How do you move past the deep pain that often happens within families?

Forgiveness opens the door to healing while creating the conditions for God’s justice to be worked out. There is power in our choice to forgive. Will we choose it?

Giving voice to the nuances of forgiveness, Addison, Juli, and Arden Bevere lend you their personal experience on how they have experienced the heart of God by embracing forgiveness.

Today’s episode of At Home with the Beveres brings clarity to challenging questions like the differences between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how love creates the container for sins to be navigated. We hope you’ll tune in!

Have you ever felt like pieces of your past have disqualified you from a beautiful story in the present? Your family's story may look different than you expected.

God will weave beauty and restoration into your family's story if you allow Him.

At some point in our parenting, we will make mistakes—perhaps big ones.

There are so many questions when it comes to disciplining our kids. What do I do when I recognize I’ve messed up? What is appropriate discipline and what is too far? How can we as parents model God’s heart to our children when correction is needed?

Join us for part 2 of our conversation on discipline in this episode of At Home with the Beveres as we explore how our parenting can model the kingdom of God!

How can we help our kids grow into who God has called them to be? How do we create a healthy environment for our kids to flourish? And how can we curb unhealthy and unwanted behaviors without going too far and potentially damaging our children?

The way we discipline our kids is a massive part of their formation. As parents, the weight of this can feel overwhelming. Let’s be honest; discipline can be quite challenging. Many of us never had a healthy model to learn from, which may have left us feeling uncertain about how to navigate it. If this is you, rest assured, you are not alone!

Today on At Home with the Bevere's we are discussing how to discipline in a way that honors God. You won't want to miss this one! Addison, Juli, Alec, and Lisa will lend you their personal experience on the topic of discipline, leaving you with both insightful frameworks on the subject, as well as practical ways to implement it in your home.

On this episode of At Home with the Beveres, join Addison and Juli as they host guest Dr. W. Lee Warren. He shares his story of finding hope in the middle of heartbreaking circumstances, offering insights on complex questions like: How do we develop a healthy theology of God in the midst of suffering?

Do you feel frozen by the fear of making a mistake? Or are you ready to step forward into everything God is calling you?

One of the most courageous things we can do is to begin again.

Sometimes a step in any direction is better than doing nothing—and maybe it looks like going back to the last thing God told you to do.

In this episode of At Home with the Beveres, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa encourage us to break out of old thought patterns and take courage as we embrace all God has for us in 2023.

We find ourselves at the very beginning of the New Year, and with that, the wonderful ability to start afresh. But before you rush into 2023, charging full steam ahead, it’s important to step back and reflect on the year that was.

Today on At Home with the Beveres, join Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa as they share the three C’s that will help us bring closure to this last year so we can step fully into the new one: clarify, close, and celebrate!

It’s easy to forget that if we don’t properly deal with the things of the past, they carry over into our present and futures!

Having a fresh start is a good thing, but in order to go forward, we need to be honest about what's behind us.

Tune in for a practical and tactical start to the New Year on this episode of At Home with the Beveres!

For most of us, the Christmas season means quality (and quantity) time with family!

Family can bring so much joy—but it can also surface pain, resentment, and grief, among other unwanted challenges to the holiday season.

Whether you’re hosting your extended family or traveling to visit familiar places and faces, it can be tough to navigate contentious family dynamics.

On this episode of At Home with the Beveres, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa give you specific tools to help you grow through family mess rather than revert to ways of the past.

This episode will equip you to let things go, practice forgiveness, and show honor where it’s hardest to give.

Disclaimer: This podcast includes age-sensitive conversations and is rated M for mature.

When it comes to raising our children, many things feel out of our control. When will they first learn about porn or sexting? When will they first discover swear words and inappropriate language? What about drugs? And then there's the whole conversation on gender and identity. The list goes on.

The destructive things of this world will at some point present themselves to our children in one way or another. As parents who want to raise godly kids, we play a crucial role in preparing our children to handle the realities of our modern world.

