Fantastic advice found here today. This talk shined a light on ways I can encourage myself to feel more safe and be more supportive of my emotions as a single woman. Universally helpful ✌️
I’m so glad that this ministry popped up in my feed today. I followed the link to sign up for Tender and Fierce, but it seems to have changed from what is posted in the description.
Hi! I have a question I'm hoping to run by you. I'm a middle school PE teacher and just finished up my first full year. I was able to make some good connections with the kids(mostly surface level conversations) and really enjoyed my first year, but, I feel like I need to be doing so much more with the platform I've been given. I'm unsure how to truly impact these kids and make a lasting difference in their lives. I want to inspire them to grow and pass on wisdom to them in this short window of time that I get with them as their teacher. I wanted to reach out and ask if you have any resources on how I can better reach these kids or if you have any practical advice that comes to mind. Any bit helps, thanks for your time and for all you do! PS. I teach at a public school so I know I'm limited as far as sharing the gospel. I want to learn how I can share Jesus with these kids too, in a way that is respectful and appropriate, but this question is mostly focused on general life stuff. How can I help them become better people,etc.
Absolutely wonderful to listen to you both. Thank you so much, Dr Gary Oliver. I went through dark days where I lost 7 family members, had two back ops after a serious Nursing Injury. Everything you say I relate to. What depths you embrace and give us so beautifully and freely. God bless you abundantly. You are encouraging, inspiring and uplifting. You usher us into a realm of hope, glory, promises, and draw us close to Abba Father,Holy Spirit, Jesus. Promises and perspectives. So much. ❤️🤍🙏🏻
RU-vid just recommended this video and I love it. Your insights on the purpose of pain and the journey of healing was truly eye-opening. Your insights into the transformative power of pain and the process of healing reflect the principles of hope and personal growth on my channel. I just liked and subscribed. Keep spreading hope and healing to those who need it most
This episode spoke to my heart! It sounds like God has us on the same path to listen and follow His leading, no matter what the personal cost is. From getting rid of the physical 'stuff' to healing our hearts, He has a purpose for our lives. Thank you for sharing where you're at right now. Coming to a place of looking at today, one step at a time, not trying to 'figure it out' and following Him; that's what this is all about.❤
Many thanks for creating this video on life transitions and rituals. What purpose do rituals serve in regards to religion? I'm impressed, I've liked this video and you've got yourself a new subscriber!e
Was there a prayer guide rubric that you guys were talking about in the pod? For the type of prayers said before Shabbat dinner? Maybe there’s a link and I just didn’t find it in the comments! Thank you 🙏🏻 This message was very inspirational for me and I discussed it with my husband. We are in the midst of trying to find what is soulfully restful (sadly it’s really hard!) and to honor God’s gift by implementing this special day in our family. 🙏🏻
@@FamousatHomepodcast Looking for that Shabbat Prayer you mentioned you would share. I filled out the form as you requested please send it over when you get a chance please.! Thank you in advance!

"what I'm telling you is... What I'm telling you is.... What I'm telling ME is.." 😂 thank you for the reminder that how I handle my own stress effects my parenting in a big way
Can y’all do a video on how the waiting game works for y’all as you dream and look forward to the future. Because waiting is a huge challenge for dreams
Thanks so much for mentioning the book! I am buying a camper for my family just so we can get away from technology and just be outside and together. I've always had respect for the Amish lifestyle. I bet that's cool living closely to them with your family. ❤
I remember reading Simon Sinek's 'Start with Why' a while ago. It has placed me on the path of success. Really refreshing to hear your conversation, resonated with me. Great content, you guys! Continue on your path of genuine content and success (increase following of your channel) will come!
I didn't think I was going to make it when we moved to the ultra-liberal state of Washington. But, it's amazing how apparent it can be when Gid shows you His purpose in the transition. It's faith strengthening.
