ACv Family Talk

3.23 Prep The Soil

Teaching and training children at home involves helping them discover their giftedness and tending the soil of their hearts. We are essentially preparing them for the harsh realities of this fallen and broken world and to be open and ready to receive the message of the gospel. The goal is for our children to go out into the world, use the gifts and talents God has blessed them with to bring Him glory, and bear good fruit. Getting in tune with your children's unique quirks and modeling openness to the gospel message are tangible ways we lead our children and set them on God-honoring paths.

3.22 Generational Curses

Understanding the root of generational curses and how they wreck the family legacy should be an immediate priority to know, uproot, and purge in our lifetime.  As followers of Christ, we have to do the work to discover the source of dysfunction and heal what's broken in our family. How we choose to live, function in marriage, and what we teach our children is our testimony.  We are witnesses to how God desires to work in and through our family and give future generations a better inheritance.

3.21 Boring Boundaries

Obeying God's Law and direction for our lives, home, and family are the boundaries God has established to rescue us from the power of sin, protect us from folly, preserve us, and bless us. In a culture that views boundaries as unnecessary and boring, believers are called to be set apart for His glory, intimately familiar with "boring boundaries," and be thankful for how He loves and cares for us.
 

3.20 Wandering Eyes

AC is back for season three of ACv Family Talk!! She's kicking off the season premiere on the topic of wandering eyes. When we lose focus on God's design for our lives, marriage, family, and home life, we can easily find ourselves aimlessly WANDERING. Then we WONDER how {pineapple!} we get caught up in the sin that so easily entangles us.

2.19 The Wise Wife

The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. AC only has pearls on this season finale of ACv Family Talk by discussing the attributes of a wise wife through the lens of the wise and beautiful Abigail in 1st Samuel chapter 25.

2.18 Complementarianism

Children thrive when we, as parents, set a healthy tone for the day and there is a rhythm in their activities. Similarly, adults thrive when we understand our purpose and the rhythm of our lives runs smoothly. God has so uniquely gifted and wired us to complement each other within community and in our relationships. AC offers a fresh perspective on making more intentional decisions to submit to God’s design for life, family, and ministry.

2.17 The World Is Watching

The court of public option is nothing compared to the little eyes and ears at home. Children take their cues on how to communicate and what is appropriate adult behavior from what is modeled at home. AC offers a helpful perspective on how she intentionally capitalizes on the exposure of her children's ever-watchful eyes and ears at home.

2.16 Faith & Doubt

God has called us to practice what is true. It begins with being honest about who we are in relation to the knowledge of who God is. We can not walk in truth or prepare our children for the realities of this fallen world if we, as parents, are submitted to and walking in a faithless and doubtful posture.

2.15 How Women Make Their Mark

A wise woman builds her house. The foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. On the topic of making an impact in today's culture, AC shares what she has learned about the power of influence and how she chooses to use the works of her hands to make the greatest impact in her life, family, and the people that God brings into her sphere of influence.

2.14 Detox

Episode 14 is a continuation of the previous episode on isolation. The actions we take before and during what AC calls the mental health storms determine how favorable the outcome will be. Depression and anxiety were storms that are now testimonies that AC is eager to share to inspire and encourage others.
