  Learning To Hear God’s Voice | Stasi Eldredge

  Oct 7, 202635 minS14

  Do you desire to know God deeper, but don’t know where to start? In this episode of the Rhythms for Life podcast, Rebekah Lyons sits down with Stasi Eldredge; New York Times bestselling author, co-author of Captivating with her husband John, and co-founder of Wild at Heart. Together they talk about what it really looks like to move from knowing God in our heads to knowing Him in our hearts.  In her new book, The Ladder of Love , Stasi traces the metaphors God uses to reveal Himself in Scripture: clay, sheep, child, sibling, friend, and bride. Each one is a rung that brings us closer to His heart. In this conversation, Stasi and Rebekah talk through each metaphor, sharing personal anecdotes and insight on intimacy with God in each step of the way. Whether you've walked with Jesus for decades and long for more, or you're still learning to recognize His voice, this conversation offers a gentle, practical invitation into deeper intimacy with the God who calls you friend. In this episode, you'll hear: Formed Like Clay : Discover God’s intention with creating each of us, not just by speaking us into existence, but thoughtfully creating us by hand.  The Circular Ascent: Be encouraged in moments that leave you saying “I’ve been here before” by learning how Shepherds lead and guide. Creating Space for Listening Prayer: Learn practical steps for slowing down and sitting with God in discernment. Run in Like a Child: Rethink how you come to God by regaining the posture of a child, running to Him without caution or hesitation. Becoming the Bride: Find ultimate, deep intimacy with Jesus through the final rung of the ladder of love.

  Walking With Your Child Through Grief | Sissy Goff

  Sep 23, 202639 minS14

  In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with a longtime friend of the RFL community, child and adolescent counselor Sissy Goff. For 34 years, Sissy has walked alongside kids and parents at Daystar Counseling in Nashville, and in this conversation she brings all of that experience to one of the hardest, most necessary topics a parent will ever face: grief. This episode centers on Sissy's new book, Helping Kids Through Grief , and the wisdom she's carried through walking alongside the Covenant School community after the tragedy that shook Nashville and the nation. Together, they talk about the interesting ways kids tend to process grief, the importance of a safe, steady adult in their lives, and specific tools that can be used in their healing journey. Whether you're helping a child process the death of a loved one, walking through the loss of divorce, or simply looking for the right words in the first raw days after tragedy, this conversation offers hope and a clear path towards healing and renewal. In this episode, you'll hear: Post-Traumatic Growth over Stress: Gain hope from research showing that post-traumatic growth occurs far more frequently in children than post-traumatic stress when given proper support.   Grieving in Doses: Discover how children process loss like coming up for air while swimming, moving rapidly between intense emotion and normal play.   The Power of One Safe Adult: Unpack why a child doesn't need perfect circumstances to heal, but rather one safe, steady adult who stays close and present.   Empathy Without Enabling: How to validate a child's hardest emotions while still holding the line on behavior. The Memory Box: Be equipped with a simple, powerful practice for helping kids remember, honor, and carry forward what they've lost in a healing way.

  Testing Our Patience | Joy Reed Eggerichs & Emerson Eggerichs

  Sep 9, 202640 minS14

  Welcome to the first episode in our new season of the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah Lyons sit down with longtime friend Dr. Emerson Eggerichs alongside his daughter, author and literary agent Joy Reed Eggerichs. Bringing together two generations of wisdom, they unpack how parents and grandparents can guide children to communicate deep, virtuous principles in a way that is fun, engaging, and sticky. Parenting often tests our patience when kids blurt out awkward truths or react out of impulse, but learning to look past surface behavior reveals what is happening in a child's heart. In this candid conversation, Emerson and Joy share how their collaborative children's book set in the "Land of Nuf" offers a roadmap for families to practice emotional health, discipleship, and intentional rhythms. You’ll discover how shifting from heavy-handed consequences to gentle redirection can transform your family's culture, leaving you with actionable steps toward building resilient, grace-filled relationships. In this episode, you’ll hear: The Four Pillars of Communication: Learn how filtering speech through whether it is true, kind, necessary, and clear provides a practical framework for wise conversation. The Power of the Do-Over: Discover how offering a lighthearted do-over gives children an accessible path toward repair and resilience without falling into shame.

Why Tone Precedes Meaning: Explore how a child's brain senses tone before processing spoken words, showing why gentle delivery is crucial when offering correction. Seeing Virtue Underneath Vice: Gain encouragement to assume goodwill in your family and recognize the hidden strengths behind a child's headstrong tendencies.
