Managing our Emotions

Welcome to Episode 44, a new series on Managing the many aspects of becoming a restoration family.
Jennifer and Emelie talk about the importance of managing our emotions and not burdening our children with big emotions.
Many of you felt like you had to parent your parents, but you can stop the cycle. 
It’s okay to process out loud, but always leave your children with a hopeful statement like, “mommy is feeling overwhelmed right not, but I know God will carry us through”.
Then, take those big emotions and process them with a friend, mentor, or therapist.

Dream Big

Welcome to Episode 43. Jennifer Pepito and good friend Rachel Kovac have an engaging and light conversation about the joy and ease of experimenting and creating family rhythm. Rachel brings a beautiful perspective on the opportunities provided by homeschooling and the fun of figuring out a family rhythm. 
We can experiment, mix it up, find what brings us joy, vary it by seasons, and still have an adherence to a family rule for the sake of restoration, connection, and wholeness. In all of this, let's dream big about what family, motherhood, and our personal lives might look like.

Young children need stability and rythm not loads of choices 
Judging others steals joy, hurts community, and negatively impacts our ability to learn, enjoy, and build our family vision
Don't be afraid to experiment and figure out what works best for your family

Faithfulness not Outcomes

In our family, Emelie's journey with anorexia was the first indicator that having a Family Rule did not create a 1+1=2 journey. In some seasons, your family rules, and the boundaries and stability we put into place to foster godly, joy filled children will look like it's failing. But is the family rule failing, or is God too good to allow "goodness" to replace "holiness". 
Goodness is simply good behaviour, holiness is when we've allowed ourselves to be sanctified from the inside out, nothing hidden, nothing broken. 
Episode 42 is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Emelie about what happens when a family rule seems to fail.

The Unique Paths of Family Rules

Have you ever wondered what makes a great family? We have too. It's easy to wonder who has the secret, or what formula produces a happy, holy family. But maybe it isn't like that, maybe parenting is many paths to creating connected families. Maybe it's simple. 
Join Jennifer and Ginny Yurich of the podcast and movement 1000 Hours Outside for an incredible discussion about creating family rule around who you are as individuals and the unique dreams and identity that God has placed in you. We're not looking for a secret sauce, but authenticity, joy, and centred self of family identity that rests in who God made us to be rather than trying to control the outcomes.

Jennifer’s Guide to Creating a Daily Routine

Do you ever have golden dreams for how your homeschool day will go, but feel like you're constantly ending it weary and disappointed in another day that was overwhelming, chaotic, too full, or simply lacked any sort of order? If you can resonate with any of that, then episode 40 is perfect for you.
Jennifer takes you through planning a daily rhythm and highlights resources, systems, ideas, and strategies for making sure that we feel less steamrolled at the end of the day. Yet, sometimes no matter how meticulously we planned, a day still takes us. On those days we learn to forgive ourselves, our children, our spouse, maybe a friend or parent and accept the grace on offer in Christ to pick up and start afresh tomorrow.

The Rule of Life with Heather MacFadyen

Building a rule of life is about the practical culmination of the last 10 months into a vision board for how to take what you're learning, and make it your own. A huge part of the ongoing struggle we face in doing so is comparison and becoming sidetracked by other people's "spaces".
Or maybe you're building a family vision and you're not being sidetracked by other people, but you are making a plan that is contained and measured by your limitations, fears, and vows. In doing so, are you ignoring the space and vision that God wants to assign to you in order to grow, heal, broaden, and restore? 
In Ep. 39, Heather MacFadyen of the Don't Mom Alone Podcast joins Jennifer for the second part of how to build a rule for you and your family. The conversation is so beautiful as both women share experiences from their past, and remember how God has shown up give them not just a vision but one where God remains firmy at the centre.

 In this episode–
A family rule is something can be "bendy" but unbroken. So, it's not something you get to pick and choose when it applies but something you follow with consistency through changing seasons.
Humility is learning to live with authority in your God given space
With older children, you neither bend your will to theirs, or their will to yours, but you continue faithfully trusting God in the journey he is taking them on.

Creating a Family Rule

For the last 9 months of the Restoration Home Podcast, we have explored the disciplines of hospitality, order, prayer, stability and much more. We have loved having these conversations and understanding the way embracing them through enjoyment of God rather than religion can encourage restoration in our lives, our families and into our community.
But with all this information, where do we go next? 
Join Jennifer and Emelie for the beginning of a four part series on the "how to" of creating a family rule. This is one of my favourite conversations as we talked about our early days of creating a famiy vision and how to build and hold onto one in the midst of changing and uncontrollable disruption.

A Guide to Orderly Parenting

Whether your child is 3, 5, 9, 13 or 17, you are probably already confronted with, "But Sally gets to stay up late, eat this, do that, go here, fill in the blank." And I'm sure your response has ranged across permissive, mature, and full on authoritarian as you wage the war of parenthood against the world to raise children whose young and growing minds are protected, nurtured, strengthened and prepared to thrive in every aspect of their lives. But in this fight to raise Godly children, are you making your children the enemy? 
Episode 37 is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Wendy of the Fresh Start Family about creating order through clear boundaries, consistent follow through, empathy, kindness, and humility.

Order, Orderly, Ordered: What is it really?

Two episodes ago, Jennifer and Emelie talked about how Order has become something often associated with control. Control often comes from a broken place, as we try to make our world and environment safe, familiar, and unchanging. Or if our parents were orderly, bordering on control, we shy away from order because it felt like manipulation and fear. 
But Godly order is worship of an orderly God. 
In this episode, Emelie and Jennifer hit all sorts of delicious topics like what is patriarchy, matriarchy? How has control of what life should look like,  instead of order that tends our garden, hurt our joy and stability. Finally, before you assume it's a patriarchy, are you using a matriarchy to uphold a patriarchy? At the end of the day the only place we can create an abundance of order is when we start tending to the intimate places of our heart.
