Hello Friends! Last week I did not post a podcast, because I was traveling across several states with my children. Today we are jumping back into our series from Colossians chapter two and finishing the series up with a discussion about thankfulness. You can listen to the “Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast” below or subscribe over at iTunes.

The Scripture commands us to give thanks and to be a grateful people. Sadly in our culture today, we have to be intentionally swimming upstream to live a lifestyle of gratitude. Our culture is often one of whining and complaining about every little inconvenience instead of resting in the Sovereignty of our God Who knows what is best for His people.

I hope that this episode encourages us all to dwell on the goodness of the Lord and on helping our families cultivate grateful hearts. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but we do not want to merely think about our blessings on one day of the year. Instead may the Lord help us to grow in an ongoing lifestyle of gratitude for Jesus and His great salvation along with all the other blessings He bestows upon us. What are you grateful for today? I would love to hear from you!

It is my prayer that this podcast is an encouragement to you, and I love to hear feedback from listeners. You can connect with me through this website, facebook, and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/legacyhomeschoolreflections/

Welcome back to the Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast! Today we are continuing in our study of Colossians 2:6-7 and focusing on being rooted and built up in Christ.

On this episode we discuss a few ways that we can be built up in our faith. We touch on the importance of good church fellowship, godly friendships, mentorship, and growing through the trials and storms of life.

Thank you for tuning into the podcast and may the Lord help us to sink our roots deeper into abiding fellowship with Him in the week ahead.  

Hello Friends, this last week my husband and I celebrated our twentieth anniversary. We were blessed to be able to take a very special trip to Prince Edward Island where we toured the Lucy Maud Montgomery/Anne of Green Gables history. After a challenging year of moving and sending our oldest daughter off to college it was so nice to get away to a quiet, serene place and enjoy a slower pace.

My husband and I have many goals in our lives, but our greatest desire is that our family will walk with the Lord and further His kingdom and His righteousness. On this week’s episode of the podcast we are looking again at Colossians 2:6-7 and focusing on practical ways of leading our families to walk with Jesus.

I love to hear from my listeners, and I would love to hear ways the Lord is leading your family to follow after Him and serve His kingdom purposes.

Thank you for tuning into the podcast today and may the Lord strengthen us all to walk closely with Him in the week ahead!

Do you ever grow weary of your children whining, complaining, fighting, tattling, etc? On today’s episode of the Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast I’m talking with Ginger Hubbard, author of the book “I Can’t Believe You Just Said That.” I greatly appreciate the way Ginger shares practical wisdom from God’s Word on how to get to the heart of the sinful behaviors we see in our children. It isn’t enough to just correct the outward behaviors in our children; we need to probe deeper and deal with the heart issues that are manifesting the sinful behaviors.

I think you are going to be so encouraged by the truths Ginger shares straight from the Word of God! There really is a manual that comes with parenting; it is the Word of God, and Ginger offers life-giving encouragement for weary and discouraged parents.

For all things Ginger Hubbard I encourage you towards her website http://ginger hubbard.org

Fear not, for I am with you;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10

Hello Friends! Have you ever been plagued with fears in your homeschool journey? I know so many homeschooling mamas enter the world of homeschooling with the fear that somehow they are going to mess their children up, not be enough for their children, or a host of other concerns.

Ladies, I hope you have a great week! Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast with your friends. May the Lord bless each of you as you serve Him this week!

Hello Friends! Sometimes life is just plain hard, and sometimes our hearts can feel faint from the things we see happening around us. So often when I go online I see one disturbing news story after another. Social media has put so much more before our eyes, and day after day we see stories of people who are sick, straying from the faith, dying, and experiencing much pain. Jesus told us that we would face trouble in this world, but He also told us to be of good cheer because He has overcome the world.

On today’s episode of the Legacy Homeschool Refections Podcast I discuss standing strong when struggles surround us. We can be encouraged that even though we will face sadness, defeat, suffering and death in this life we know that we can be more than conquerors through Him Who loved us. I want to encourage you today that:

He Who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it. I Thessalonians 5:24

It is always a joy to have you listen; if you have a moment to leave a review or star rating on iTunes that would be a great encouragement to me. May the Lord bless you and strengthen your hearts for every good work!

Hello Friends! This week I have been thinking about the precious gift the Word of God is to us as ladies, mothers, and homeschool moms. God’s Word is living, powerful, able to penetrate hard hearts, able to extend hope, and able to give us direction when we are at a loss for what to do.

On today’s episode of the Legacy Homeschool Reflections podcast I am talking about the power of the Word of God. You can listen to it here

One way that I am spending time in the Word with my children is through our morning circle time. Beyond that I am trying to have intentional conversations with them throughout the day where we discuss verses that apply to life situations. My husband also reads the Word to the family when he gets home at night. These are ways we are endeavoring to have a culture of constantly bringing our children back to the Scriptures. I would love to hear your ideas for how you are letting the Word dwell richly in your family.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

On this episode of the podcast

I am sharing about the importance of keeping Christ at the very center of all of our living and learning. Matthew 6:33 is one of my favorite verses, because it encourages me to keep Jesus as the central focus in our homeschool days.

I would love to hear how you are seeking the Lord first in you family, in your homeschool, and in your personal life. You can connect with me on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/legacyhomeschoolreflections/
