• 024 - Beyond the Gifts: How to Emphasize Generosity and Giving During the Holidays

  December is such a special time of year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus—but let’s be honest, it can also get a little crazy! Between shopping, decorating, and keeping up with everyone’s expectations, that sense of peace we long for can slip right through our fingers. In this episode, Rich and Julie Young talk about how, as a family, to stay focused on what really matters this Christmas. They share simple, practical ways to slow down, take the pressure off gift-giving, and help our kids grow hearts of generosity instead of entitlement.Rich & Julie Young, hostsResources Mentioned in the Episode:→ The Love Languages & touchpoints of love→ An overview of the Love Languages video→ The Love Languages test (for adults)→ The Love Languages test (for children)→ ⁠Episode 17: The Entitlement Epidemic: A Parent's Guide to Recognition and Remedy // Spotify // Apple Podcasts // YouTubeAdvent Books & Devotionals for the family:→ The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado→ Jacob’s Gift by Max Lucado→ Christmas Cross by Max Lucado→ Jotham’s Journey (the first in a series) by Arnold Ytreeide // (View the whole series here: https://amzn.to/4ouhB1z)→ The CandyMaker’s Gift by David & Helen Haidle→ The Power of Christmas Prayer by Stormie OMartian→ One Wintry Night by Ruth Bell Graham→ The Donkey Who Carried a King by R.C.

• 023 - Intentional Discipleship: Continuously Guiding Your Children to Christ (a discussion with Don & Julie Keating)

  In the final episode of our series on Discipline and Discipleship, Rich and Julie Young are joined by Don and Julie Keating for a heartfelt conversation about what it really looks like to disciple our children at every stage of parenting. God has entrusted us with the sacred calling to teach the next generation about Him — and what a privilege that is! But if you’ve ever wondered where to even start, you’re not alone.We’ll talk about how discipleship begins with the posture of our own hearts, how our children learn more from what we model than what we say, and how to walk this out even when we feel overwhelmed or imperfect. With practical steps and real-life encouragement, this episode reminds us that God loves our children even more than we do — and He is faithfully present to guide us every step of the journey.Rich & Julie Young, hostsDon & Julie Keating, Growing Families leaders→ Episode 21: Discipline vs. Discipleship: Defining the Difference, Discovering the Benefits // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Episode 22: Heart-Focused Discipline: Teaching our Children, Not Just Punishing // Apple // Spotify // YouTubeResources Mentioned in the Episode:→ Praying the Scriptures books by Jodie Berndt—--------------------------------------------------→ The Growing Families Website→ Register for a Class→ Our Courses→ ⁠Contact Mom Ministry⁠→ The U.S. Bookstore→ The Australia & NZ Bookstore→ The Asia Pacific Bookstore→ The Brazil Bookstore→ Instagram→ Facebook→ YouTube Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]

• 022 - Heart-Focused Discipline: Teaching our Children, Not Just Punishing (a discussion with Don & Julie Keating)

  Don and Julie Keating return as guests on the podcast as we dive deeper into a discussion on the importance and the necessity of discipline in parenting our children well. When we think of disciplining our children we can often think that only means punishment and doling out consequences.. But to discipline actually means to train a child in right behavior.  While this does often involves consequences, there is so much more involved to encourage right behavior. (And this may not be something we want to hear, but to train our children well, we have to be disciplined ourselves.) The discussion involves practical ways to discipline our children at each stage of parenting:1-Discipline phase: 0-5 years2-Training phase:  6-12 years3-Coaching phase: Teen yearsWe also focus on the importance of the layer upon layering of the foundation that is vital to raising responsible children who bring glory to God, bless the family, and bless others. Enjoy the conversation involving guidance, practical examples, and plenty of admissions of things we wish we had a do-over on.Rich & Julie Young, hostsDon & Julie Keating, Growing Families leadersDiscipline & Discipleship Episodes:→ Episode 21 // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Episode 22 // this episode→ Episode 23 // Coming soon!Speaking Life Podcast Episodes:→ Episode 2: A matter of life and death.

• 021 - Discipline vs. Discipleship: Defining the Difference, Discovering the Benefits (a discussion with Don & Julie Keating)

  Join Rich and Julie Young as they welcome special guests, Don and Julie Keating, for an insightful conversation about their parenting journey. The Keatings open up about the principles that have guided their family, emphasizing the power of being a united team and the importance of speaking life into their children. As they put it, they are truly "better together," and this shared front has been essential to their success in raising 5 children who love the Lord and each other.The discussion also dives deep into a vital distinction for every parent: the difference between discipline and discipleship. While discipline focuses on correcting behavior, discipleship is about training a child's heart. Both are necessary for raising well-rounded children, but an imbalance, as too much of one at the expense of the other can be counterproductive. This episode offers practical wisdom for building a family on a foundation of love and intention.Rich & Julie Young, hostsDon & Julie Keating, Growing Families leadersSpeaking Life Podcast Episodes:→ ⁠Episode 2: A matter of life and death.
