- In our increasingly digital age, it is more important than ever to make sure we are using our words to affirm and guide our children. In a world that tries to tell them who they are and what is important, it is our job as parents to encourage them toward virtue and faith. I am so pleased to bring you this conversation with Sally Clarkson. Through book writing, podcasting, and speaking, Sally uses her words to mentor a generation of young moms who want to give their children a life full of beauty, creativity, faith, and family. May you come away from this conversation with a renewed vigor for creating a verbal home that breathes life into the hearts of your children.
In this episode, we cover:
- What it means to have a verbal home and why it matters in this day and age
- How you can appoint times throughout your day, week, year to intentionally affirm your children
- Going beyond what we say and examining what is in our hearts
- Strategies for being truly present with your children and not getting sucked into distraction
- Protecting your family’s time in order to maximize opportunities for lifegiving conversation
- How prioritizing words can knit your family’s hearts together
- Considering boundaries around creating solely for your family’s benefit vs. creating to share with the world
- The importance of keeping work in its rightful place
- Getting on the same page as your spouse about the direction of your family

Lisa, I am SO happy to see your channel going in more of a Christian homemaking direction. It’s a blessing to see you wear your faith for all to see. It’s honoring to the Lord, and I pray He bless you in your faithfulness. I know not all of your audience is Christian, so you risk losing some. However, it’s evident that you are fearing the Lord and not man. ❤️ God bless you sister!
Same!
Yes! Amen!
Tears, Amen!
I always felt it had been 😄 but then I didn't grow up in Christian culture. But I found lots of Christian life themes and God and prayer mentions in podcasts.
This is the first time I've seen this channel. I typed in Sally Clarkson and clicked on this.
I am glad I did.
I have to be a better mom for my children.
I like your comment. Subscribers made be loss but what we do for The Glory of God and His Kingdom is key
Four of our children are married adult Believers. We still have a sixteen year old at home.
WORDS are so very important!! TIME is so very important!!
Spend quality time talking, hugging, sharing smiles, giving words of praise to your children, kisses, good morning songs, night time chats, and young adult counseling to your 13 and up young adults. This takes time!!
I quit all activities except church and a local homeschool group. We were home every evening for supper around the table.
Sally is correct, if we don't engage our children with the Lord, and family time, they will turn to the culture for affirmation.
I'm 55, and I've seen God's faithfulness through what we "gave-up" as parents. We lived on a modest low income, I didn't work, the children chose one short sport per year, and I didn't run to mom activities either and leave my family. What will it profit a man or woman, if we gain the whole world and lose our soul. ( Or our children's souls)💕
There are many of us who did all those things and our children still left the faith. Many many moms I know who homeschooled, lived simply, did all those things, but as young adults the culture captured them. We all still pray fervently for our young adults and continue to love and keep a good relationship, with faith that the Lord will bring them back. I think it’s good to encourage all you encouraged, it’s the best way to raise kids, but I think we need to be careful to not assume it’s a magic formula and our kids will be born again Christians if we follow the advice.
I LOVE Sally Carkson!!! Our homeschooling group traveled to her Whole Hearted Mothers conferences for years!! We watched her kids grow up. And we read Sally's books during our homeschool meetings. She is such a treasure. Our family used Our 24 Family Ways as our Bible study throughout the years. SO happy to see Sally on your podcast. She and her family are such a blessing to so many!
Oh Sally was my mentor with my 4 kiddos! I own all of her books. Our last child is graduating from college this December - Sally was my “friend” the whole way through.
So I do these with my son always. I am very verbally and physically affectionate. Always telling him how since childhood all I wanted was to be his mama. That he was and is a gift and I'm honored to be tasked to nurture and prepare him for the world. We always start the day with a mama bear hug and end it with a little cuddle and loving words. Kids need to feel loved unconditionally. Even when we have a rough moment, I repair and hug him and let him know that I love him no matter what and we reset. Mothering is the most wonderful honor and experience possible. It's hard and harder in today's cultural madness, but love them and raise them with your values and keep the family a priority and sacred. Can't imagine life without my child.
I am neither a mother or a grandmother but I just loved listening to this podcast. It was so life affirming and encouraging words so matter.
All three of my kids are in their 20s and still living at home. I so appreciate hearing from Sally in her season with her kids. So helpful! Great podcast!
Sosososo good... 14,000 people viewed this.. please like 👍.. this is such a beautifully said podcast that so many of us need. ❤️ I cannot wait to get her books. Just loving this..
Oh my gosh! You have Sally Clarkson on??!! I cannot wait to watch! I just love her.
What an encouraging conversation! Thank you so much 🤗
You are so welcome!
Glad I listened to this on my way home today. My husband just left for work, and the children are being very difficult and it is convicting as I find myself struggling to hold my tongue.
