Do you crave people’s love and approval? Do you dread their rejection or mistreatment? Although we don’t always realize it, many of our lives—and identities—are dangerously contorted around such longings and fears. Today we are going to find healthy, biblical ways to overcome these fears.
Here are some questions we will tackle in this episode:
Why is the fear of man such an easy trap to fall into and why can it wreak so much havoc in our lives?
How can we tell the difference between being considerate and thoughtful versus living from a place where we fear man?
What are some of the warnings in scripture about fearing man and why do you think it’s so important to heed them?
How do we know when we are living in the fear of man?
Can you define co-dependency and why can it be so tempting? How can we tell if we are co-dependent?
What biblical remedy do we have as believers that can help us live in freedom from fear of man?

Today I want to address the issue of busyness. I think among homeschool moms, it’s especially prevalent because we want to make sure that we aren’t failing our kids, so we often turn to activities to hopefully “fill in the gaps”.
As a culture we idolize busyness. It can make us feel important, like we have something valuable to offer. Everyone wants and needs to feel like they matter, like they have something to bring to the table. But is this a wise way to find that?
There is nothing wrong with having a full life, but it's good to check in and make sure that we are keeping a healthy perspective.Resources mentioned in this episode:

We always want to see our kids reach an appropriately healthy amount of independence as they move into adulthood, but for those of us with special needs kids, this process can be more challenging and time-consuming than we may have anticipated.
In the last episode, Peggy Ployhar joined me to discuss ways to engage our autistic kids in learning. Today she will share what she believes is important in helping our autistic young adults move toward more independence.

As our country wrestles with darkness, fear, and division, is it possible that the overwhelming sense of hopelessness many of us feel is misplaced? Could it be that the belief that America’s cultural and spiritual decline is inevitable is a misplaced fear?
