Raising SinnersChristmas, The Story that Never Gets OldIt’s the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!!! It’s Christmastime! And we’re celebrating hard over here at Raising Sinners! The story of Jesus’ birth seems to come alive every year at this time as parents, grandparents, friends, and family tell the story from Luke chapter 2. Every time we open God’s word to read the account, it seems like it refreshes itself and becomes anew. That’s the truth of God’s word, isn’t it? It’s always fresh and comes alive. And the Christmas story is no different. By gathering to te...2023-12-1438 min

Raising SinnersYour Son Can Trust God, Answering the What-Ifs with Katy BoatmanToday our guest, Katy Boatman, chats with us about her new devotional for boys, “You Can Trust.” We were fascinated listening to Katy discuss how she landed on this writing project. (You’ll have to listen to find out…☺) Preteen boys have a lot of thoughts spinning through their curious minds each day. But too often, their “what-if” questions are rooted in fear and anxiety as they try to find their way in a world that doesn’t always make sense. This easy-to-read devotional by Katy Boatman offers daily encouragement and truths to combat that worry. Each of the...2023-11-1627 minRaising SinnersDoes Your Daughter believe in herself?Coach Paige Tonz is our guest today on the show! Paige is a Girl Athlete Confidence Coach.

James Mckinney joins us this episode to talk about his new (and first!) book, Navigating the Teenage Dating Years. We all have thoughts about our own dating paths, and for the most part, don’t want to replicate those with our own kids. ☺ So, what to do? Go with the culture? Do what everyone else is doing? Tell them to wait until they turn 16 and turn them loose? James Mckinney is a father of two teenagers and husband of twenty-three years to his wife, Melissa. ...2023-10-0536 minRaising SinnersOVERCOMING DESTRUCTIVE ANGER IN PARENTING WITH NATALIE HIXSONAnger in parenting is common.

We’d highly recommend you listen to part 1 before diving in with us for part 2. We surveyed parents a few months ago about where they stood with regards to allowing (or not allowing) sleepovers for their kids. The reviews were heavy on the “no way” or “family only” but there were quite a few parents landing on “yes, they’re fun and such a great childhood memory!” And they are and were! In the internet age, information is coming at...2023-08-2432 minRaising SinnersAnswering Hard Questions – Sleepovers – Part 1 w Caitlin FechnerWe surveyed parents a few months ago about where they stood with regards to allowing (or not allowing) sleepovers for their kids.

In the internet age, information is coming at us at lightning speed. So, we know more. In real time. What do we do with that knowledge? Should it affect our parenting? Our friend, Caitlin Fechner, joins us for...2023-08-1028 minRaising SinnersIt’s Summer! Time to re-PLAY! Change is Hard with Debbie StephensSUMMER is a great time to play catch, isn’t it?

Our society says worry about yourself! Focus on yourself! Take care of yourself! ME ME ME! But the scripture is clear, “So he answered and said, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 Love God. ...2023-05-2536 min

Our friend Rebecca Rapp-Salas joins us and shares how her family keeps it simple. It’s funny but keeping is simple takes planning, intentionality, and grit. Keeping it simple isn’t that simple after all! ☺ What is a simple summer? It’s recognizing the daily gifts of time, rest, and meals together that the school year typically doesn’t afford us.

She co-authored the book, “Passover for Christians” and helps us understand how to “enter the story” as Believers in Christ during this week of remembrance and celebration. This weekend is the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. As Christians, we commemorate Jesus’ death during HOLY WEEK.
