Send us a textWe are honored to have Side By Side's Executive Director, Rebecca Lehman, join us for this episode! We've packed a lot of her story into this one - starting with her early life when the Lord laid a foundation of faith and ministry, and leading to how that foundation prepared her for her current leadership of Side By Side! Rebecca traces her experience with Side By Side, from first joining after having twins, to co-starting a chapter during residency, to joining the executive team, and finally to how she came to her current role as Executive Director. She gives the best practical advice: like when to say "yes" and "no" to ministry opportunities, and how to reassure your husband in his identity in Christ. Her wisdom is timeless and has been inspiring to us - we're thrilled to share this conversation with you!Scriptures referenced: Philippians 1:27, Ecclesiastes 5:6, Romans 8:28, and Romans 5:2SLS on Facebook and Instagram.Support the SLS Ministry.Purchase SLS StickersConnect with your local Side By Side Ministry!Support the show

Spiritual parenting transcends traditional approaches by recognizing the profound energetic connection between parent and child. This episode dives deep into how our energy directly influences our children's behavior—illustrated through a tooth-brushing standoff where parental frustration was perfectly mirrored by the child, creating a cycle that only broke when calm energy entered the equation.I share my journey of discovering how mindfulness practices, peaceful parenting techniques, and energy work combine to create a foundation for raising conscious, emotionally intelligent children. We explore the difference between guided and unguided meditation, encouraging parents to try sitting with their thoughts independently—even if just for five minutes in a bathroom or parked car—to develop meditation muscles that guided apps don't always build.Boundaries remain essential in spiritual parenting, but they're established from connection rather than control. When we maintain strong bonds with our children, we can introduce necessary limits with phrases like "I'm here to support you" and "Part of my job is challenging you to reach the next level of yourself." This approach acknowledges growth often requires discomfort while assuring children they won't face challenges alone. The episode also provides practical energy tools for children—visualizing protective light, grounding through imaginary roots, and using simple mantras like "positive energy only"—that help them navigate social situations and emotional challenges. These spiritual practices don't replace conventional parenting wisdom but enhance it by addressing the energetic dimension of parent-child relationships that's often overlooked.Ready to transform your parenting through energy awareness?
