- 505Standing Up in A Demanding WorldIf there is anything that the last few years have shown us as a church, it is that there is a battle going on that we must engage in. But, for the Christian, it isn’t a battle fought on an earthly playing field. It is a spiritual battle that must be fought in the spiritual realm. Tina is sharing with you the necessity of fighting the spiritual battle that is waging all around us.

- 506Welcoming Strangers: Practicing Biblical HospitalityWhen you think hospitality, do you think of throwing parties and having people in your house? I did too, but that isn’t exactly what the bible talks about when it tells us to practice hospitality. You don’t need a gift of hospitality to be hospitable. Have you ever watched someone with a gift of hospitality love on others? Maybe you’ve been loved on by someone with a gift of hospitality. You can’t outdo someone with a gift of hospitality, but you can learn from them. So, what’s the big deal about hospitality, anyway? In this episode, Tina discusses biblical hospitality and what steps you can take to obey the command to practice hospitality.

- 507Discerning the Conviction of the Holy SpiritAdmitting that you hear voices in your head may not be at the top of your list of things to bring into the light. But I want you to rest assured you aren’t the only one who hears them. Truth be told, we all do. The tricky part comes when we need to discern whose voice they are. You might think I’m crazy when I tell you I have heard voices in my head over the years. I used to think it was normal to have a committee meeting in my head every time I needed to make a decision or simply sit still for a while.

- 508Embracing Thankfulness in EverydayThis is the week our focus is on all the things we are thankful for. But, did you know that learning to be thankful all year round has the power to bring you much more peace in your life? Learning to practice thankfulness in all seasons of life will be critical to your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Thankfulness keeps us focused on Jesus and the more we are focused on Him the more at peace we will be every day. Being thankful in, not for, what we walk will be crucial. In this week's episode, Tina shares five biblical principles about thankfulness with you and gives you five ways you can step up your spiritual parenting.

- 509Finding Joy in All SeasonsGenerally speaking, joy is pretty easy to find at this time of the year. Christmas music, the lights, and the gatherings all bring joy, but what about when the music silences, the lights are put away and the gatherings aren’t a part of the day? Christmas is a season of joy for most. It’s a time when family and friends gather around beautifully decorated trees and tables full of all kinds of goodies. However, finding your joy in tradition, material gifts, and peace on earth will leave you with anything but joy. Listen in as Tina talks about how you can find joy in all seasons of life. Plus she is sharing with you five tips to help you step up your spiritual parenting.

- 510A Christmas Story Treasure HuntTreasure is something that adds great value to our lives. But, if you want treasure, you must dig for it. Within the story of the birth of Jesus, there are some treasures we don’t traditionally see or talk about. As we go digging for treasure this week, Tina has found some treasures in the Christmas story that I haven’t seen before that she is sharing with you in this episode.

- 511Parenting Wisdom from Mary and Joseph: Timeless Lessons for TodayParenting is never easy and certainly not for the faint of heart, but can you imagine being charged with the responsibility of raising God's own son? Our responsibility isn't all that different than what Mary and Joseph were asked to do. The children we have are a gift from God to be raised for His Kingdom, just like Jesus was. As we stare into the story of Mary and Joseph, there are at least five pieces of timeless wisdom that will strengthen our parenting and breathe life into our children.

- 512Lessons of Faith from Mary and JosephAs we dig into the story of the birth of our Savior, there are many timeless lessons we may not have noticed. Personally, the more I dig in and ponder all the events of the Nativity, the more I learn and the more I can apply to my life all year long. Just reflecting on all that God did in Mary and Joseph’s lives gives me great pause and wonder. They were ordinary people that God did the extraordinary. It is easy for me to think they are different from you and me just in what God was able to accomplish. That simply is not the case. God longs to do the extraordinary in our lives as well. The common denominator I found in this story is their obedience and surrender to the will of God in their lives. Is it possible if you and I simply determined to live an obedient, surrendered life to God, that He can do the extraordinary in our lives too? Tina is sharing with you five timeless lessons in the Christmas story that, if we grasp, will allow God to do the extraordinary in your life as well.
- 513Starting the New Year in Step With GodWe are standing at the door of a whole new year. What will 2025 hold for us individually as well as our communities and our country? Although no one knows the answer to that question, God has already gone before us, sees all of 2025, and will walk us through it one day at a time. There are a few new things He wants to do in your life this year. Join Tina as she shares what those are and how to get started today.

