- Nearly every mother experiences fear throughout her parenting journey. As Jennifer and I discuss in this episode, there are often new fears that emerge at every stage of parenthood. We may fear failing our kids or fear for their safety, but the reality is that fear creates a suffocating environment in our homes. As a long-time homeschooling mother of seven, Jennifer shares her journey of recognizing the impact of fear on her family and how she used the power of story to overcome it. This is such a rich, grace-filled conversation meant to encourage you as you fight fear and embrace joy in your mothering.
In this episode, we cover:
How fears in motherhood change from season to season
The most common sources of our fears as mothers
Transforming our families by exchanging the power of fear for the power of joy
Using the power of story of overcome fears
The gifts we give our children by prioritizing reading aloud as a family
Creating an environment in which our kids can pursue their unique interests
Reconnecting to our own passions and interests in the midst of mothering
How mothers can model a life of joy in our homes
What to read and how to create time for reading aloud

For me, taking the Biblical truth that God didn’t give us a spirit of fear and applying that into actual life means acknowledging who did give me that spirit of fear (the enemy) and what door he used to access my mind. Close the door and flee from the door. Then the next time the enemy opens the door to cause fear in you again, you aren’t there you have fled and the fear has no entry. We must take every thought captive! Thank you Lisa!
So excited to listen to this. I love that you invite people from other platforms that people like myself may not know about. They are all so informative and it shows that your channel is focused on the content and not just popularity. Thank you ladies.
I listen to The Little House series on RUclips this summer, and it has changed my life! I reference it all the time, it is so inspirational!
Ohhhh I love Jennifer and The Peaceful Press nature guides!
What a wonderful chat to listen to with a cup of coffee on a cold morning. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a beautiful family culture is developed through read alouds. My kids have a whole sibling language because of the beautiful books we have read. And just to mention that audio books are an amazing resource. I have trouble reading aloud, it drains me. But scrib'd has wonderfully read books of all genres. We have read so many books just on the trips to and from town.
Yes!! I was about to say social media! That makes my heart hurt to see mothers who do “so many other things” than I do, and it’s like wow! What if my kids aren’t happy. What if I’m screwing up my kids life?!?
Loved this so much! I read her book this summer and was so encouraged by it. This interview made me want to re-read it!
Fears don't end. Adult children bring fears too. Even when they've left home. Here is where you really discover the impact of your child raising and what you wished you'd done different and what you're thankful you did the way you did.
Beautiful episode! Thank you for sharing Lisa! So many biblical and soul refreshing takeaways!
You are so welcome!
Great conversation, loved listening to this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you this was so helpful! How did or does Jennifer make videogames not fun for her kids lol. I'd love to hear an example for my own benefits.
I haven't done a good job of this with my 9 year old. I'm hoping it's not too late to develop a love of reading..
Do you guys think it is?
NEVER too late to start reading aloud!
Strewing would come in hand for free time i bet
From the outset, beautiful discussions. Listening while I am on a wholesale delivery 🚚 run in Oz ! 🦘
