Thank you soo much for sharing experiences with your kids.. I now know im not alone and i won’t let my fears to be transfered to my sons, instead they will inherit my faith! In Jesus Name, Amen!

[@user-fe1wh7wq9k]

Glad to hear that you don’t have to be perfect to talk to your children about similar “sins” (even our adult children )… talking from a place of experience. I’m glad you’re addressing honor your parents …. Even adult children forget . I pray for mine often . A degree doesn’t make a stay at home mom irrelevant …no matter how smart you become. God uses even the simpleton to confound the wise 😊

[@user-fe1wh7wq9k]

I’m so glad you’re addressing spiritual warfare … it’s timely and needed .

[@monicafaria6267]

Gave your grace🎉This phase can help us a lot. Thank you very much. God bless you

[@rowenarobinson1528]

I love that you mentioned that we shouldn’t be dealing with our kids as problems to be solved but rather to walk with them.. my kids are very young ( toddler) but I tend to often have that problem mindset, which can sometimes make parenting very restrictive.. thank you for sharing!

[@dnmccurry]

These podcasts are getting better and better! They are always great. I also get so excited when I see one posted. I drop what I’m doing and listen. Praying you have exponential growth. The information is desperately needed.

[@yolande9660]

I find her voice so soothing 😊

[@stevesawyer6377]

I'm so glad to hear someone discuss the need for spiritual warfare. God started pressing on me how we have moved into a season of this st the beginning of March. Great job you two are doing.

[@anitavictorious3783]

I had been fighting with someone when I got alone with God and came across this. I thought we were in agreement on something and started to take care of the important things, because they struggle with procrastination, when I realized there was an undercurrent. The timing of listening to this was invaluable and I thank you for what you shared. It helped so much

[@tamara35758]

Know your authority, know your enemy, know your weapons…Simple, accurate according to scripture and soo practical 🙏🏽🙌🏽🎉 Satan is a legalist. Submission to God (the authority of His Word) is directly connected to the degree to which we receive from God and live in victory. This is not a linear walk…these layers intertwine and separate at different places…they connect in ways our minds will never fully grasp…. Our walk as sons and daughters interject with our walk as parents…the authority of God over us and us over our children…critical information here for parenting and living by faith. Love that Addison pointed out/emphasized that God will teach us how to engage with Him in a way that’s authentic to our relationship with Him. Love that Julie put it in plain language, “our children are going to act a fool soo frequently”, and emphasized that we’re moving through adolescence with our children and need to remember that (and respond in such a way that evidences our belief that) they’re in a stage of development and not building a house there. Sooo many practical and wise, scripturally-evidenced, tactics practices/strategies to employ here. Cannot say “THANK YOU” enough for this VERY NEEDED convo for the Body of Christ right now. These are not topics that are being taught in a large number of church bodies…resulting is an ill equipping/defeated body of believers. I’m very thankful Julie and Addison are taking time to process, breakdown, and fully divulge their insight, as revealed by the Holy Spirit, in this sector of knowledge regarding spiritual warfare, authority, being led by the Spirit in prayer, praying the Word, and…we’ll see what else the Holy Spirit reveals❤️❤️❤️🫶🙌🏽🥳🎉👏🏽

I love the realness of the podcast, this is what we been waiting for the daily struggles spiritual warfare is real I look forward to part 2

[@SerenahAlva]

Wow. What an amazing discussion full of wisdom and truth. This was the first time listening to this episode but will certainly not be the last. As a mom of two, ages 2&7, I will be back for some serious note taking. I do hope and pray you guys continue to speak on this topic of spiritual warfare. For the past 3 months I feel as though I’ve hit a slump in my relationship with God. Distracted by my phone, my hobbies, my family, etc…anything and everything really. 3 months ago I felt God closer than ever before. I was journaling, had quiet times with God, reading the Bible, prayed so much every time I got into the car people around me probably thought I was on the phone with some when really I was on a spiritual call with God every chance I got, and engaged in God filled conversations almost daily…to sadly having most if not all of that disappear almost completely. Feeling this sense of a “have to” attitude instead of “want to” when it comes to that God-filled engagement. I hate the felling and miss how close I could feel God. I know the enemy is doing this but I haven’t found a way out of it all. I’m asking for prayers and more conversations like this one to help me and others in the same situation understand that this is something us Christians will go through but not where our journey ends with God.

[@cschultzy]

You guys this episode was amazing. I love listening to the both of you but I absolutely LOVE hearing more from Julie!!! She is such a beautiful voice. Every word of this was such a gift from the Spirit and came just in time. Every day is filled with failures as a parent and it is so easy to dwell on them. Thank you for reminding us we don't have to be a perfect parent to parent with authority. God bless you both, truly. Your messages on you tube and messenger X are FIRE (as the kids are saying these days) ❤

[@ashleykropf4338]

I think I’ve listened to every single episode so far and look forward to listening to every one that comes out! Thank you so much for bringing balance to all of this. I tend towards fear thinking of the devil and what he is capable of but that only happens when I’m looking at Satan versus looking at Jesus who is FAR above all powers of darkness and when we’re seated with Christ that’s where we are! Hallelujah! I really appreciate how you bring it back to humility and submission to God. Love love these conversations and keep going!

[@jonross5899]

It is so hard not to personalize when your kids or family is acting under the enemies influence . Big learning curve for us this year. And yes not to be afraid of it but take authority....know your God , CHRIST the LORD! 😅

[@angiereynoso9171]

Thank you for these teachings. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Please continue this topic. This is something I’ve been asking God to teach me about, I believe He is using this podcast to answer my prayers.

[@lindacapcikova1285]

Really appreciate this series and your authenticity and anchor in the Word of God! I am also in season with teenagers 14, 12 so really co-journeying in this together is SO encouraging! Thank you for the good work and God bless you! 👍

[@GraceZhang-df4dy]

Listening to your podcast from Singapore.This is such a word in season for me. Thank you both for being such a blessing and encouragement.Speaking with great faith & conviction led by the spirit. Love you all! God bless you all abundantly ❤

[@Haythien]

I just want to thank you. I really needed some help right now. And you two clarified some mistakes I had thought were true. So thank you! Looking foward to the next episode!

[@emilyboldea93]

I look forward to your podcasts! Thank you for the wisdom n your dedication to puttin out these podcasts yall🩷🩷

[@rachelbowden5328]

LOVE these conversations!! Can you guys do a mini series on postpartum/first year or so with baby? There's so much condemnation, "not-enoughness," marriage work, etc. that goes into it.. I feel that you guys could talk through from experience with a vulnerability and grace that is unique to you what you all carry. It would be so valuable!!

[@mms_tradefair]

Very true

What a wonderful session

[@nothandomwanza6846]

Is there an episode on spiritual warfare in marriage? I have been married for nearly 10years now, there's been blissful times and there's be moments of attack that tend to be overwhelming, I would love an episode on marriage. But otherwise I love the Beveres from the pioneers John and Lisa, I first met them at rivers sandton in South Africa

[@jonross5899]

Me too. Yeah the enemy trys to settle stuff on us .

[@ila764]

Thank you!

[@mariaryan4805]

Could you give practical examples of what it looks like to parent out of fear vs parenting out of faith?

[@t3m185]

Real life issues. Thanks fam

[@mikegreen9832]

This hits hard. My default is to shrink back my wife is to try to control.

[@MeMe_K_smiles]
