Do you feel frozen by the fear of making a mistake? Or are you ready to step forward into everything God is calling you?

How to Bring Closure to Your Year

We find ourselves at the very beginning of the New Year, and with that, the wonderful ability to start afresh. But before you rush into 2023, charging full steam ahead, it’s important to step back and reflect on the year that was.

Today on At Home with the Beveres, join Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa as they share the three C’s that will help us bring closure to this last year so we can step fully into the new one: clarify, close, and celebrate!

When Family is Messy (Christmas Edition)

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 12:00:00 +0000

For most of us, the Christmas season means quality (and quantity) time with family!

Family can bring so much joy—but it can also surface pain, resentment, and grief, among other unwanted challenges to the holiday season.

Whether you’re hosting your extended family or traveling to visit familiar places and faces, it can be tough to navigate contentious family dynamics.

On this episode of At Home with the Beveres, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa give you specific tools to help you grow through family mess rather than revert to ways of the past.

This episode will equip you to let things go, practice forgiveness, and show honor where it’s hardest to give.

How to Build Trust with Your Kids

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 5 Dec 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Disclaimer: This podcast includes age-sensitive conversations and is rated M for mature.

When it comes to raising our children, many things feel out of our control. When will they first learn about porn or sexting? When will they first discover swear words and inappropriate language? What about drugs? And then there's the whole conversation on gender and identity. The list goes on.

The destructive things of this world will at some point present themselves to our children in one way or another. As parents who want to raise godly kids, we play a crucial role in preparing our children to handle the realities of our modern world.

Join Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa as they discuss creating an atmosphere of trust where your kids feel comfortable coming to you with the confusing issues they encounter, rather than feeling left on their own to navigate them.

How to Avoid Raising Fearful Kids

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 15:38:28 +0000

As parents, we all walk a fine line between setting healthy, helpful boundaries with our kids and being over-protective, helicopter parents.

Naturally, each of us wants to keep our kids from repeating the mistakes we made. If we're not careful, this can lead to a parenting style driven by fear. And fear, as you may know, is a terrible counselor. It also provides a horrible example to follow. Fearful parents raise fearful kids. How do we as parents break fear's grip on our own lives so we can raise children who aren't terrified to take appropriate levels of risk?

Today, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa will lend you their personal experience with the hope that you can leave some fearful parenting habits in the past. May this episode equip you as a parent to train your kids well rather than trapping them in your own fears.

To Shelter or Not to Shelter? How to Protect Your Kids.

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 7 Nov 2022 11:00:00 +0000

If you’re a millennial you may have grown up with the word “sheltered” coming with a negative stigma. Many parents, in an effort to “protect” their children, end up creating all sorts of rules and boundaries that end up stifling their kids rather than protecting and preparing them.

We’re living in a day and age where most parents feel that no matter what they choose to do—or not to do—the world will inevitably be pushed on their children.

Today, on At Home with the Beveres, we’re taking a fresh look at what it means to “shelter” your kids. Whether you have strongly defined boundaries in your home or you lean toward the free-flowing end of the spectrum, this conversation with Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa will provide plenty of food for thought on the subject!

What We Wish We Had Known (part 2)

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 15:59:42 +0000

Do you ever feel like it’s “too late” for you to parent up to your potential? Or do you feel that you’ve made too many parental mistakes to fully recover from?

This week on At Home with the Beveres, we answer some of our most frequently asked questions. Addison, Juli, John, & Lisa share some of their parental woes with transparency, giving some keen insights on what they would have done differently in retrospect.

Experience truly is the best teacher—but its lessons can come at a high price. In this episode, learn from their experience—the successes and the setbacks—on how to set the tone in your home!

What We Wish We Had Known (part 1)

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 15:38:03 +0000

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone told you how to avoid their parenting mistakes and familial woes?

Although we wish we could snap our fingers and give you all the answers, there’s no way of telling the future. But what we can do is help you learn from our mistakes.

This week on At Home with the Beveres, we openly discuss what we wish we had known back then that we know now. We pray that these lessons will save you from the same pitfalls and help you set up your homes for success.

So, buckle up as we dive into a two-part series on how to set the tone in your home!

Debunking the “Perfect Family” Myth

podcasts@messengerinternational.org (Messenger International) — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 22:27:21 +0000

Five years ago, people were asking us things like, “How should I study the Bible?” or “How do I write a book or prep a sermon?” But now people are asking us things like… “How do I live?… How do I maintain love in marriage?… How do I position my children to love God?… How do I finish well?”

The topics surrounding family are endless, but today we want to talk about how to reset and begin again when you feel like you haven’t done it well.

Today’s podcast gives you insights on how to get back up after a tough season. You’ll see that God measures us not by how many times we fall, but by how many times we get back up. Join us (John, Lisa, Addison, and Juli) as we demystify the “perfect family” myth and equip you to keep going and growing.
