Episode 79 🎙️
This week Kat Anderson @thekatanderson comes onto the podcast to chat about family, faith and schooling.
Meet Kat Anderson: Kat brings over a decade of experience in counseling and parent coaching, deeply rooted in her Christian faith. As a mother of four, she understands the daily complexities parents face and offers her wisdom on aligning one’s professional calling with personal beliefs. Her transformative journey emphasizes the importance of intentional parenting and spiritual guidance in any educational setting.
Two takeaways include:
♡ Emphasize creating an environment where children feel comfortable sharing their experiences without fear of negative reactions. This openness helps build trust and promotes spiritual growth, akin to honest dialogues with God.
♡ Make educational choices based on prayer and personal calling rather than societal pressures. Whether choosing public, private, or homeschooling, seek God’s guidance to determine the best path for your family, recognizing that each journey and calling is unique.
Overall, this week is packed with practical tips that can be applied to our daily lives with our children. It also starts with a conversation about being careful about placing judgments on others. Discernment is different. As believers, we have the gift of Holy Spirit. We are called and led differently to different spaces. We all have a unique, beautiful purpose, and that’s the same for our children, and the same for our families. Of course it will never go against God’s Truth. There are overall callings of being a Christian, that’s the same for everyone too. For example, we are called to love God, love others, and to the Great Commission, but then we also have these unique, beautiful purposes in each of our lives. How beautiful & empowering is that! Therefore, may we be mindful of blanket statements that potentially put us all “in a box.” Everyone’s life looks differently. Episode 79 encourages us all to have conversations with God for ourselves. No matter what the topic is… go to God first. He knows best. May we be faithful to where He has us, taking the next obedient step to Him. God knows best. ♡
