Help! I'm A Children's Pastor

This week we’re keeping it real with the stories that make MMD moments the little miracles that they are. Those dealing with depression, bi-polar or anxiety will appreciate this.

This episode we’re catching up on a week and a half of MMD’s: Stressing over Sonic, a $200 mistake, a pleasant thank you, getting a library card so the kids could get books, making Harry Potter wands… and my son’s reaction when I gave him one.

This week we’re celebrating not having to go to the Price is Right Live, teasing my son about being adopted, and playing Monopoly with the kids for the first time.

This week we’re going to talk about Valentine’s Day, adoption, name changes, and how it all fits together. [podcast-connect]

This week we celebrate: Spilling my guts at church; Realizing I have a Ward; Having Donovan on That Story Show; Dinner at Culvers instead of being at church; Guesting on slant.fm podcast; and my daughter stealing water at Target.

This week we’re kicking anxiety’s butt with the following moments: Setting up an appointment to guest-host a podcast. Talking about how bad “Don’t Blink” stunk after church. Going to see an old church building and wondering about church demons. Helping an 8th grader with homework. Having my efforts appreciated. A new theme for NLCast.com. My friend letting me out of a commitment so that I could then come back. Fighting a kid. My son drawing Harry Potter characters. My daughter putting dumb clothes on my dumb dog.

Part two of our look at proper discipline in the home is what God expects from parents and kids both. Lot’s of scriptures in this one… and a ton of common sense. [podcast-connect]

If last episode was a survey of proper discipline, this episode is an in detail look at what discipline is, what it’s not, why it’s important, how to establish rewards and consequences as well as an introduction of the consequence ladder and a review of the behavior diagram so you know when to punish and when to reward.
