Episode 43-How Intentionality Crushes Anxiety With Guest Nichole Suvar Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles And Understanding Teens With Paige Clingenpeel podcast

39:54

*Trigger Warning* This episode mentions complex psychological disorders, sexual abuse, sexual trauma, and other adult themes. Listener discretion is advised. In today’s episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Dr. Shannae Anderson. Dr. Shannae is a licensed clinical psychologist and is currently the Clinical Director at Monarch Recovery Intensive Outpatient Program in Ventura, California, and Director of Psychology and Co-Director of Ethics and Advocacy at the American Association of Christian Counselors. Paige and Dr. Shannae discuss the markers that can point to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), how attachment disorders in infancy and childhood can indicate a future diagnosis, and, ultimately, how God has designed our brain to rewire itself and heal with professional guidance and healthy relationships. Paige’s Takeaways We can still heal from a poor attachment from childhood This does require other people: professionally trained counselors or wise individuals who have navigated this on their own successfully. Let others speak into you to help you grow and heal. It’s okay to make mistakes - but repair is necessary As parents, mistakes will happen! The important thing is how we resolve the mistake with our kids. Go to them. Apologize (be specific), assure them that you will work to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and ask for forgiveness. Communicate clearly: Let your yes be yes, and your no be no When navigating relationships with someone difficult/toxic, etc., mean what you say! Whatever boundaries you make with this individual, stand firm. The more consistent you are with keeping your word, the better for your relationship. Doing this also models to your children how to stick to their word and stand their ground as they navigate their own relationships and convictions.

Episode 65-Brain Breaks, Self-Regulation, and Success For Your Child with Dr. Kelly Cagle 39:41

hace 19 días39:41

39:41

What if parenting focused on teaching our children self-regulation? Imagine if they knew how to advocate for themselves and understood the unique ways they learn best. In today’s episode, Paige welcomes Dr. Kelly Cagle, host of the Parenting IQ podcast, author of God's Promises as Waves , and devoted mom to three boys: Levi, Titus, and Micah, alongside her husband, Josh. Holding a PhD in Education, Dr. Kelly is passionate about guiding parents to turn everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities, equipping their children with both the heart and mind to thrive as lifelong learners. This is an encouraging and impactful conversation for parents with all school-aged (or soon-to-be school-aged) children. Paige’s Takeaways During different seasons, certain things deserve a no, (even if they’re good things). Filter and focus! If it’s not part of the vision, filter it out. Your child needs time to REST and CREATE. Take a brain break! Physically remove yourself from your task to reset your brain. Move your body! Stretch, do jumping jacks, run stairs, etc. Teach your child to recognize their body cues. Kid have the wiggles? Let them know they can get up and dance, move around, and reset their body. Teach them how to advocate for this need, especially in a school setting. E.g. Go to the teacher and kindly ask if they can move/stretch in the back of the class during lessons so they can focus better. Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?

Episode 64-Loving Your Children into Becoming with guest Nirup Alphonse 50:58

hace 26 días50:58

50:58

On today’s episode of Embracing Your Season , Paige welcomes Nirup Alphonse, lead pastor of LIFEGATE Church in Denver, devoted husband, and father of four boys. Nirup delivers a powerful message on parenting, emphasizing the importance of leading children toward their God-given identity. He challenges parents to go beyond raising independent kids and instead nurture humility - teaching them to recognize their role in shaping others and to take ownership of their lives. Paige and Nirup dig into formation through Godly discipleship, how studying our kids makes us better parents, and how orienting our family rhythms on Christ helps combat the passive (yet powerful) “discipleship” of culture. Paige’s Takeaways What are we orienting your family around? Even in the busiest seasons, keep returning to the rhythm of putting Jesus at the center of your family. When your family knows why Jesus is the focal point, you go through your days at a different speed and with a new perspective. Implement a family rhythm This can look like any number of things but maybe it’s implementing a family Sabbath or adding family devotions before or after school - the point is to keep to a rhythm that grounds your family and helps to keep you oriented on Christ. Love your kids into becoming Kids will make foolish decisions, but that is NOT their identity. Highlight their God-given identity, and address them by calling out who God has designed them to be. Deconstruct the culture in real-time While this takes work, we need to be dedicated as parents to ask our kids about the messages they see through media, peers, at school, etc., consistently. If we avoid these conversations, we’re allowing the world to disciple our kids. Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?

