Worship is a posture of the heart. In this episode, Carl and Christian Fauth explore what it means to create an atmosphere of worship in the home. More than music, worship is a lifestyle that influences the next generation. Through honest conversations and personal stories, they unpack what worship can practically look like in everyday family life. They address keys to building a home of worship and discuss how to deal with resistance from children who are skeptical about new family rhythms. Their conversation also highlights the importance of modeling authentic faith. Creating a culture of worship in the home takes consistency, sincerity, and vulnerability of parents as they allow children to see both their strengths and weaknesses in living a life of worship. The spirits of children are ready to receive, even from infancy, but it is never to late to make your home and house of worship. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Worship: A Posture of the Heart 00:02:58 What Does Worship Look Like in the Home? 00:06:31 3 Keys to Building a Home of Worship 00:11:51 Real Life Stories 00:15:40 Overcoming Resistance to Worship in the Home 00:23:00 Modeling Authenticity 00:29:19 The Role of Grandparents 00:36:12 Final Thoughts <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';
Language is more than vocabulary. It's memory. It's culture. It's prayer. It's the voice your child hears when they need comfort. This conversation explores what it looks like to raise children in more than one language—not from a place of pressure, but from purpose. The beauty of giving your child access to grandparents' stories, to worship in two tongues, to Scripture that sounds different but carries the same truth. There's honest here too. The fear that you're not doing enough. The worry that mixing languages will confuse them. The tension of wanting your child to "fit in" while also wanting them to fully know where they come from. Bilingual parenting takes intention. It takes repetition. It takes patience when little ones answer you in English after you've asked the question in Spanish — again. But language is connection. It builds bridges across generations. It keeps culture alive at the dinner table. It allows faith to be spoken in the heart language of your home. And children are more capable than we think. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:38 Growing Up Between Cultures 00:05:30 Multigenerational Communication 00:08:35 Becoming a Bilingual Family 00:12:04 Strategies for Raising Children in a Bilingual Home 00:16:15 More than Linguistics 00:20:01 The Richness of Biculturalism 00:23:57 No Language Barrier in the Faith 00:27:25 Challenges of Maintaining Two Languages in the Home 00:35:22 "Thy People Shall Be My People" 00:37:28 Introducing Faith Vocabulary to Children 00:43:50 Discipling Bilingual Children in the Church 00:50:56 Assessing and Addressing the Needs of Children 00:52:00 Learning Together 00:53:21 Reflection 00:59:00 Closing & Prayer ---------------------------------------------- Follow Ignite Parenting Instagram | <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;
Homeschooling isn't just an educational choice — it's a way of doing life together. This conversation brings together two homeschool moms at different stages of the journey, reflecting honestly on what homeschooling is, what it isn't and how it shifts across seasons. From early uncertainty and learning curves to freedom, flexibility, and the confidence that comes with time, Ashley Grant and Sabrina Sinks center their discussion on listening to God, knowing your limits, and responding to what your children actually need. They talk through practical realities — laws, structure, cost, socialization, working while homeschooling — but always return to the deeper question: What is God asking our family to do in this season? With Grace and clarity, they name that homeschooling is not the "better" choice for every family, nor is public or private school a failure. Faithfulness sometimes looks like holding on and sometimes letting go. For parents considering homeschooling, currently in it, or discerning a transition, these reflections offer reassurance, wisdom, and permission to pivot — without guilt. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome & Why Homeschooling Feels Overwhelming at First 00:03:00 Laws, Flexibility, and Finding State-Specific Guidance 00:05:30 Curriculum, Structure, & the Freedom to Pivot 00:08:00 Knowing When You're Called — and When You're Not 00:10:30 Academic Struggles, One-on-One Learning & Prayerful Goals 00:12:30 Socialization, Community, and the Role of the Church 00:16:00 Cost, Budgeting, & Creative Approaches to Learning 00:18:30 Multiple Ages, Independence & Shared Learn
A year ago, there was anticipation. Now there's a baby crawling across the floor and a mom reflecting on what she didn't see coming. In this conversation Amy Flattery sits back down with Emmy Nolasco for a one-year follow-up after welcoming baby Ezra. They talk honestly about the emotional whiplash of the first year — how big joy and big overwhelm can exist in the same moment. The newborn trenches. The guilt. The sleep deprivation. The realization that asking for help isn't weakness — it's wisdom. Emmy shares the rhythms she's built into her days: intentional family time, slow showers without guilt, calling grandparents, and praying over Ezra each morning—even before he can fully understand words. There's something powerful about speaking identity and fruit of the Spirit over a child from the very beginning. They talk about daycare guilt, teamwork in marriage, learning to communicate differently as parents, and the importance of taking care of your own soul so you can pour from something healthy. There's practical wisdom here too—baby proof earlier than you think, stop comparing milestones, and let the dishes wait if it means you get one more moment on the floor with your baby. The first year is exhausting. It stretches you. It exposes insecurities. It teaches you to release your child to the Lord again and again. But when Jesus is invited into the process, survival slowly becomes something closer to thriving. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome Back One Year Later 00:02:30 Asking for Help & Releasing Guilt 00:04:00 Family Rhythms & Praying Over Your Baby 00:08:00 Daycare Guilt & Trusting God 00:09:00 Marriage Shifts & Teamwork <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-f
