162: Interview With Mother of 11 Children, Jenise Johnson

[@olumbafamilyfaith9396]

i’ve been binging on your channel. we are a homeschooling family of 9 and amongst my friends and family, we are an anomaly. it is so refreshing to find your channel and the big ski. we recently moved from detroit to west africa (Togo) because we find that america is a very difficult place to raise wholesome God fearing children. we live near a beautiful peaceful village in the mountains where we farm and live a simple and blessed life.

Your mom is the epitome of a Godly wife, mother and woman. I really love watching these videos it’s such an encouragement. I’m not a mother at the moment but I feel as if it’s preparing me before I become one. And it definitely helps me to be a better wife and just draw closer to the Lord. Thank you both so much!

[@ShyquannaGordon]

You mom showed me I’m doing an awesome job!! Because I was feeling like .. I was doing everything wrong . Literally everything she spoke about … we do home …

[@jessicabrown6943]

Thank you so much for this. We have 8 kids. My oldest just turned 13 and she’s very shy, her little siblings were recently in a Christmas play and we encouraged her to be in it but she didn’t want to. So we told her that was ok, but we encouraged her to find a way to serve the Lord where she didn’t have to be in front of a crowd. After watching this about the blessing of God choosing her to be the oldest sibling, I let her watch that clip and then told her that this was one way she could serve the Lord, by simply being a good example in front of her siblings and loving them like Jesus loves us. I told her God chose her for this place in our family and it was so special. She was beaming with joy when we got done with our talk. I don’t think she will ever forget that, I know I won’t. Thank you for sharing this. ❤❤❤❤

[@charlielebby1507]

YES! Love hearing your mom's wisdom! I have rewatched all of your past interviews with her, they are gold!

[@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast]

Thanks! I agree!

[@Noyb48061]

I have rewatched them all as well. From the bottom of my heart, thank you both. ❤

I rewatch them often!

[@blocksandtulips8436]

Your mom so reminds me of Caroline Ingals from Little House on the Prairie! Your mom has the same gentleness, wisdom and smile that “ma” has. ☺️

[@downlow0075]

When we were in accountability group (back in the day) Jenise always said " let's pray about that right now"

[@Dreaming0fSunshine]

I really loved this episode. I have enjoyed the interviews with your mom that you’ve had in the past on youtube as well. I always feel so encouraged after listening to these conversations, so much wisdom ❤️

[@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@justaperson7130]

Thanks so much for all of the wisdom you and your mom have shared. I am a 64 year old grandmother of 8 young ones and still learning from your mom. She's such a gem!

Wonderful and godly content for moms looking for encouragement like myself! I have four kids, one grown one out of the home and it is still relevant! Building relationships and having fun with eachother is always ongoing as we grow and develop as a family.

Considering she has had 11 children, Jenise Johnson looks impossibly good.

[@sarahostermann20]

Such a great video to see the beauty in motherhood and our ultimate goal as a Godly mom. Do you have any info on that cd for older siblings? I'd love to find out what that is. I feel like i might be putting pressure on my oldest and see the need to change up my approach. Grateful for this video 🤍

[@annaburke8537]

My husband does not have a very good heart about our life right now. We have a baby and he is very negative about having to do things around the house and his entire goal every day is to be able to play video games. It really worries me about our future and I don't know what to do to help him get through this.

[@FancieRay]

I'm so sorry you guys are going through a rough season. That can be so hard for both of you. I had a coworker who's husband was experiencing the same thing- his life was work and Fortnite - he is now through to the other side and a more connected father. :) His wife's diligent prayers for him were answered with a yes.

[@annaburke8537]

@@FancieRay same here! His attitude has completely turned around. I'm so grateful.

Love this interview. I wish u guys would move the mics down so I see your faces better. Otherwise great!

[@angelina6744]

I feel very inspired by your videos and your interviews with your mum, thank you very much for the good content! I only find it very challenging to apply some things to my family and my way of doing motherhood because I as a person am sooo much different from the both of you - not as much energy, not much a person with a lot of structure in myself and not very authoritative (?😅🙈 ). Do you have experience with other mums saying similar things and their experience with trying more structure/teaching their kids more...? I have two children (almost 4 and almost a year old) and I love being a mother.💛

[@shelbylcasper]

Hi there! I love your videos and Janise is such an inspiration!!!! Is the Get It All Done Club valuable for working mothers as well? I have implemented so much of Mama Nisey's wisdom already - enjoying motherhood so much more the 2nd time around!

[@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast]

Yes it is! We have all types of women in the Get it All Done Club. Actually we have lots of working mothers in there. We have homeschool moms, and moms that have kids in public school. We have moms with special needs kids. We have adoptive moms, moms of twins. I can guarantee you will find other women like you in the club. It's a lot of fun interacting with all the ladies on there.

[@nika...]

If I may: please lower the mics and bring them a bit closer to yourselves, I’m losing your faces a little bit and your voices trail a tiny bit. Just wanna see your faces more, I’m sure like me all your viewers just want more of you guys :)

Can you tell us more about the vests and patches? Did you buy these?

[@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast]

They are from Amazon. I have all the links for the exact ones that I used in my homeschool course as part of resources.

[@Mamato3]

@@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast I’m honestly a little disappointed by a response like this. Is it really necessary to put all your God given wisdom and knowledge and handy things behind a paid barrier?? Something as simple as a link to an amazon item? Is that what a Titus 2 woman is meant to do? I’m not trying to bash you here.. just trying to see if maybe you took the paid things a little too far. Do you really want to point people to your expensive (for me it is!) course to be able to get the link to an amazon item? Just some thought. Appreciate your videos and this one with your mom too! God bless ❤

[@3ate4]

Must be nice to be so motivated and Christ-like. And to obviously have so much support. I'm discouraged as a wife and parent. I literally want to give up sometimes. What you're saying sounds nice and all, but seems like you're coming from a legacy of knowing how to do all of this. I don't have that.

[@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast]

It is a blessing to have a mother and grandmothers who have exampled being a godly wife and mother. But anyone can start implementing these things into their life and seeing results. That's a big reason why I created the Get It All Done Club. And the club has only gotten better with the addition of a community group to connect with other women who can relate to you. Regularly women share unique challenges, and other women chime in saying they have the same experiences.

[@3ate4]

@@NowThatWereAFamilyPodcast well I unfortunately can't pay for that. So I'll have to stick to the videos on your KZbin of what your mother says in your interviews.

[@Mamato3]

@@3ate4 Hi mama! I know the feeling. I come from a very difficult family, but God is faithful and has convicted my heart on a lot of things! Here are some books to check: triggers; exchanging parents’ angry reactions for gentle biblical response by Amber Lia and Wendy Speake. Also: five love languages of children Also: the lifegiving home by Sally Clarkson and many more of her books. No need to spend a ton of money on one persons’ course. Read books!!