Proverbs 16:9- The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. Listening to Christi makes me laugh and I'm so thankful I'm not the only one who has made inner vows in ignorance! BUT GOD!!! I can just imagine His face when we say things that go against His will for us and how He laughs at us and says, "Just you wait!" I remember being that 25-year-old soon-to-be mom telling my husband I would never homeschool! I'm not one of those people 😳😆 My husband wanted that and I was absolutely against it. BUT GOD!!! Now, I'm starting my 22nd year of homeschooling and I'm so thankful and BLESSED to God for it! My husband died 5 years ago and our life has had so much transition since then. I now only have three kiddos left at home. God provided a way for us to continue walking in homeschool even after Jason went home. I also understand the pent up energy and having nowhere to go and the time of waiting. God's timing is perfect. It's quick and NOW! In January he sold our home one day and within 2 hours I was signed up for my Certified Christian Life Course. I had been impatiently waiting for 10 months to hear when He wanted me to start that. I received my official certification this last week and now I'm waiting to hear when he wants us to move to Florida. He told me in February 2022 that we would be moving there. I also said many moons ago that I would never, ever move to Florida. BUT GOD!!! I have found that when I finally surrendered everything to Him, that's when He moves. He's waiting on us to get to the place we need to be. I am so thankful for His faithfulness. I had all of the energy last fall and winter that you both speak about, feeling like you need to move and you're being held back. After the last 8 months, I'm in a time of calm and waiting. It's much needed because transition takes a lot of physical and mental strength. Thank you both for sharing your heart and being real!
What an encouragement this video was for me today. My family just made a “jump” and left our beautiful community to say yes to God and His calling 2 hrs away. It wasn’t easy but we knew we could trust our Lord. I was just telling a new friend, “when God calls you to something, He goes before you!” I believe that with everything I am and I have seen Him do things and prepare a way like only He can. May your family “jump” in full confidence knowing that He goes before you!!
So excited for this adventure for you all 🙌🤍 it truly is an adventure saying yes when God provides direction for your family. I laughed so hard at the description of a tractor chicken coop 😂
It is not safe to tell people what is okay and / or what is not okay to do just because you do or do not do them…. Be sure to speak from experience prior/past/present/ and your GOD Willing future… ❤THE BIBLE is clear on The Sabbath… I work 7 days a week unfortunately like physical labor so I don’t want you to think I think I am better then you in any way…. Just a warning that when we teach we are harder judged…. ❤ Also, I am so happy young people are talking about The Sabbath and starting their journey(s) to follow The Commandments and walk like JESUS our LORD and SAVIOR.
Thank you for this great episode, just as a side note, it’s been a while now that I cannot access to your podcast: it indicates that the episode is unavailable. I’m in Europe so I don’t know if it has anything to do with that, it suddenly stopped playing the most recent episodes 🤷♀️
So timely and thank you for the reminder that my own emotional regulation is the key for during toddler tantrums. And to keep the kiddo feeling seen and loved 🤍
I desire this for my family. I pray and declare that this will start with us. As a first generation Latina living in an urban community, this is the opposite of what’s been taught. Breaking generational curses so that this can be the normal for our grandchildren.
I am kind of in shock after listening to part 1. So much makes sense now and I guess I'm not alone? I realize now that I am very much stuck in my sympathetic nervous system and I am greatly triggered on the daily by my kids. This is such a painful realization because I love them so much, but also relieving somehow at the same time. My question is this (and maybe it will be answered once I listen to part 2) but how did you overcome this mountain and homeschool your children? My kids are 1 and almost 3, so we aren't quite there yet, but I also want to homeschool. I am very afraid that I can't handle it with how much I'm struggling at home with them now. It makes me think that I may not be on the right path and that maybe they would be better served by going to school?
I love the encouragement to look for the blessing from our fathers. In counseling work I’ve done it’s so much of “what’s wrong” it was easy to lose what was good. I loved that chapter in the “Intentional Father” by Jon Tyson where you write a letter to your dad telling him everything he got right. I did that last year and gave it to my dad at Fathers. The process of writing it was so healing to me. Thanks for the encouragement in that same direction. :) And I love the idea that honor doesn’t traffic in denial. Great episode!
