Does your child need a mindset shift?
|
Hey Reader! Just as I mentioned last week, I've got everything you've been wondering about "mindset" from a Christian perspective new on the blog. Is it biblical? How can you teach it to your young children? In light of all the buzz about Carol Dweck’s Mindset book and teaching kids to have a “growth mindset,” the real question is whether her idea is biblical or not? And what is a biblical mindset? How can you shape your children to grow in knowing Jesus and believe in lasting change? Things you'll learn:

Verse of the Week
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come,” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
“But those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires,”- Romans 8:5 (NIV)
In seminary, one thing really stood out to me. I’m not stuck in my sins as a Christian, but I’m a new creation (2 Cor 5:17 ESV). God has already started the work of making me new. I am a new creation. Not just that I will be some day new, but I AM a new creation. Now. So how I think about myself matters. I can’t live in the old sinful way, but I must learn to live in the new way. This biblical truth is at it’s core a “growth mindset” as Dweck calls it. As Christians, we call it new life in Christ. But, we must set our minds on what the Spirit desires. Read more about a biblical mindset... The Latest on Instagram Related Posts and Products Things I'm Loving

Hey Reader! I used to get annoyed that I had to do everything to try and help our kids grow spiritually. If we were going to pray at a meal with our kids, I had to suggest it. If we were going to talk about how to raise our kids to know Jesus, I had to initiate the conversation. If we were going to read scripture together, I had to start it and do the reading. I was really frustrated, as I wanted my husband/the pastor to be the spiritual leader of our family. But in that season, I knew that...
Hey Reader! I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can help you be a consistent mom for your kids. You see when I had my first kid, then my second, then my third, what was working for me as a married woman with no kids was no longer working with 3 little humans running around. I'd try to do a quick clean up around the house and my 2yo would be working in another room to undo everything I'd just done. It felt like a game of cat and mouse or whack-a-mole. I'd pick up toys in the living...
Hey Reader! I read a fascinating article this week about how we're crowdsourcing asking for advice to strangers on the internet. It feels safer, we don't have to build up so much trust, and we can filter what we like and don't like. But we also don't know whether the people giving us the advice are living lives in shambles or are really qualified. Have they earned the right to give out advice? Have you found yourself following the AITA threads? Do you know what that means?? I didn't. 🤫 Check...
