Amazing podcast! And they are right down road from us!

2016 That was a tough year for my son and I! losing my husband and his daddy then two months later the flood! I remembered we flagged a boat that came right up to our front porch. The guy was so nice to help us board with a few things and our boxer. Thanks for sharing and for helping others, especially in the aftermath of Helene Y’all are a blessing!!

The End is Near , listen To an American Writer in her Audio book The Great Controversy chapter 36 Liberty of Concience Threaten .

You’ve said very little to us about the flooding & refused help from us but I understand better now. That was a horrible experience for you but you both did grow from it. We all did.

God bless you and your churces people . Community volunteers to gather aid for the families...❤❤❤

Hi kids, You’re looking good. Like your blouse Stacy. I don’t know if I caught all your program. You are talking about helping people in their time of need. Talked about how good your Church is to help others like the flood a few years ago. You’ve also been good to us in our times of need.😊

As soon as the state gets involved in it, its not just a covenant anymore. It becomes a covenant with a CONTRACT.

So why don’t we simply shake hands for a marriage? It would make things much easier! 😅

This shit just makes me depressed knowing how little women find me attractive

I think it can be both ways. Lack of effective communication is the root of most problems. Life is hard and it can get lonely unless you can be open and vulnerable with each other. Quitting is not an option. The only way out is through. Hope everyone finds peace, with themselves, with the world.

So true so true. 💐

Stand firm and know that I am God. 🙏

Such a smart & good dad.😊

😂 y’all are funny! Appreciate the podcast 😊. I would love to hear, in a future podcast how to address spouse abuse, addictions, toxicity, codependency, gas lighting, which often leaves a popular narrative that the “other” spouse must now change, according to the toxicity (if they just do more this or that, if they just lose the weight, if they just…hoping, praying things will change). Many woman/men, feel like they can’t speak up when things turn toxic due to “gas lighting” instead of taking ownership of actions. I know this is not often a popular conversation in churches or among believers (for some odd reason) but considering how this world is, I do believe it’s a great one to address. Many marriages stay in a continued environment of toxicity because, After all, no one can change ANYONE unless that someone is willing to recognize change is needed in their own heart/actions. Addressing how to set boundaries when it turns toxic, and what to do when one refuses to seek accountability and help are viable tools (especially when children are caught in the crossfire of the toxicity 😢) Guilt, shaming, gossip, condemnation play huge roles (more among believers) in a spouse that DO the responsible thing and leave knowing they couldn’t change the environment no matter what they did. Since we, the church are in essence, a hospital for the Lost, addressing this on deeper levels CAN bring greater awareness, healing, and help in the narratives of expectations. God never called anyone to meet expectations of another human being. Meeting the expectations of others and being loving are two entirely different things. We are never, anywhere in all scripture, told to meet the expectations of others. To live freely as humans, we have to release ourselves and each other from expectations as they are often prison bars God never intended for us. 😊 I learned this the hard way but I LEARNED it and it’s freeing. You two are a blessing! Thank you for BEING the hands/feet of Jesus in all you do! 🙌🙏 Sonja

Ye, it literally does. It makes you a target.

Never thought I’d hear Stacy Say you might not feel “frisky” after eating!😮😂

Excellent

Great podcast and hearing the genuine authenticity in your sons and how they shared openly! Y’all are funny 😂 we have that in our family as well which makes it fun. Love y’all and appreciate you both!

He’s dead now but dates were always going to sporting events to which we got free tickets to so dinner was the date, and hurry because the game starts and we need to park, this always included being ignored behind a newspaper and no talking during the game whilst I sat there overwhelmed by the noise and watching other men in the stands treat their SO like their best friend and laugh and hug and talk to them. We would occasionally go out for breakfast which would mean being ignored behind the newspaper time for me. Always after the date I had to get the babysitter home because he couldn’t do that, then come back and get the kids to bed. I got nothing, but then because I got to go out so he needs sex now! Oooh exciting NOT! I was told that I should be thankful I got to go to those sporting events or to one of his business meetings for a weekend! I should be thankful for crumbs! I wasted my life on him.

Look at God...

God bless you sir

My friend never disciplined her son. That boy was screaming at people and cussing at them, including her. He got kicked out of school in the seventh grade and ended up in jail shortly afterward for assault with a deadly weapon. When he got out he ended up in again in less than a week after release for another assault with a deadly weapon. He attacked a guard i side which added to his sentence. He's still in jail thankfully. He doesn't need to ever get out.

