Our children are a mirror of us. The words that they use, sure they're going to learn some out at school, sure they're going to learn some in different places from friends, but they are a mirror of who we are. Do you want them to be that? Do you want them to show every single day who you are to the world? Because that's what they're learning. [00:06:22] (27 seconds)  #ChildrenMirrorUs

Are we playing a life giving soundtrack for our kids to play out to their friends? When Jesus is at the center of who we are. When Jesus is at the center of our inmost being. The words that we use flow out of who Jesus is. [00:06:51] (21 seconds)  #JesusAtTheCenter

Life giving phrases are ones that affirm the identity of who we are and in Christ. Life giving phrases point our children, our friends, those around us towards what the promises that God gives of us. And life giving phrases reminds those we're speaking to that they are loved, they are valued, and they're not alone. [00:08:23] (32 seconds)  #AffirmIdentityInChrist

It's up to us to speak life giving words into our children so that they know the value that they have. We're in a period of life where there is just such crisis of mental health. So many children that don't feel like they belong. So many children that don't understand what it means to be loved. We get to choose that for our families. [00:15:41] (26 seconds)  #SpeakLifeInCrisis

We get to choose who we are. We can't control anybody else. We get to choose who we are. What is the lifelong legacy that you are building in your own home? [00:16:24] (15 seconds)  #ChooseYourLegacy

``Only when we go and we change the thermostat. Only when we go over and we turn the temperature down in the thermostat or turn the temperature up does the environment with which we are in change. You get to be that thermostat in your home. You get to be the one who sets the environment in your home. [00:18:11] (23 seconds)  #BeTheThermostat

Be the thermostat that sets our environment back towards Christ. Be the thermostat that when crazy things are happening, we are the calm that our children can see calm in us as we choose to give life giving words as our identity. [00:19:32] (22 seconds)  #CalmInTheStorm