Episode 63-Spiritual Warfare and Equipping Your Children with guest Gina Burns 42:37

hace 5 weeks42:37

42:37

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places . - Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) Discussing Spiritual Warfare (SW) isn’t the most comfortable topic for the modern-day Christian. We like our “spiritual forces of evil” to be metaphorical rather than literal. Yet, the Bible is clear that we are in a battle against a very real Satan and very real principalities - so, how do we fight? Today, Paige is joined by Gina Burns, the founder and director of Praying Wives & Mothers Ministries, the founder and director of a homeless ministry called The Blessed Portion along with her husband, and a mother who has been doing Spiritual Warfare ministry for 15 years. Gina breaks down SW and how it can affect all the areas in our lives. By paying attention to the subtle ways the enemy sneaks in, we can stand firm in the authority given by Christ and teach our children how to guard themselves as they grow. Paige’s Takeaways Spiritual Warfare is anything contrary to the Word of God. We have the authority. Guard your heart, guard your mind. Be on alert for doors that you may inadvertently leave open for the Enemy to come in and find a foothold. Ephesians 1: All the spiritual blessings of Jesus have been given to us!! Normalize conversations on this topic with your kids. Start simply by asking: How can I pray for you today? How has the enemy been messing with you lately? Remind them that they have a God who loves them, who is always with them, who hears their prayers, and who has appointed them with the authority of the Holy Spirit.

Where does God’s goodness fit when we’re confronted with grief? How do we grapple with the command to “be of good cheer” (John 16:33) when life is a daily struggle? Today’s guest, Dr. Curt Thompson has made it his life’s work to understand how God sees us, knows us, loves us, and welcomes us into His arms, even in the midst of unimaginable grief. With great authenticity and vulnerability, Dr. Curt shares with Paige how God is waiting for us to invite Him into our grief and pain, to sit with us, comfort us, and bring the hope of heaven into our hearts. Curt Thompson, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist, author, speaker, and co-host of The Being Known Podcast. He has been in private practice for over 30 years in Falls Church, Virginia and is married with two adult children. Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?

What can we do as parents to strengthen our kids spiritually before they leave the home? On this week’s episode of Embracing Your Season , Paige Clingenpeel welcomes back international speaker, author, and Christian apologist, Alex McFarland. Together, Paige and Alex discuss who has the most influence on your kids as they grow, the importance of intentional family time (including meals together whenever possible), confronting and adjusting our priorities, and how prioritizing spiritual growth in your marriage has a lasting impact on your kids as they mature. Paige’s Takeaways Prioritize your marriage Engage in spiritual practices with your spouse: Praying, discussing the sermon you heard at church together, devotions - these are lifegiving practices for your marriage AND a model that your children learn from. Set a new standard of priorities in your family Don’t allow the world to dictate your schedule! Even if you can’t do family meals as often as you’d like, set aside time to connect with each of your kids. Allow for conversation and dialogues with your kids about their spiritual walk Make sure your kids know that they are allowed to ask questions about who God is, and what the validity and historical context are for stories in the Bible (and if you don’t know the answer - that’s even better! Find them together!) Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?

Episode 60-Finding Marriage Intimacy in Busy Seasons with guest Brooke Sellhorn 42:08

hace 8 weeks42:08

42:08

Every marriage has busy seasons and any parent will tell you that when you add kids to the mix, things get next-level crazy. Between sleep deprivation, a messy home, financial strains, and overstimulation, it can seem like you and your spouse are ships passing in the night, barely acknowledging that each of you is taking on water! How do you keep connecting with this person you vowed to love til death do you part? Today, Paige welcomes Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Brooke Sellhorn to talk about this complicated season. Brooke currently serves as the Clinical Director of the Counselor Education Program at Purdue University-Fort Wayne and is a wife and mother of 4 young children - so she knows what she’s talking about! Grab a snack and hide in the closet if you need to: this is a conversation that sees you in this crazy season! Paige’s Takeaways Talk about what assumptions you’re bringing into your marriage and parenting life! Remember that the assumptions and the narrative you build in your mind are not necessarily true! Talk with your spouse: Ask questions, change your assumptions, and think hard about whether the internal narrative you’ve created is true. Add buffer time! When you are intentional about setting aside time to connect with Jesus (maybe it’s 5AM, maybe it’s 10:30PM), your spouse, and your children - it can be completely transformational for you and for those relationships. We have to find community! There are so many life-giving experiences when we allow other people to speak into our lives and to spend time with our families. If you don’t have a community yet, start asking God for new connections. It could be in a MOPS group, a local church, or an art class at your local library - take the first step and trust that God will bring new friendships along the way.

