Shifting Culture through Music in Your Home
22:06
Come along with me and let’s bring the truth of God into your home through the gift of music as we prayerfully prepare to launch Heaven in Your Home Family Music.
In this episode you’ll hear how a little rap based on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 became a seed not only to plant truth in the hearts of my children, but one planted to bring my talented friend and musician Kathryn Brummer alongside to write beautiful songs based on teaching truths.
The catchiness of the rap caught on and all of my kids not only sing it while we’re in the kitchen or in the car, but that rap launched us into countless deeper conversations about the significance of God’s design, His heart for us, and His amazing plan for how we live in our bodies as male and female.
We want to see that happen for families all over the world. We want to see the life-shaping power of music, combined with truth filled theology, form our kids' worldviews and shift the culture of our homes from the inside out.
We want to invite you to join us in launching a music platform, Heaven in Your Home Family Music, offering families a foundation-building space to celebrate God’s wonderful design and truth through song.
We are prayerfully partnering with a producer and studio to bring the music to life THIS MONTH. Won’t you partner with us to make this happen.

36:25
God invites you to be captivated by Him. This episode is a sweet celebratory time of sharing my heart, how the Lord captivated my whole heart…and how in the world I ended up as an “intimacy evangelist,” encouraging you to know God’s heart for your body, your sexuality and your married intimacy.In this episode you’ll hear more about my journey from a newlywed bride suddenly trying to flip a switch from, “don’t do it,” to embracing God’s good intentions with married sex. I knew there was more to sex than what the world showed and a story bigger than the silence I sensed from the church. We’ll talk about the idea of having a honeymoon marriage, the vision of shalom and having Heaven in your home, and the healing journey that we are all on as we lean into God for transformation.
You’ll hear from women on the same journey, the ways He is meeting them and the fruitfulness they are experiencing. Let’s celebrate, friend.

Episode 98: Body Talks with Kids. Big Picture Vision, Small Phrases to Create Impact.
25:27
Let’s talk about image bearing power, because what your body reveals is really good news. As you teach your children to watch for the cultural cues that seek to elevate ideas that don’t align with God’s goodness, let’s look at the good news that the body itself reveals.
God uses visible things to reveal what is invisible about His nature. This is true for your body. You can see something about our invisible God through the body. We can know God by observing the things He has made.
Sexuality and gender is like a clue to show us what God is like and how we can show God to others through the body.
Your body is good! Let’s lean in to the good news shown through theology of the body.
You’ll learn small phrases to help you teach your children about the meaningful purpose of the body…and show them a better way to create a big cultural shift.

Episode 97: Body Talks with Kids. Connecting to the Meaning of YOUR Body.
30:16
Do you want to know how to effectively lead your kids into truth during this confusing time in our culture? It begins with understanding the meaning of what it is to be human…and it starts with YOU.
What does it mean to be a fully alive human, made in the image of God from head to toe? And, what does it look like to walk in fullness of knowing why God gave you a body, distinctly male or female with great purpose. God designed your body to be communicators of His glory (Romans 1:20). Your body is GOOD.
When we reframe the conversation about the body, gender and sexualty we can shift from a list of rules, and do’s and don’ts to a vision of WHY God created our body, our gender, our genitals. Embrace the GOODNESS of what God reveals through your body.
Jesus came in a body and we were designed to live in a body, informed by the reality of the love of God. Let’s reconnect to the “why” of our humanity. Listen in and hear a simple framework for teaching theology of the body.

You can’t give away something that you don’t own yourself. When it comes to talking to your children about their body, their gender and their sexuality the stakes seem increasingly high.
And, while you might be looking for the best formula for sharing a Biblical worldview, let’s start the conversation with a strong foundation about what your body reveals and why your body matters.
In this series, we will unpack a solid foundation and understanding of theology of the body. This understanding provides a framework for a foundation to support you as you teach your children a valuable dialogue that goes beyond a “sex talk” or a “puberty talk.”
Let’s be informed so we can form our children’s hearts and minds about their body, their gender and their sexuality in a way that helps them navigate their own journey and also be a light in the world.
