 MBFLP – Romance Once You’ve Got Kids | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 29:41

Romance Once You've Got Kids It's Valentine's Day this week, and for parents with small children, no money for a sitter, and no relatives nearby, the response might be "So what?" It can be discouraging when the world is full of ads urging dinner out, expensive jewelry, and barrels of roses, when your life is more about diapers and phonics, and your budget is more of the dollar menu and less of filet mignon. This episode, we talk about finding romance in real life, wherever it may be - and sometimes, it will surprise you where it can be found!

 MBFLP – Millennials, Church, and Family | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:53

Studies and research on the Millennial Generation, those in their twenties and thirties now, can pretty disturbing. Indications are this group of young adults is moving away from their parents' values and institutions in ways we haven't seen since the sixties -- and in some areas, making a radical shift in the nation's culture. What does this mean for Christian homeschooling parents? Can we gain insight into our parenting and educational process by looking at the results of the families just ahead of ours? You may be surprised at what we learned from the Gen2 Survey released at the Gen2 Conference in late January!

 MBFLP – Dealing With The Prodigal Child | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:06

It's a Christian parent's nightmare - the child who walks away from the family and the faith they were taught. Is there anything we can do but wait and pray? Carol Barnier, author of Reaching Today's Prodigal, was that child herself, and in this riveting interview she shares what brought her back to Christ and how parents facing a rebellion in their family can take hope - and practical steps - for an eventual return.

 MBFLP – Teaching Kids Respect and Obedience | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:12

It's one of our "frequently asked questions" - How in the world can I get my kids to obey? How do you teach them respect? And it's not just because obedient kids are agreeable - we know it's important for their safety, and it's Biblical. This episode, we talk about how to teach these important traits in a balanced, loving way that adapts to our child's developing maturity ... because our goal is not to raise obedient children, but adults of mature, godly character!

 MBFLP – Handling Flu Season With Grace | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:34

It's not just cold and flu season - this year's battle with influenza is worse than usual. How do you deal with the challenge of sickness at home while homeschooling? Does your response to sickness show your faith or cast doubt on it? How does love for the brethren enter into your family's handling of illness? We've had everything from sinusitis to cancer - join us as we share some of what God's taught us! References James 1:2 - My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience ... Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

 MBFLP – Getting Back On Track After The Holidays | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:58

Whew, that was busy! The season from Thanksgiving to Christmas is overwhelming enough when it's not as short as this year's calendar made it. Now we're safely past New Year's and if you're like us, it's time to get the train out of the ditch and back on the rails. This episode we talk about what we've done to get 2015 rolling! Resources We Mention "Be Encouraged" Conference - Tampa (Brandon), Florida - January 24, 2015 "Why You Ought To Persevere" when you're discouraged homeschooling "A New New Year's Tradition" about our annual family reviews and brainstorming sessions "Counting Our Days" about our family journals

 MBFLP – Keeping Your Kids Safe Online | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:50

For many families, Christmas is the time they update their smart phones, unwrap a new laptop, or add a phablet to the home network. Once, concerned parents were told, "Keep the computer in the family room and turn the screen where everybody can see it." That's not enough to prevent mischief online any more, since more and more of us - and our children - can reach out and touch the Internet from nearly any electronic device in the house. And studies are showing more and more children are being exposed to porn online, younger and younger. What can a parent do? Is a filter or blocking program going to be effective? Or is there a way to teach your kids to be wise and discerning in the wide unfiltered world ... which may be as close as your purse or pocket? Join us as Hal talks again with Luke Gilkerson, the Educational Resources Manager for Covenant Eyes, about a way to both protect your kids and train them up for the battle for personal integrity and purity!

 MBFLP – Talking To Your Kids About Sex | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:59

It's a difficult thing for most parents - gathering the courage to have "The Talk" with our children. Why can't we just wait until they're more grown up? Can't we shield them from the sexualized culture so they can stay innocent until they're adults? How in the world do we even start the conversation? This episode, Hal talks with Luke Gilkerson, the Educational Resource Director for Covenant Eyes, a ministry dedicated to teaching and protecting a Biblical view of sex, purity, and personal integrity. You won't want to miss this one --

 MBFLP – Hope Auer Interview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:57

This episode our guest is Hope Auer. She's the author of the award-winning novel A Cry From Egypt which she began when she was just a 13-year-old homeschool student. Now in her early twenties, Hope has already won Book of the Year for her first novel, which has been selected as part of three curriculum programs, adapted it for radio drama (which she directed with a cast of more than fifty), and completed the second book in the projected series. It's a fun conversation about the process of writing and becoming a published author, but more importantly about communicating God's truth in a way that touches hearts.

 MBFLP – Saving Money At Christmas | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:45

It's the most commercial time of the year, the Christmas shopping season. For some businesses, the sales for these few short weeks make up for months of sluggish economy. For many of us, though, our own personal economy isn't ready for big spending ... as much as we might like to! This episode, we talk with Candy Foote of "Strategic Shopping" about fun, creative, and low-cost ways to enjoy the season while still putting gifts around the tree -- and not running up the credit cards. You don't want to miss this one!

 MBFLP – Choosing Meaningful Gifts for the Family | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 28:37

We like the whole giving-and-receiving tradition of Christmas because it celebrates God's greatest gift - His Son, bringing His grace -- and face it, it's just fun! But sometimes we get discouraged at not just the commercialization of the holiday, but how thoughtless and mechanical that gift buying can become. This episode we'll talk about how you make this tradition more meaningful for the giver and the receiver alike.

 MBFLP – Getting Along With Extended Family At The Holidays | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:53

We all have them - people we love too much to ignore, but can really make a holiday gathering awkward. The ones who ask your homeschooled kids wouldn't they rather ride the nice yellow school bus, or the ones who poke the new father in the ribs and ask "Don't you know what causes that?", or the ones who turn Thanksgiving into mudslinging and family worship into comedy hour. Sometimes they're even members of our family! The Bible says, "As much as it depends on you, be at peace with all men," yet we may find ourselves quietly praying, "How long, O Lord?"  This episode, we'll tackle how to handle the challenges of "extended family" time with grace, dignity, and maybe a bit of humor as well.

 MBFLP – When There’s Sickness In The House | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:26

The traditional wedding vows promise to be faithful “in sickness and in health,” but often that’s not just the illness of the husband or wife–and not something to be treated with over-the-counter products. How do you manage a family and home when illness and injury strike? What do you do when a family member has surgery, cancer, high risk pregnancy or birth defects? This week, we talk about some practical ways to think about illness and how to keep the family moving through it, and we’re joined by our son Caleb who’s been through several medical challenges himself.
