Super special, super-sized episode coming atchu! I have my first ever guest AND it's my husband! We share our 'origin story' and get into how we have grown in our faith, how we incorporate fun into our day-to-day and how we prioritize our family.

We do not have it all figured out, by any means, BUT we have learned to depend on God, no matter our circumstances. Tune in if you want some encouragement as a single who is hoping for a healthy, happy marriage one day, a married person looking for some fresh ideas, or someone coming out of heartbreak - I've been there and let me remind you that God is still good.

Praying this episode encourages you!

You do not want to miss listening to this one - I get into some personal details where I share how I forced my hand to get what I thought I wanted...and when I finally let go and let God bring me something even better.

We hear "just let go and let God" all the time, but how do we actually do that!?

Our pastor always says, "Dependency is the currency of the kingdom". This episode dives into what dependency looks like and how we practically let God be God and let go of the things we're clinging to.

What is community? Why is it important? How do we cultivate it? I get into all of this on this special LAUNCH day episode of the podcast.

The Trinity is our greatest example of community; God the Father, Jesus the Son, Holy Spirit.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now

the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of

the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

-Genesis 1:1-2

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. John 1-4

Our culture focuses so much on the self, the individual, these days. No wonder we have seen such a rise in depression and anxiety. When it’s all about me, I lose sight of the fact that my life is not my own.

God’s grace says, "yes, you are forgiven", BUT it’s also about giving you the strength through the Lord to do what He’s called you to do. To live to a higher standard of holiness, of accountability, of obedience – you cannot do this in isolation.

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created

them; male and female he created them.

-Genesis 1:27

Now go out and expand your community because our faith is not our own!

Welcome to the Whole Family Mission podcast! I am your host, Amanda Cole; a wife and mama to three kiddos, 7, 4, & 1.5 years old. While I do work a full-time corporate job, my passion is equipping families to live on mission for the Lord.

Though I grew up in the church, it wasn't until my 30's when I fully embraced my walk with the Lord, sluffing off the yoke of legalism and running wild in the freedom of the true gospel.

Back in 2022 with a 4 and 1 year old, I read, Take Back Your Family, by Jefferson Bethke and everything changed. I devoured all the content I could around the family teams concept with the Bethkes, Pryors, and Phylicia Masonheimer. Ever since, my husband, Mike, and I are committed to guiding our family to be a family team on mission for the Lord.

If you’re a parent who wants your family to operate as a team, as a united front, and to get clear on your mission and what God has called you and your family to, then this podcast is for you.

Some episodes will just be me sharing some thoughts and insights and things that I’ve learned, and I’m going to bring on some other individuals who can share what they’ve learned and experiences they’ve gone through. As my family and I are also learning on this learning, we are excited to share that with all of you.
