  • Episode 115. Raising Gender Healthy Girls
    Nov 19 2024

    Our culture is heavily evangelistic in shaping our child’s worldview identity, which is why we Christian parents are called to speak up! In this first episode of a two-part series, Amy interviews Ricky Chelette of Living Hope Ministries on how to raise gender healthy boys.

    In Raising Gender Healthy Girls, Ricky graciously addressed the girly-girls and the tomboys of the group. He debunks the cultural stereotype that parents are helpless on-lookers when girls get emotional, but instead offers tangible ways both mom and dad are to nurture their growing daughter to help her be secure in her womanly identity. Funny, accessible, and filled with practical steps, listeners will be empowered to know their daughter better and raise her up to the glory of God.

    Main Points Covered

    • Understanding your Girl(s)
    • What individual girls need from Mom and Dad
    • Suggestions for when you're struggling to connect with your girl
    • What can dads and families do when they don’t have a present/stable mother figure within the home?

  • Episode 113: How to Talk to Your Kids About Politics
    Oct 15 2024

    Talking about politics is hard enough, but throw kids into the mix and it can feel like navigating a mine field. That’s why we here at Mama Bear want to take a few minutes to help empower parents with a few tips on how to share their political beliefs in front of their children. In this podcast, Jennifer and Amy encourage parents not to let tempers flare when analyzing the views of their political opponent. Instead, parents are challenged to exercise self control while ROARing through the policies coming across the debate platform, recognize and unpack buzz words, vote for policies not personalities, and much more!

    Parents will leave feeling challenged and embolden help their children think critically, love biblically, and stand firm in the faith while exercising their right to vote.


    Main Points Covered
    • We have a right to speak our views in public.
    • Represent Jesus well in your conversations: Control your temper
    • ROAR through the information
    • Vote Policy not Personality
    • Fact check
    • Value truth over feelings — all truth is God's truth