- 514Praying for the Salvation of Our ChildrenAfter celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, it’s easy to pack up the Christmas decorations for next year and move on with our lives, and put the story to bed until next year. There was a very intentional purpose for Jesus being born as a baby to come and live with us. We are the reason for the Christmas Season. It was because of our sins that Jesus had to come in the first place. One of the most important decisions we and our children will ever make is what we will do with Jesus Christ. As parents, one of our most important prayers is for our children’s salvation. We play an important role in where our children will choose to spend eternity. It is never something that should just be left to chance. In this episode, Tina is sharing the importance of praying for our children's salvation as well as giving you resources on how to pray and how to lead them to salvation in Jesus Christ.

- 515The Lordship of Christ Resolves All ThingsI asked Jesus to be my savior at a coffee house at our church when I was eighteen years old. Then, I made the biggest mistake of my Christian life. I didn’t follow Jesus. Maybe you can relate or perhaps you've been wondering why this Jesus thing is working for you. This may be your answer. In this episode, Tina shares how to walk under the Lordship of Jesus Christ so that you can walk victoriously in your relationship with Jesus.

- 516God's Acceptance: Finding Our True Identity as God's ChildrenIf you don’t like what someone says, just cancel them. If you don’t agree with the way someone lives their lives, just move on from them. We live in a world where rejection is becoming the norm. Thankfully, our identity and acceptance don’t rest on the actions of others. In this episode, Tina is sharing about how the acceptance of God is our identity and that is what matters for those of us who are followers of Jesus.

- 517God's Security: Finding Our Identity as God's ChildrenWe have been dealing with a spirit of fear that has overtaken our world, and we are feeling anything but secure and safe. I want to caution you not to fall for a sense of false peace and security as things may seem to be getting better. We have a deceiving enemy. The good news is, we don’t have to live with feelings of fear and insecurity and as a child of God, your identity is wrapped up in the security of who you are in Christ. In this episode, Tina is sharing about how part of our identity in Christ is our security in Him.

- 518Significance: Finding Our Identity as God's ChildrenIn a world demanding conformity, it is easy for us to feel worthless when we don't conform. That simply isn’t the truth about our identity in Christ. When we were spiritually dead in our sins, we had an extremely poor sense of our worth. Unfortunately, as a child of God, we still believe the lies the enemy tells us about our worth and value. Join Tina this week as she shares with you the power of knowing your significance in Christ.

