There is so much negativity in the world. It seems to be everywhere we turn, and many of us quietly ask ourselves if this will ever improve. Even more, we are asking where we turn for hope and inspiration. Enter The Lighthouse Effect! We often think of actors or celebrities as those with the most influence, but each of us can think of those unsung heroes who have led us down brighter paths. The Lighthouse Effect is the idea that any of us can be a lighthouse for someone or find a lighthouse for ourselves in any given moment and interaction. Understanding your lighthouse effect will change how you see the world and awaken you to the possibilities you have to shape that same world. All of us have an opportunity to say yes. Steve Pemberton found a lighthouse in an ordinary man named John Sykes, his former high school counselor. John gave Steve a safe harbor after Steve escaped an abusive foster home, and together, they navigated a new path that led to personal and professional success. Through stories of people

Ron's new book Preparing to Blend helps couples prepare for all types of family dynamics: Relationship Practical Spiritual Financial Personalities Ron says, In blended families, the biological parent and stepparent must work hard to find their harmony, to support one another, and to play to one another's strengths. and Since authority is based on relationship and trust with the child, stepparents should move gradually into a relationship first, then discipline. Those are just two small nuggets he shares. In today's podcast, Ron also answers questions from my readers, such as how to handle jealousy from kids when two parents who have children from previous relationships have a child together.

When it comes to parenting, we often think about the early years. About the baby years. About the toddler years and the school years. And oh, those teen years. We rarely think about what happens after. After high school. After the kids leave home. After they launch and are on their own. As a mom of adult kids, and younger kids, it doesn't get any easier. It's always hard to let our kids go. And it's just as hard to figure out who we are as moms once they're gone. Maybe some of you are in this empty nest season. And perhaps others of you are thinking ahead. Today, you'll enjoy this podcast as Marci Seither and I share what it was like to launch some of our kids. Also, Marci gives us hope for all the years to come. I know you are going to be blessed by this interview. Don't forget to subscribe + leave us a rating and review!

More about Winning at Home: Combining the expertise of credentialed counselors, coaches, and pastors, Winning at Home offers clarity in the midst of chaos on hard-hitting topics like mental health, technology, sexuality, and identity, for parents who are trying to raise children from a faith-based perspective. Your home should be a place of victory for your family. But all too often, it feels like it’s not. Parents today are raising kids in a culture that not only disagrees with their Christian faith—it strongly opposes it at every turn. We know our faith must inform every aspect of our parenting, but the Bible doesn’t always offer cut-and-dried answers on subjects like parenting a child with mental health problems, helping your kids develop good interpersonal skills and boundaries, understanding sexual identity, or successfully parenting adult children. Nor does the Church always address them—and for that reason, they can be both messy and frightening. In Winning at Home, Dan Seaborn teams up with several of

Today's podcast episode is perfect for homeschoolers and parents both (so even if you aren't a homeschooler, you'll still want to stick around!) But honestly, if you're in relationship with people, I'm sure you will find this a great conversation. My guest today, Tina Hollenbeck, is the author of 8 Great Smarts for Homeschoolers, the owner/curator of The Homeschool Resource Roadmap, and the co-owner of a homeschool-parent resource center in her community. She and her husband homeschooled their now-adult daughters from the beginning (birth!) through high school graduation. Tina really knows her stuff, but what I really love about 8 Great Smarts for Homeschoolers, is the smarts. It's based on Dr. Kathy Koch's book The 8 Great Smarts and it really helps me to understand that all kids are created differently — different strengths and different weaknesses. I know you're going to love this podcast with Tina! Be sure to visit the full show notes and listen to other episodes at thetriciagoyershow.com. And check

Being a parent is hard. It’s easy to get focus on the daily struggles and frustrations and forget that each day is an opportunity to teach, guide, and grow our children into the unique people God created them to be. This can be even more challenging for special needs parents. The Wonderful Way You Are creates a safe place to have a conversation about differences. Based on real special needs children, the book's vivid illustrations and rhyming text help each child see their thoughts and feelings reflected on the page. When special needs children know they are wonderful, not despite their differences, but because of them, it equips them to not just survive, but thrive.
