Untriggered: Transformation for Mom’s Who Struggle With Anger - Amber Lia
Are you weary and frustrated with your kids…with yourself?
In a moment of anger, Amber was yelling at her kids when she realized the neighbor had come over to drop something off. “Oh no! Did she hear my outburst?” she wondered. That was the moment she knew she needed to address the anger that often undermined her mothering.
Amber Lia is a best-selling author. Her newest book is the devotional - Untriggered: 60 Days of Transformation for Moms Who Struggle with Anger.
In an honest conversation with Perry & Shawna about the moments as parents that we didn’t reflect the character of God to our children, Amber shares real life ways we can find our way back to living out the fruit of the Spirit in our homes, with our kids.
Perry was at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland on his trip of a lifetime with his bride. He went off the official trail and was yelled at by a park worker. He was offended and treated the worker unkindly. That’s when the Holy Spirit said, “Go back and apologize.”
Sometimes Shawna feels like God’s not doing His job. She believes that God should fix her problems. Instead of asking, “God, what are you doing?” she’s learning to ask, “God what are you doing in me?” and to trust His grace is enough.

“Sometimes I Doubt God’s Promises” – Perry
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God.” (2 Cor. 1:20)
Bible scholar Dr. Jeremy Grinnell joins the team to take on Bible questions.
Sometimes Perry doubts God’s promises. But he’s growing in trust because the passage above is starting to sink in! Every promise of God will be fulfilled and every promise is ultimately pointing to one staggering truth. And Jeremy unpacks it!
Then Stephanie asks: “In John 16:7 Jesus said, ‘but in fact, it is best for you if I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come.’ Why did Jesus have to leave in order for the Holy Spirit to come? Why couldn't they both be on earth?” How could it possibly be better for Jesus to leave?
Next, Todd’s question: “What's your position on ‘Once saved always saved?’ “ And last Perry is fresh off his trip with his bride to Ireland. At the Cliffs of Moher he was reprimanded by a park worker. He was rude to her and then the Holy Spirit said, “Go back and apologize!?” A conversation about the power of kindness.

Does My Child Need Professional Help?
We all have moments when we feel anxious – in every phase of life. How can we know if our child needs professional help for their mental health?
Dr. Emilie DeYoung, Clinical Director and Counselor at Winning at Home, shares three things we can look for to help us discern if what our child is experiencing is a normal “life lesson” or if it’s time to access a professional.
Dr. Emilie also:
- Answers a listener’s question about giving our children words for their feelings as early as 2 – is it helpful or hurtful?
- Emphasizes the importance of validating emotions while not allowing them to drive our decisions.
- Empowers parents as the primary influence in their child’s life, even when you get the big eye roll.
- Explains the five factors’ parents and families can adopt to promote resilience in their families.
Also, your children can be your greatest teacher. Shawna shares three things her oldest daughter taught her in the short time she was stateside – lessons that have changed how she lives and how she enters every day.

It's time to start thriving!

Strong and Secure – Michelle Nietert
What launches us into life strong and secure? Knowing the Father heart of God – His protection, healing, peace, provision, and presence.
Christian counselor, speaker, and author, Michelle Nietert, coauthor with Lynn Cowell of Strong and Secure: 100 Devotions for Young Women says, “We believe that God desires a deep and intimate relationship with each of us”.
Leaving what is familiar to step into the unknown can be exciting and scary at the same time. In order to fully swing into the new, we need to let go of what was. As we do we can fix our eyes and God trusting that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