Be intentional with your time, your health, and with your money. Focus on choices that have eternal perspective and value.

When you interact with your kids and they have an attitude, take a step back mentally and emotionally and remember that their reaction to you most likely has nothing to do with your interaction. When you remain calm and curious about what may be going on, you can get to the core of the issue (but it may take some time!).

Episode 58-Navigating Emotionally Destructive Relationships with guest Leslie Vernick 38:33

hace 11 weeks38:33

38:33

In today’s episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Leslie Vernick. Leslie Vernick is a licensed clinical social worker, relationship coach, and author of multiple books including Emotionally Destructive Marriages , which is the primary topic of this episode. With frank honesty and deep compassion, Leslie shares her broken upbringing and how it influenced the work she does today. Together, Paige and Leslie provide insight into navigating emotionally harmful relationships, how boundary-setting is healthy and helpful, and how working on yourself is the only real way to see change in your life. Paige’s Takeaways Having firm boundaries is actually loving people well When you have love for yourself as well as love for the individual, you can instill a very rigid boundary of what is right and what is wrong - and that is healthy! You are NOT responsible for fixing them You are not and cannot be the source of their change. You can be a catalyst but change only comes from the desire of the individual and the power of the Holy Spirit. If you’re in an unhealthy relationship (family, friendship, marriage, etc.), at some point you have to grieve that they aren’t what you want or what you need. When you realize that these unhealthy relationships are not what God designed, you need the time to grieve. By taking the time to mourn, process, and heal ourselves, we are better equipped to handle the relationship (or to end it) moving forward. Biblical literacy is so important! When you dig into your own Bible, when you do the study, ask God for guidance, and seek mentorship from someone you trust, you are less likely to be emotionally manipulated by someone taking scripture out of context for their gain.

Episode 57-Making Your Marriage A Safe Haven with guest Dr. Sharon May 41:09

In today’s episode of Embracing Your Season , Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Dr. Sharon May. Dr. Sharon is an author and speaker, she holds a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Masters Degree in Theology, and is the founder and President of Safe Haven Relationship Center. Together, Paige and Dr. Sharon discuss how we can make our marriages a safe haven. From modeling self-awareness, removing negative assumptions about our spouses (and being curious instead), to purposefully taking the time to remember that you chose your spouse for a reason - there are myriad small steps we can take to move our marriage into health, strength, and a feeling of profound security. Paige’s Takeaways Remember and think about: There is a reason you chose your spouse. When we pause and remind ourselves that our spouse is our partner, our teammate, and someone we specifically chose - that can help reset the perspective of our spouse. Instead of putting meaning behind our spouse's actions or events, we can step back and approach them with curiosity and find out what their true motivation was. Instead of jumping to assumptions we can ask questions, find out what’s really going on, and find ways to authentically connect. Build trust back. When we make a mistake, how can we build back trust with our spouse? We can model self-awareness. When we can take responsibility when we’ve annoyed, angered, or disappointed our spouse, we apologize, ask for forgiveness, and ask, what do you need from me? This pattern, done with consistency, can help build back trust in your relationship. Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?

Episode 56-You’re Allowed to Ask Questions: Family and Theology with guest Jenny Randle 34:05

