Parenting is hard work. The stages of childhood change rapidly. Before you realize it, it will be time to talk about dating. Approaching this subject with your child can be downright intimidating. Before you begin, know that today's dating culture is radically different from when you were a teen and young adult. Sexual promiscuity is rampant. Sexual identity, date rape, binge drinking, emotional cheating, sexting and a host of new and more shocking behavior is the normal for today's teens. Becoming more acquainted with today's culture is necessary is the on-going job of today's parents. Educate. Read. Listen.

As the mom of two beautiful daughters the topic of beauty materializes often. This conversation is intended to validate the beauty in your daughter and mine. It is imperative that we speak to the dehumanizing of our daughters by the culture that they live in daily. What are the messages that they hear about beauty? What do they hear about their beauty? Dehumanizing deprives a woman of dignity, respect, human qualities, personality and self-worth.

As a rough water lifeguard and an eager health enthusiast, I completely support physical exercise being part of raising a whole child. However, I struggle with the emphasis on sports in today's youth culture. While sports is about fun and exercise, it's benefit can be much greater. More importantly, I think that playing recreational sports offers a platform to talk about how to respond when winning and losing. Self-control, hard work ethic, determination, stamina and a never-give-up attitude last long after the game is over.

Women are inundated with lies about God, about ourselves, about our marriage and about children. What are some of these lies? What are the truths needed to combat some of these lies? My beliefs represent my worldview. It is critical that I renew my mind with the truths that God reveals in His Word. Continually, I must identify toxic thinking and pursue healthy, truthful thinking. It is the every day habits that make up my life.

Because I know God as my Father, I am confident in who I am in Him. His fondness of me is unfathomable, reliable and true. On any day when the vortex of the world threatens to vomit fear, despondency and panic, I still. Grabbing a front row somewhere in nature allows me to breathe deeply and remember my identity as a deeply loved child of God. These three lies and four truths offer deep insight.

The audible word of God is available for you and me anytime we desire to hear it. Truthfully, I read my Bible out loud even when I am by myself so that I can use more of my senses to fully take in His truths. So often when I read I am overwhelmed by God's love for me as well as His power as creator of the physical world I live in daily. Our Father God designed you and me for relationship with Him. The great void in our spirit when we are not connected to Him is filled when hear the audible word of God.

How much of life is lived in the shallows? Suddenly, life becomes deep as a tragedy, death or even a birth sharpen our awareness. When my interests only go as deep as myself, I am shallow. A deep soul empathizes and sees others. When we ignore our interior life, it is impossible to have the exterior life that we desire. Clarity and authenticity are impossible. How do we keep our soul? The stream is your soul. You are the keeper. Explore this conversation with us.

Our gift to you is this dramatized reading by Tim Simpson telling the history behind "What Child is This?" Tim is a professional narrator who shares his gifts with all of this season.