And then you've got those parents who beat you everyday just because you said something and they don't ever get any respect neither just the rest of life

I have 4 boys. From 12 to 24 months, i would tell them no no and would tap them on the bottom or hands. From the age of 2 to around 10 years old I spanked them for not obeying me. Not for mistakes or accidents but for not obeying. We reviewed why and then they got 3 swats that were fairly hard according to their age. They had to sit for 1 minute for each year of age. I then asked them why they were disciplined which allowed them to clarify the why. Then we hugged for a long time where I told them how much I loved them and explained why I had to discipline them. After 10 years old, they were disciplined by grounding, removing of electronics and make to stay in their rooms for certain amounts of time with no entertainment. All of my boys are grown and all have told me thank you and that they are going to do the same with their children.

Saw it as a teacher. Had one child coming in at 9:00 every day. Dad was buying the childs affection, gave him ten bucks every night. And the kid was at the candy store/arcade games every morning.....and the establishment blamed me. Typical Leftist School Leadership.

That's how you get a TRAITOR TRUMP

This is what happened with my sister. My parents went hard on me but gave in always to my sister as she suffered from asthma and eczema. I swear as a woman she has no conscience. Lies pathologically. Never apologises, no accountability. Conpetes with me on everything.

I have never understood why people brag how truly spoiled their kid is. All future coworkers and employers aren’t laughing. You can ruin their life. Spoil with love but discipline pls!

Why would you try too discipline a 17 year old? Just mark his 18th birthday on the calendar and give him the boot!! 🥾🍑

You shouldn’t push your kid down a certain path, you need to let them make their own destiny. It’s fine to correct them but if it is causing them to have a negative reaction, then you should be looking at how you’re correcting them. Remember that children are sensitive beings and if you push your kid down a path you’re not letting them make their own path whether it’s negative or positive. Though many parents find themselves not liking the path, their child took, especially when they followed their heart. It’s hard for older generations to realize that their kids have their own mind, body, spirit and journey.

Great podcast! My son Jonah did not like cutting our 3 acres, mainly because I had a steering wheel lawn mower 😂 being widowed at that time I wasn’t sure about the zero turns! Now he and my stepson are working together in a lawn business and he absolutely loves it, especially the landscaping part! They are buddies and living together. All the prayers do help! 😊

Great episode! Family times are important 😊

This was a great one! I love this one.

Such good points. You're right on all of them. I just ended my marriage because none of this was getting done and my spouse was his way or the highway.

This is super sad.....😮😮

Fantastic episode!

There’s only One Way out of my marriage. I love my husband and I don’t regret anything over the 25 years we’ve been married. We got married 3 months after our first date and I love being married. The intimacy between a man and woman can be the glue that holds you together sometimes so don’t stop sharing your thoughts and feelings. Uplift each other and you will always feel like you are indeed ONE.🙏🏼❤️

Boredom and one last kick at the can.

Why? Is their a correlation to the economy, social unrest?

This is because getting a divorce is a trend now

A M E N --God has to be the center of every marriage!!!

Good stuff!

Woman aren't more valuable than men. Teaching young males this chivalrous bullshit needs to stop!

It sounded like she was talking to a child. “Where on earth did you get the money to buy that dirt bike?”

Live this!

You’re making my ❤ so lonely talking about kids at home. That was my happiest years with you kids. Of course, I regard you As good friends now as well as my children.. I learn from you these days. Love & respect you & Stacy❤

Great podcast!! Always enjoy watching you two teach and interact together, serving up some Godly wisdom and advice for all of us! 😊

Just realized I didn't finish this podcast. "IMAGE BEARERS" I love that thought. Yall keep saying 'season', and that's something the Lord has been teaching me about being a mom. Especially with the devastation of last (2023) January 31st and February 2nd. ❤ But God is faithfully restoring our family! What I learned the most throughout that terrible experience, was that in a sense I had forgotten that this is just a season (a season of motherhood before they move out, once they're grown) and not my entire identity. Over this past year I grew so much closer to the Lord in a brand new way, as I had to fully trust him and know that they're His children and He loves them more than I ever could. The twins will be 16 on January 23rd (hard to believe) but as everyone knows teenage years are often complex and tricky to navigate through, especially in this day and age, so it's very important to remember that they are indeed IMAGE BEARERS of our LORD. So thank you for that. 😊 Blessings to each of you! We appreciate all that yall do for our LORD and for our church! We love yall!

What an amazing compliment! We love yall so much. What an amazing testimony of loving like Jesus! When is the Belize dedication? Will there ever be a mission trip to the care point for church members to serve?

Such an amazing subject. Thank you both for always following the Lord and being an example of the Lord's love for us.