hace 13 weeks34:05

34:05

On today’s episode of Embracing Your Season , Paige welcomes Emmy award-winning editor, author, speaker, and ministry founder, Jenny Randle. Paige and Jenny discuss Jenny’s latest book, Flash Theology, and how to bring theology into our homes and our parenting. Jenny shares how Christians are/can be intimated by the idea of theology when in reality, it simply means the study of God. This is a practice available to anyone with a curiosity or desire to deepen their understanding of God and should not be feared! When we humble ourselves and admit that we do not know everything about who He is, we can learn, grow, and model a life of truth-seeking to our children, families, and friends. By this example, we invite our children into a real, thriving relationship with a God who is big enough to handle any question or doubt they may have. Takeaways: How can we disciple within our home? By taking each moment at a time that becomes a teachable moment! Call out when you see Jesus in them. Maybe it's an exuberant joy, maybe it’s patience and kindness with siblings - whatever it is, make sure you are speaking LIFE and TRUTH over your kids. Who has my alliance and who am I partnering with? We all have an alliance with something. In this world, we are all being discipled by something. If we aren’t intentional about our values, character, or definitions of success, we allow other things to speak into that. When we have a firm biblical view, when we want to be like Jesus, that will be a driving force behind how we shape our lives Make sure the people that you are surrounding yourself with are truth speakers and truth seekers. When you have Truth Speakers in your life, they will call you out in love, calling you to be better and holding you to a higher standard. They encourage our maturation in our walk with Christ. When you have a Truth Seeker in your life, their walk with God and pursuit of truth naturally push you to do the same. We should seek out friendships that push us to be more like Jesus.

Episode 55-What a High School Principal Wants Parents to Know with guest Cleve Million 46:23

hace 15 weeks46:23

46:23

With the addition of personal phones and laptops, social media, e-learning, and more, school education has changed. We find ourselves saying, “Back in my day…”, while our kids roll their eyes and misjudge our age by 25 years. Things are different, yes. Our kids are facing new challenges in school, yes - but what they need from us while they’re living at home hasn’t. Today, Paige is joined by Cleve Million, currently a high school principal in Fort Wayne, IN. Cleve has been an educator for 26 years, serves as an elder at his church, and is married with three kids (one just married, one in college, and one in middle school). Paige and Cleve discuss the school landscape, the after-effects of COVID-19 on our kids, and what educators really want from parents. This is an insightful and hopeful conversation about education in today’s society and how we as parents can encourage our children throughout academia. Paige’s Takeaways Speak life, identity, and truth over your kids. The words spoken over them both in school and at home have the power to dictate their future! Be mindful of what you are saying and what they are hearing from their circle of influence. Maintain an open dialogue with school administrators and teachers. Don’t brush off the opportunity to reach out if you have questions or concerns - most of the time, teachers want to be in communication with parents! Tell your kids that you love them! Don’t forget what our top priority is as parents: to let our children know that they are loved unconditionally and that they have worth and value as individuals and as God’s children. On busy days it’s easy to forget that we need to get on our kids’ level, look them in the eyes, and connect. You know how your children feel loved, so do that!

Episode 54-How to Deal with Toxic People with guest Dr. Gregg Jantz 30:55

hace 16 weeks30:55

30:55

In today’s episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Dr. Gregory Jantz. Dr. Jantz is a nationally certified psychologist, a licensed mental health counselor, the author of over 45 books, and the founder of The Center, a Top 10 Facility for Depression Treatment. Together, Paige and Dr. Jantz discuss how to identify a toxic individual and the steps we can take to instill boundaries, have compassion and gentleness in confrontation, and know when it’s time to walk away. Paige’s Takeaways If you’ve been in a negative relationship with someone for many years, you may brush off their treatment of you or make excuses for their behavior. Depending on how you grew up, you may accept this treatment as normal or suitable because you believe you aren’t worthy of anything different. In these instances, it’s important to find a trusted voice who can give you an objective opinion of this person. How do you determine the toxic person? Ask yourself (and your kids): how do you feel when you’re around this person? Do you feel relaxed, happy, and at peace? Or are you on edge or tense, does your head or stomach hurt? Pay attention to your body to help identify the people in your life who may create a more negative environment. If you start feeling like the person is speaking criticism, invalidating you, rationalizing their behavior or comments despite you bringing it up and asking them to stop, that may be a good indicator that they are an unhealthy person. When we want to see a change in a toxic person, we can’t just demand that they change their behavior! We instead can model gentleness and compassion in our request, it produces a greater chance of them listening to us as well as leading to positive behavior changes. Once you identify a toxic person: You still have power over how you interact with them. You can choose not to engage in a conversation by telling them a boundary, ie. ‘I don’t want to talk about this issue’ or you can walk away, if needed. Paige Clingenpeel Questions About the Podcast?
