Gratitude is not something that a child is inherently born with. We live in a world where the cultural norms is always shouting, "strive for more". New Year Resolutions shout the concept of, "accomplish more than last year". Vision boards are decorated with extravagant photos of the next big house, the next grandest vehicle, the newest trends in clothing. The same clothing that you know if you could just get your hands on you'd be regarded as a success; finally on the right path of "adulthood". How are we supposed to raise our children with a humble, grateful heart when societal norms tell us to ignore the small victories so that we can swiftly move onto the greater and bigger things, most of the time ignore the very blessing in front of us?

Another week, another podcast. This week we explore what it means to be asked of your opinion, or to insinuate that your opinion is wanted/ needed. What does God say about our opinions? When do we actually have merit to speak our minds, or do we really ever have that merit? Our flesh always wants to be heard while are spirit should always be quick to listen, and slow to speak...that is, if the situation is called for a response. Join us as we talk about every day life, easy daily practices and commonly shared convictions on the topic.

On December 7, 2025 at 9:32 p.m., our cherished fan and number one listener, also my Mom and Brittany's Nana passed from this world to Heaven. It was such a hard time for our family but in the midst of horrible grief, we found God never stood at a distance, that lamenting is a biblical form of prayer, that God does not delight in our suffering. Join us as we talk about grief and losing our loved one and also to hear some coping mechanisms we have found helpful. Mom, we love you and we thank you for sharing your transition from this World to Heaven. Thank you for letting us know that death is the easy part, that we are not meant for this world.

From the podcast, thank you for an awesome spirit filled 2025 where we were able to see miracles like Baby JJ. Thank you God for so many who have come to give their lives to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. We wish you a very Happy New Year. And thank you for coming to fellowship and grow with us.

The much awaited Q&A with Taylor regarding the miraculous healing of Baby JJ is here! Cannot think of a better way to close out Season 7! It can be very easy to worship and praise God when everything is going well, but what happens when you truly have to put your trust in God... when your child's life is the hands of man, when the term "God's will shall be done" and you aren't sure what that will look like? Taylor's testimony is a true testament of how God's glory can be magnified in all situations, but especially during uncertainty. Thank you again, Taylor, for being raw and transparent with the Raising Up Christian Family!!

Stay Blessed! XO Britt and Heather

Is it just me or is life feeling heavier and heavier? Has the world become more evil or is it merely the fact that we all know about "Breaking News' within the hour due to our smart phone devices and social media? It is easy to become a slave to knowledge, but what happens when even the knowledge is questionable....Now that social media is readily available, and literally any one, at any time can post as they please, labeling it as "factual", what in fact do we have at hand? Knowledge or wrongful/ false ideas? In a world of uncertainty, we must rely on the truth of God. God created us to be quiet, to be still and know. Are we practicing what God calls us to do?

The highly requested and sought after, bone rattling testimony of God's goodness is now Live. Listen to the amazing testimony of Taylor's baby boy JJ, born without a heart rate, parents challenged with the unthinkable decision to either prepare to say goodbye to their baby in this life, or to fight for the life of their child that experts and doctors had warned was already lost, looking to God, believing that He is Jehovah Rapha and Jehovah Jireh. Join us as we get to relive the most terrifying, gut-wrenching, miraculous, earth-shattering, healing moments of Taylor's life as God promises healing, and bringing their precious baby home, healed and healthy.

We have entered into a world of lukewarm Christians and Revelation 3:15-16 talks about the fact that lukewarm is not a Christian at all. We discuss the many ways we can combat the lukewarm moments. We discuss scripture that can help us be "on fire" for God. If someone were to follow you throughout the day, would they see the light of Jesus or would they see the sin of the world? How we treat others matters. How we treat Quiet moments matter too. Be quick to repent, be quick to serve others and be quick to stay in meaningful prayer. Come fellowship with us as we discuss Lukewarm Christians #WWJD #Disciple #Discipline #Lukewarm #Christian #Prayer #Eternity

This week we get an insiders look to what it's like to embark on out-of-country missions. Candice enlightens us on her journey to Costa Rica; what they first thought would be defying moments turned into only the building block for the real testimonial change... oh, to be humbled on a bathroom floor...tune in to find out how God can inspire a seven year old little girl to feel empathy for those less fortunate and how He turned her into a force to be reckoned with on the missionary lines.