Thank you ladies for your encouragement ❤
Thanks for listening
I love this! Nothing like a Titus 2 woman sharing her wisdom. God bless Sally ❤
Sooo good lisa. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I am currently in the trenches with my family and a lot of the time our words are not always life giving. This gave me so much conviction as well as encouragement in how to have a life giving home and speak life into/over our children. Thank you and Sally for this chat ❤
Such wise, Godly advice!! Thank you for bring Sally onto your podcast.
The Jesus Storybook Bible made me cry so often!! It’s just so beautiful!
Love Sally!
I loved this podcast.Sally has been one of my mentors through her books and events she spoke at. Really lifted me up in my calling as a mom. This was encouraging, and I now have grandchildren to pour into. My gregarious husband trys to speak lifegiving words wherever he goes.
Thank you for having this podcast!! Eye opener! I do talk to my kids but not like I should. I should get to know them more. They are teenagers now and it's so easy to not spend or talk as much with them. Thank you!😊
One of my favorite podcasts!!! Thank y’all so much!! I wish every mom can hear that!!! Special. God bless you
This is my absolute favorite podcast episode, which is hard to say as they are all so rich and full of helpful, profitable information. This one, however, truly touched the heart and soul. Thank you both!
I am thinking the same thing. I love all of these podcasts, but this one is extra good! I have raised/am raising my kids this way and I've often felt like an odd parent because I won't give in to 'how things are done these days'-- choosing instead to follow my instincts of leading a home-centric life where we interact with and talk to our children all day long. Hearing this podcast makes me realize that others are raising their children in a similar way.
Thank you so much Lisa for having Sally Clarkson!! I had never heard of her and I am just amazed by her Christian wisdom!! I really what to get her books:)!! 💜💜
Yes ! Make it about the table ! It is so important
I love that you asked such good questions and appreciated her input, Lisa. She does have a lot of wisdom. I feel like a lot of older women do, but a lot of younger women don’t seek out a real live mentor, someone who has walked the path before. Whether it is your own mother, a wise woman from church, neighbor, etc. God gave us older women to include in our lives (not just ones we see on the internet or read about in books). There are a lot of older women with a lot of great insights to share and they are waiting for you to ask them to coffee, or come and talk while you fold clothes! Or call and talk with them on the phone. Great interview!! ❤️
Hello Lisa,
I am a 65 year old mother of 3, and a grandmother of 6, and I found this interview so important, for all stages of motherhood. Sound biblical advice for mother's of all ages. I plan on ordering a copy of your guests book book for myself and one as Christmas present for our daughter.
Long time Clay and Sally Clarkson fan! Love “Educating the Whole Hearted Child!” Always great wisdom! Thanks!!
❤Love the wisdom of Sally Clarkson! For sure “Life and death are in the power of the tongue! “ “Make sure the priorities that you choose are the priorities that matter.” ~Sally Clarkson
25:00 What I'm getting out of this moment is don't blame the device learn how to manage your time well and discipline yourself. Thank you for sharing
Love! Love! Love! I was already a fan of Sally, couldn't believe she was talking with you! Two of my favorite together!!!!
Mom of 8 , grandma of 6 …. Homeschooler … farm mama …. Busy life …but I remember saying ‘ let me see your brown eyes ‘ …. It teaches a good habit and communication skills .
Two of my favorite people to listen to in one place!! I’m so excited to listen to this!
Woohoo! Your joined by Sally! She is a gem 💗. I've been waiting for her new book! I struggle with useing the words well in our home culture as well.
I love how you made this a coaching session! Amazing podcast!
Such a good episode!!
Probably my favorite so far!!
So timely for my life right now!!
It seems we need to be training the older children so they could step in and carrying on the chores. This way it gives Mama time with her babes. The alternative is the older child is spending more time and influence with the younger children.
Royalty of homeschooling in the house!!💗
Just SO beautiful, fruitful and glorifying of GOD with the wisdom of JESUS chock full in there to promote a return to Christian family values. SO enjoyed this. Thankyou so very much. 🥰
I have passed this on to my Connect Women Group.
❤😇❤
So awesome that you were able to have sally Clarkson on!
Play with your children and rest on the Sabbath and keep it holy❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕
Wow. The thought of telling your child you're so grateful for them each night made my eyes tears up. Such a simple thing that could shape a little humans ENTIRE life. I am not a Mom yet, but I'd love to do this with my Husband. Thank you for sharing!
Wahoo-two of my favourite influences on one page!!!
Sally is such an encouragement to do many Mom's. Thank you for sharing her with us.
This episode was so convicting and encouraging at the same time! So, so good!!!!
Thank you for this fabulous sincere conversation on being a conscious reflective parent
Hi Lisa! I like Sally. but lisa, you have influenced me a lot, raising kids, good marriage, and simple and beautiful home making. I must say Huge thank you to you, your content and your family!
