I grew up with 4-H and no sports till I was a senior in high school. I think I learned more life skills, teamwork and social skills than I would have from any sport, plus learning how to take care of an animal! My whole family was involved so it was very family centered and encouraged to stay that way by the 4-H structure
Scouting has been great for our kids. American Heritage Girls, and Trail Life offer amazing opportunities without losing sight of what's important.
My boys do Trail Life! We love it.
This is so timely! We homeschool also and have never put our kids on sports due to the exact reasons that you mentioned-the schedules are just ridiculous and we didn't want to consume our weekends with sports and take away from the kids' time with their dad. However our 12 year old daughter recently wanted to try basketball, so we found a league open to anyone that she joined. Her first practice was last Saturday and she was completely lost and struggled immensely. It was difficult as a parent to watch her struggle, but also knowing that she is learning some valuable lessons is making us not let her quit (which she wants to do). It's only a 5 week league and I think she will learn some good life lessons. Thanks again for this video!
My husband had a vasectomy and i would like to ask for prayers. We have had a huge conviction about it and need prayers to hear where the Lord is leading us next. If it’s to reverse it and find a good doctor or wait. i genuinely feel the Lord can still create a baby in my womb with my husband even with a vasectomy but i don’t want to “test” the Lord. We are just needing a ton of prayer.
I’ll be praying for you! My husband and I are on the fence about having one more baby or being done. It’s been weighing on us for months! My heart goes out to you and your husband! Such a complicated decision 🤍 God bless!
Currently pregnant with our reversal baby!!
I have been where you are and it’s so hard. I would encourage you to looking into the reversal sooner than later , sometimes they don’t work or it takes up to a year to work
Praying for you. God says children are a blessing and an inheritance.
@@alicardon1013 Thank you so much! If you’re on the fence i genuinely say leave it up to the Lord and pray about it. I love they created this platform to speak and opened my eyes about how to naturally prevent/ family plan. this channel has been such a gift to me 😭
@@jasminehartley9692 wow congratulations that is incredible!! so so comforting hearing stories like that ❤️ thank you for sharing
This was very thought provoking! I have not considered these things, and definitely will be. I love the idea to have your children work on a multi-year long project and for them to learn the endurance they need to finish that.
love your vulnerability! ❤ so happy to follow along with you all. i love how the Lord speaks through you both. so encouraging & refreshing!
We had our 3 daughters in soccer on Saturdays. It was a little crazy and now that I strive to keep the Sabbath holy, I wouldn’t do sports on the Sabbath again. My daughter created neighborhood basketball games for children.Those we’re fun, and we had outdoor potlucks afterwards put on by the parents.😊👫👫👫👫
Community sports doesn’t involve traveling and parents can be involved as coaches.
This was great! And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who quotes Jordan Peterson multiple times in a conversation 😅
I’m new to homeschooling. Rewarding but super tough for me. Homeschooling 3 boys (oldest 9), 1 girl in Christian school. We try to do one sport for each per season in the Fall and Spring. It’s a tough time with shuttling everyone but so needed in our home and makes a difference for them. Enjoyed your thoughts!
How did your parents deal with sports happening on the Sabbath? My husband and I have talked about maybe allowing our kids to play in leagues when they are older, but they are responsible for any and all Sabbath transportation.
I‘m kind of in the same spot as you. I have a 6 1/2 year old girl, a 4 1/2 year old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy and I am just trying to figure out what sports or music lessons or whatever to put my oldest in. My oldest two would love horse back riding, but it’s way too expensive.
The oldest already knows how to swim. She is starting school in summer (unfortunately there is no homeschooling in Germany) and I want her to have something more than just school.
They are all doing kids gymnastics, but that’s only kind of a fun activity. The trainer puts up stuff to climb or balance or swing or whatever and the parents are there and do all the stuff with their kids. So we’ll see how that goes, but very interesting what your perspective is.
LOVE YOUR PODCAST!!!
Always looking forward to it.
Blessings upon you and your family.
Keep it up ❤
Debby
P.s. Maybe you can do a podcast on pets. What’s your opinion, are you planning to have some etc.?
Please do a whole episode on not raising scoffers, I feel like this is super relevant
I’m going to go home and see myself a pencil skirt! Best closing line! 😂😂😂😂😂
So I’m a little taken aback right now and this is a very random comment. I just received Nourishing Traditions in the mail (have been hearing people rave about it for years and finally bought it because of an interview I saw on Alex Clark’s podcast). I started reading and was really into but I had this eerie feeling that kept tugging at me so I eventually just put it down. The next day I happen to look at the cover (I never looked in detail) and saw a naked woman’s breast out and realized it feels very new age to me I didn’t know why. It was really bothering me last night because I couldn’t put my finger on it but I didn’t want to pick it up again of that feeling I had. This morning I decided to look up the cover design artist and, someone please correct me if I’m wrong but…I found an article that says she’s currently working on art for a deck of tarot cards??? She’s also heavy into Indian religion and I guess Hinduism? I know there’s a lot of very good useful information in this book but I can’t in good conscience as a follower of Jesus support something that is directly supporting occult activity. I’m pretty bummed about this because I couldn’t wait to read this 😭😭😭 In this case, I WILL be throwing the baby out with the bath water lol. ❤
HELLO ❤
Im curious how old your kids are? When kids are under 10 its all normal to have these feelings but as they get older, its very good for them to be on a team and if your homeschooling a lot of that locker talk doesnt happen. Sports have taught my kids a lot about perservering and not giving up when things get hard. It also teaches kids to be active and strong. My sons have grown so much this sesson in basketball. Also, having thrm trll us where to be and schdeuling teaches kids respect and not being late. Someday, they will have a boss telling them what to do and they need to kesrn respect and not quitting.
I think their oldest is 6 or 7
I had these same reservations when my kids were that little. ❤ but things change esp when they beg to play a particular sport. I have seen so much growth having sports in our lives.@jasminehartley9692
What kind of high school basketball did you play while being homeschooled?
Homeschoolers can play on public school teams, at least in most states.
We can play public in WV and we have a full blown homeschool league that plays other homeschool leagues and private Christian schools.
We also have a full homeschool sports program where we are in Greenville, SC.
When I was homeschooled I played on the volleyball team at the local Christian school because I was also enrolled in their choir class. That is an option at many Christian schools as well.
Why like and leave comments if you only read the 1st 15?
I do have a question for anyone who is willing to offer insight. We have good Christian family friends who pay their kids money for every touchdown they make in football. They are elementary aged. I was really taken aback to learn this, and it doesn’t sit right with me at all. Any thoughts?
Not much insight but that would bother me as well. I wouldn’t agree with doing that. It’s basically adding pressure to a kid to perform a certain way and putting more expectations on them. That would not be okay with me.
@@jenAKnND I felt the same 😕
Why do you always focus on the boys? We would like to hear about your daughter occasionally
I mean they do have 4 😂😂😂
I felt led to click on this to hear if youve changed your minds on jujitsu. Please ask Holy Spirit for counsel about it but im led to believe martial arts roots are not of God. I think even your comment Katie using the word kill gave it away.
Maybe there is some truth to this, but learning to practice a martial art can be very practical as far as physical fitness and self defense. Maybe it's similar to yoga where you can benefit from gaining flexibility and stamina, but you shouldn't give it any more credence in your life than that.
There’s a lot of self defense benefits and fitness aspects.
Is it just as evil as yoga? Direct worship/ joking to Hindu deities?
