Perspectives Into Practice Podcast
December 9, 2025
In this powerful episode of Perspectives into Practice, I welcome my longtime friend Emily to discuss a story every parent needs to hear. What started as a typical game of Roblox for Emily's kids quickly turned into a wake-up call when spiritual darkness crept in through something hiding in plain sight.
Together, we unpack how easily the enemy sneaks into our homes through screens, why spiritual discernment is a must, not just for us, but for our children, and how we can stay alert without living in fear. Emily shares how God redeemed her own story of marriage and motherhood, and how He's continuing to guide her family through small, faithful steps.
With heartfelt encouragement and practical wisdom, this episode will help you reframe boundaries as protection, not punishment, and invite God to be the gatekeeper of your home.
Scriptures Referenced:
James 4:7 – "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
1 Peter 5:8 – "Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Judges (general reference to spiritual leadership and the dangers of doing what is right in one's own eyes)
"Does this honor God?" - A simple question that can shape the conversations you have with your kids starting today.
Tune in to be equipped, encouraged, and reminded that God is not distracted, even when we are.