I disagree a bit with Sally. She said she didn’t want to get famous because of the exposure of kiddos. I totally disagree. I mean, for those people like me, who likes you and appreciate your lifestyle, it does good thing to the kids. I have two daughters, younger than ruthie and Johanna. They always play pretend and called themselves Ruthie and Johanna, who sews, decorates, and cook. They are happy to see other girls like them help around the house. It’s beautiful! Truly beautiful! I said Thanks so many times to Lisa inside my heart when I saw the beauty of home making which you’ve encouraged me. So, lisa, you have done beautiful work!
I have loved this so much, please share more of these kind of videos/podcasts!
I knew I loved you, Lisa!!! Sally is my absolute favorite in the season of life I’m in!! ❤❤️
Thank you for this episode!!
This was so great, convicting, encouraging, and full of love! Thank you, Lisa!
This was my favorite podcast so far! My heart strings have been touched so much! Love the wisdom ❤
Wow this episode is so convicting! Thank you!!
I love this podcast so much! Thank you, Lisa, for showcasing your Christian faith with Sally. Her books have transformed my mothering and homemaking, as have your videos. I was so excited to see this collab and it did not disappoint! ❤️
LOVE Sally Clarkson!!
Oh wow! Didn’t know you had a second channel, Lisa!! How exciting! I adore Sally Clarkson, I just wish I had found her when my kiddos were little. They are all grown now!
Curious if anyone knows if she has written a book on cultivating relationships with our adult children?
Great information at any age of your children‼️
Loved this podcast! So many words of wisdom from Sally and encouragement. My youngest two children are adolescents and it's do easy to not be as "hands on" as when they were younger. I definitely want to read her books!😊💖

I loved this! Sally Clarkson has been such a blessing to me.

Hello Lisa and Sally!!!
Thank you both for taking the time and investing in Mothers and families!! This message was such a blessing to my heart and soul!! I won't give all the details on how much I needed this now but "Thank you"!!!

Hands down the best, most helpful Sally Clarkson interview I’ve ever heard. I’ve listened to Sally for many years and love her books. But Lisa, you asked the questions I’ve been *really* wanting to know for the past few years! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great episode, thank you.
Hi Lisa
I being watching your Chanel but never subscribed .
I love the content you broth today .
So precious to see young and older women sharing wisdom , life lessons and faith so inspiring .
God bless you and your family .
This was my very favourite episode! Thank you for bringing her on your podcast.
This has blessed me immensely and I know will in turn, bless my family. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel. I needed to hear this enlightening discussion, especially from a Godly perspective.
I loved this podcast! Two of my favorite podcasts in one!
Such a wonderful video! Thank you! I shared this with my daughter who is currently homeschooling her eight year old and loving it!
Some notes:
When children replay what they hear in their heads, they might hear what we said to them… that’s why it’s important to tell them blessings…which helps form them and breathe light into them as adults…. God can use parents as these good tools. We can be intentional to do this daily. It needs to dwell in our hearts starting with what we do with our personal time.
Whatever we rehearse inside of ourselves is what our children are drawing from.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Such wisdom!!!!
What a beautiful podcast!! Thank you for sharing this content ❤ God Bless ❤🙏🏻
This is SO timely! So excited!
Amazing chat! I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for all the ideas Sally!!
Absolutely my favorite interview that you have conducted. So much wisdom, depth, wonderful things I plan to implement and I can't wait to order her book
I love sally! This was a wonderful interview! She’s such an inspirational person!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Wonderful podcast! So many of the things talked about are so needed today.
A wonderful conversation ❣️
When ya'll were talking about the pizza and taking a photo, my thought was while you were photographing it, it got cold...and the moment was lost. Love this episode. We are selfish in wanting you to share it all with us.
I loved this❤
I really needed to hear this podcast. I feel so convicted, but liked what you said Lisa, "Encouraging". Trying to look at that more than the shame of not being good at this. Thank you for this... 💙
❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing this
My mother was a word-speaker. Her words she has spoken over me my whole life still ring in my heart. She now has Alzheimer’s. Her smile and eyes now tell me the words she longs to say to me. Wise words spoken give life, value, belonging, and love. If there is nothing else that I do right in my mothering, I want my son to remember the words I speak to him every night as he is going to bed. I pray my words have the same heart-changing effect on him as my mother’s did on me.
I have also been purposing to leave my phone in another room most of the day so our school time, reading time, cooking time, and talking time can be more focused. That is a true struggle, but I have been so convicted about that lately. Our time with our children is so fleeting! This was one of my favorite podcasts ever. Thank you both for this blessing.
This was a great and mush needed conversation. Thank you both❤️❤️❤️
This was great. Thank you!!
Loved this!
This was so inspiring & wonderful! Ty so much. 💓
So glad!
This was so lovely to listen to! How encouraging. I’ll need to get her book!
This was super. Thank you lots ladies.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was wonderful! Thank you!