- 519Preparing for VictoryAll we have to do is open our eyes and see that there is a battle playing out more and more in our world. This battle is real and we must engage in it as followers of Jesus. But, for his followers, it isn’t a battle fought on an earthly playing field. It is a spiritual battle that must be fought in the spiritual realm with spiritual weapons.Spiritual warfare is something that is often misunderstood. Many churches are not teaching spiritual warfare as it is described in the Bible and are actually bringing mysticism and divination into the church. Something we are strictly warned to have nothing to do within the Bible. In this episode, Tina shares with you some basic truths about spiritual warfare to get you started walking in victory over the spiritual realm.Subscribe to the Prayer Tribehttps://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesFREE DOWNLOAD: The Spiritual Chain of Commandhttps://storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-17931658/documents/829e932b49ab4410bac56cbbccee1a03/Spiritual%20Chain%20of%20Command.pdfSpiritual Warfare Resourceshttps://RaisingKidsonYourKnees.org/spiritual-warfare-resourcesFlying Arrow Productions
- 520The Posture of Our Heart in PrayerPrayer has the power to transform your children’s lives. I do not doubt because I’ve seen God do it in my own children’s lives. And seeing answers to your prayers for your children is one of the biggest blessings you have outside of the privilege of being their parent. Teaching your children to pray will set them up for victory in their lives. Prayer is one of our greatest offensive weapons against the attacks of the world, our flesh, and the devil. In this episode, Tina is sharing how the right heart posture before the Lord places us in the position of seeing answers to powerful prayers.Join the Prayer Tribehttps://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=1d32b464414d48e0Flying Arrow Production
- 521The Path to True FreedomForgiveness is also a subject that sparks many emotions inall of us. Walking in unconditional obedience to Jesus in this area has been one of the hardest places I've had to walk personally. Forgiveness is at the very foundation of our ability to walk in freedom and victory with Christ over our past and our present. It will also require the utmost of integrity on our part to pull it off! In this episode, Tina is sharing with you the path to true freedom through forgiveness. You will learn how you can choose to forgive those who have hurt you today and be healed.Listen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast with Tina and Britt https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=7e02835243734975Join the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesFlying Arrow Productions
- 522Navigating Life with Honesty and AuthenticityIntegrity isn’t something we see too much of in our societytoday. Lying has become the native tongue of our culture. Unfortunately, it is also the native tongue of the devil. I expect the world to speak the native tongue of the enemy, but when we, as God’s children, don’t walk with integrity, we are just like our enemy. You see, the only thing God can’t do is lie and it should also be true of His children.Because integrity isn’t exactly something that is regardedas a high priority in our culture, it must be of utmost importance in God’s economy. In this episode, Tina is sharing with you what biblical integrity looks like and how to take steps today to begin walking a life of honesty and authenticity as a Christian.Join the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast with Tina and Britt https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=c1d3cfa0b49740dbFlying Arrow Productions
- 523Walking Humbly with GodHumble pie is hard to swallow sometimes. But, what I’ve learned is, done right, it can have a sweet taste. Let’s face it, Jesus gave us the perfect recipe for humble pie. And teaching our children this secret will give them a great start to peaceful living with others. Humility comes with its own set of misconceptions. I believe we see what we may think "looks" like humility when, in fact, the opposite is true. In this episode, Tina is sharing with you what biblical humility looks like and gives you tips on how to walk in it.Join the Prayer Tribe here https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=e56799dd30a04fa6Flying Arrow Productions
- 524Exposing Lies About GodWe have an enemy who lies about who God is and every day we are bombarded with those misconceptions of who God is. We are exposed to all kinds of beliefs and gods in our world and praying that our children will be able to discern the truth is vital. Peter reminds us that the enemy who prowls around trying to deceive us and our children and lure us to worship everything but the one true God. In this episode Tina is sharing five lies we often believe about God and the truth of the word of God about them.Little Ones on Their Knees https://raisingkidsonyourknees.org/little-ones-on-their-kneesJoin the Prayer https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesFlying Arrow Productions
- 525Escaping the Prison of FearFearless faith is choosing to trust God beyond the unknown.There are a lot of unknowns in the world and what is going on in it these days, but we should not be surprised or panicked at all. Things are going according to God’s plan, and He is the One in control, despite what our human eyes are telling us.The temptation is to fear just about everything. There arewars and rumors of wars, nations rising up against nations, earthquakes, and famines. People are turning from faith in God and people are betraying one another. Many false prophets are deceiving so many. Yet, as followers of Jesus, we know that all these things must happen before Jesus returns to settle the score with sin. In this episode, Tina shares five Bible verses and how you can overcome fear by walking them out.Join the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=60eaac2447e64191Flying Arrow Productions
- 526Finding God's Protection in a Troubled WorldMany of us fear the protection of our children when we leavethem anywhere these days. No one knows what to expect and violence has been steadily ramping up. Not only are we concerned about the physical protection of our children, the reports of the conditioning of our children are alarming. At every turn, the biblical values that we teach our children are under attack. It is becoming a world where the authority ofparents over what our children are taught and live is being undermined. I’m here to tell you there is a solution toall of it, right at our fingertips.

- 527Walking in Faith Through Every Season of LifeThis time of the year can significantly changeour children’s lives. Maybe your child is just graduating from preschool, high school, or college. Maybe you have a newly engaged child or are expecting their first child. No matter what the change may be, some significant emotions come with each change of seasons in our lives.The only way we can navigate all the change is by clingingto the truths of the Bible and holding tightly to Jesus when our children begin to hit what a Pastor friend of mine calls "launching points".

- 528Unshaken HopeI have never had hopeless despair crouch at the door before,but it was sitting right there waiting for me to open it and let it waltz right in. It’s easy for that to happen when you look around and see the state of our country and the world. Since the pandemic, it feels like we are on a fast track to the end times. No one knows when that will happen but God,but the signs are surely here. The one thing that makes everything different for us as believers is that our hope isn’t in this world. It is in the world to come and all the things that are happening in this world are things that must happen before Jesus comes back. In this episode, Tina is sharing how to walk with unshaken hope in the midst of hard.Little Ones on Their Knees Prayer Journal https://RaisingKidsonYourKnees.org/little-ones-on-their-kneesSubscribe to the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourknees Flying Arrow Productions