Join Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa as they discuss creating an atmosphere of trust where your kids feel comfortable coming to you with the confusing issues they encounter, rather than feeling left on their own to navigate them.

As parents, we all walk a fine line between setting healthy, helpful boundaries with our kids and being over-protective, helicopter parents.

Naturally, each of us wants to keep our kids from repeating the mistakes we made. If we're not careful, this can lead to a parenting style driven by fear. And fear, as you may know, is a terrible counselor. It also provides a horrible example to follow. Fearful parents raise fearful kids. How do we as parents break fear's grip on our own lives so we can raise children who aren't terrified to take appropriate levels of risk?

Today, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa will lend you their personal experience with the hope that you can leave some fearful parenting habits in the past. May this episode equip you as a parent to train your kids well rather than trapping them in your own fears.

If you’re a millennial you may have grown up with the word “sheltered” coming with a negative stigma. Many parents, in an effort to “protect” their children, end up creating all sorts of rules and boundaries that end up stifling their kids rather than protecting and preparing them.

We’re living in a day and age where most parents feel that no matter what they choose to do—or not to do—the world will inevitably be pushed on their children.

Today, on At Home with the Beveres, we’re taking a fresh look at what it means to “shelter” your kids. Whether you have strongly defined boundaries in your home or you lean toward the free-flowing end of the spectrum, this conversation with Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa will provide plenty of food for thought on the subject!

Do you ever feel like it’s “too late” for you to parent up to your potential? Or do you feel that you’ve made too many parental mistakes to fully recover from?

Although we wish it was as easy as 1-2-3, to parent perfectly, there’s just no simple formula to get it right all the time. But what we can do is help you learn from our mistakes.

This week on At Home with the Beveres, we answer some of our most frequently asked questions. Addison, Juli, John, & Lisa share some of their parental woes with transparency, giving some keen insights on what they would have done differently in retrospect.

Experience truly is the best teacher—but its lessons can come at a high price. In this episode, learn from their experience—the successes and the setbacks—on how to set the tone in your home!

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone told you how to avoid their parenting mistakes and familial woes?

Although we wish we could snap our fingers and give you all the answers, there’s no way of telling the future. But what we can do is help you learn from our mistakes.

This week on At Home with the Beveres, we openly discuss what we wish we had known back then that we know now. We pray that these lessons will save you from the same pitfalls and help you set up your homes for success.

So, buckle up as we dive into a two-part series on how to set the tone in your home!

Five years ago, people were asking us things like, “How should I study the Bible?” or “How do I write a book or prep a sermon?” But now people are asking us things like… “How do I live?… How do I maintain love in marriage?… How do I position my children to love God?… How do I finish well?”

The topics surrounding family are endless, but today we want to talk about how to reset and begin again when you feel like you haven’t done it well.

Today’s podcast gives you insights on how to get back up after a tough season. You’ll see that God measures us not by how many times we fall, but by how many times we get back up. Join us (John, Lisa, Addison, and Juli) as we demystify the “perfect family” myth and equip you to keep going and growing.

If you’re wrestling with doing family well, you’re not alone. Let’s face it. Family is wonderful…ly complicated. And doing family well is an intricate balance of embracing timeless wisdom and making adjustments on the fly in our fast-paced, ever-changing world. 

The conversation on doing family well is so vast we knew we had to do something more thorough to do it justice. That's why we’re thrilled to bring you At Home with the Beveres, this new multi-generational podcast dedicated to discussing all things family. 

We haven’t done family perfectly, but we have done it well—which means we’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned from them along the way. Now, we want to share those critical lessons with you!
 

Whatever your specific season of family looks like, our goal with this podcast is to open our home to you and give you a safe place to engage these important conversations. So without any further ado, grab a cup of coffee or tea, pull up a chair, and tune into episode one here.
