills, and support you need.

Thankfully the Lord wastes nothing when you are surrendered to Him. All your honest effort and failed attempts are put to use for His glory, revealing who He has always known you to be.

It's time to rise up!

How full is your emotional bucket? How about your child's?

The analogy of everyone having an invisible emotional bucket is helpful.
Very simply: Full bucket = happy person.
Empty bucket = not doing so good.

Understanding what encourages your child and what discourages them is a big part of connecting with them emotionally. What fills their bucket? What drains it?

Being able to answer these questions about your children and for yourself go a long way in building connection.

You are responsible for your own bucket. You are also responsible to your child to steward the access you have to their bucket well.

Listen for tips on managing everyone's buckets well.

Stop striving. Let God change you.

These probably well-intentioned words hurt and frustrated me so often through the years!

If I knew how to let God change me don't you think I would have already?!
If it was His job to change me and I wasn't changing clearly I was beyond help.

This podcast is not another "Let Go & Let God" message.

I'm finally learning to let God change me by learning to receive His love. Yes, I had to learn that too. 

He is for you. I am for you.

Let's Rise Up!

Have you ever had a thought and wondered, "Where did that thought come from?"

All the thoughts in your head aren't yours.

We are told in scripture to take every thought captive. 
The first step to doing that is separating your thoughts from your emotions. What are you feeling? What are you thinking?
Once you have identified the thoughts, take them captive and see where they came from so you know what to do with them. 
You can learn these skills and teach your children from a very young age.

Your enemy knows who you are and what you are capable of.

The enemy doesn't always look evil or appear dangerous. 

He will use pain and hard things to derail you from your purpose and render you ineffective.

He knows he is defeated and has no authority over us. We often don't know that. 

Let each attack make you stronger and reveal more of how God's resurrection power works through you.

The power of love wins. Every time.

A culture of communication involves vocabulary around emotions. It also is the attitude and behaviors demonstrated toward emotions. To connect with your child's emotions you need a vocabulary and culture where conversations can happen.
Emotion words are only part of the picture.

Do you take time to listen to why the emotion is there? Do you take time to understand your child's perspective?

Saying emotions are important and then acting like they are a bother will teach your child that emotions are a bother.

To connect with your child build a culture of communication, especially around emotions.

What is in the way of you being a warrior? Is it distractions? Lack of support? Lack of clarity? Good things keeping you too busy?

The fact that you are alive in this time in history tells me God made you to be a warrior. That may well look different for you than it does for me. We can fight differently, in different battles and all be warriors.

Being a warrior can be lonely. Sometimes, people closest to you, may not understand the risk and sacrifice you feel called to make. But a select few will get it, at least enough to stick with you. 

God understands. He designed you knowing the battles you would face. He knows the passions, strengths, and weaknesses He gave you. He knows how to use them all for your good.

A safe place for your emotions is vital to your health in every way. It is vital to your relationship with your child as well.

Emotions are precious. Even when we don't think so we treat them as special. We hide them from people who don't treat them kindly. So will your child.

Emotions are only comfortable in a safe space.

Learn what makes a safe space for your child's emotions and what doesn't.