Not everyone has biological family close by—emotionally, physically, or spiritually. And even when we do, sometimes there are gaps. In this episode, Elly Marroquin sits down with Ecclesia Weltman to talk about building spiritual family—the kind that shows up, speaks life into your kids, answers late-night calls, and becomes "aunties," mentors, and spiritual grandparents along the way. Ecclesia shares from personal experience of moving often, navigating relational rifts, and intentionally planting roots in new church communities. They talk about starting with one person, asking for help, protecting your children with wisdom and discernment, and healing from church hurt so it doesn't define your future relationships. Community doesn't form overnight. It takes initiative. It takes patience. It takes courage. It's hard work to build. But it's worth it. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome & Meeting Ecclesia Weltman 00:04:00 Starting Over in New Places 00:08:30 Building Connection One Person at a Time 00:13:00 When Family Isn't Spiritually Present 00:17:30 Why Kids Need a Village 00:22:00 Spiritual "Grandparents" 00:26:00 Safety, Boundaries & Discernment <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121; mso-font-kerning:
Parenting moves in seasons. Some arrive gently. Others come with disruption, questions, and a quiet sense of letting go. Holly Davis joins Pastors Rick and Susan Ross to reflect on what it means to parent through change—when routines shift, roles evolve, and children step into new stages before we feel ready. Drawing from decades in ministry, 46 years of marriage, and life with adult children and grandchildren, they speak with honesty about releasing control, trusting God's timing, and staying anchored in faith. Whether the next transition is approaching or already unfolding, these reflections offer steadiness, perspective, and reassurance that grace meets us in every season. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome & Meet Rick & Susan 00:03:45 Parenting Through Seasons of Change 00:07:20 Releasing Children and Trusting God with Transition 00:12:05 Scripture, Discipline, & Teaching Responsibility 00:18:20 Pray, Mentors, & the Role of Spiritual Community 00:25:00 Marriage, Parenting Styles, & Navigating Tension 00:31:10 Supporting Single Parents & Non-Traditional Families 00:35:15 Loving Well through Presence, Conversation & Play 00:38:40 Prayer for Families Facing Transition & Closing Thoughts ---------------------------------------------- Follow Ignite Parenting <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; m
Parenting comes with pressure—from culture, from comparison, and from our own expectations. In this episode, Josh Wellborn, National Director of Young Adults, sits down with John, National Director of Called, and Alicia Zick for an honest conversation about what intentional, Holy Spirit guided parenting really looks like. Together they share the joys and challenges of becoming young parents, navigating school choices and discipline, finding identity in "the hidden years," and building real community—especially for moms and families far from home. Their stories highlight the beauty of small, everyday moments and the importance of praying through decisions unique to each child. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that God leads, equips, and fills in every gap. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome & Meet John and Alicia 00:01:15 Becoming Young Parents & Feeling Unprepared 00:03:40 Marriage, Moves, & the Early Years 00:05:18 "My Life Is Over?" — Honest First-Time Parent Feelings 00:07:20 Identity, Motherhood, & Beauty of "Hidden Years" 00:10:15 Cultural Pressure vs. Holy Spirit-Led Parenting 00:11:55 School Choices: Public, Homeschool, Christian 00:13:55: Discipline, Consistency, & Prayer Led Decisions 00:18:15 Finding Community as a Young or Single Parent 00:22:50 Mom Groups, Vulnerability & Building Deep Friendships <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #2
When you say yes to foster care, you're saying yes to uncertainty—and to love anyway. In this episode, Mark &Janine Forrester share their honest, faith-filled journey through fostering and adoption: the emotional highs and lows, the waiting seasons, and the ways God showed up in every unknown. They talk about how community makes all the difference, what it means to advocate for a child's best interest, and how to hold onto hope when the process feels heavy. Because foster care isn't about having it all figured out—it's about showing up with open hands and a willing heart. ---------------------------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 00:00:00 Welcome & Meet Mark & Janine 00:02:06 Why Foster Care Was Always Part of Their Story 00:04:40 Starting the Process & Getting Licensed 00:08:45 Letting Go of Control & Trusting God 00:10:28 Faith, Family, and the Power of Love 00:13:29 Preparing Your Family for a New Child 00:17:00 Finding Support & Building Community 00:22:28 The Gift of Respite Care 00:25:28 Pitfalls, Grace & Growth Along the Way 00:26:38 Scriptures That Anchored Their Journey 00:29:27 When You Feel Like Giving Up <span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"
