There is a sole purpose for why we were all born, and God knew it even before we were formed in the womb.
As a God’s minister, you have two roles: Bring people back to Christ and turn them into disciples.
We become holy by following the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord by following the Bible.
Christmas is one of the most important holidays for Christians because we remind ourselves that a baby was born to die.

Freedom costs lives, hidden scars of war, PTSD, and so much more! Veterans deserve to be celebrated. We owe it to them!
In this episode, Leo Connley joins us on the show as we celebrate Veterans' special day. Leo served as a veteran in the controversial Vietnam War and later as the Mahoning County Veterans Service Commission district commander.
In the session, Leo shares his background as a veteran, his experience serving in the controversial Vietnam war, and sustaining wounds when rescuing an American Soldier. We also dive into his purple heart award in 2019, the Mahoning County veteran service, as well as some fun rapid-fire questions.
Key Takeaways
Learn to give back if you receive help as a veteran. You owe it to someone else. You don’t have to do it weekly but at least once a year.
What works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for the other. You need to figure out what fits best for you in overcoming PTSD or alcoholism.
If any veteran in war says they aren’t scared, it’s a lie. They are scared of death even on their first day.

Quotes
●“When you have children, and you're raising your children, the village becomes so important, because that is how we function as a society where we can lean on each other.”
●“The first four years of life are the most crucial developmental years for children.”
●“Nutrition, I think, is one of the most important things in gifts that you can give to your child for the first, you know, forever but, but really the first four years of their life and showing them a relationship with food, showing them that we eat to sustain and we eat to nourish.”
●“Children are little parents. And they tend to gravitate toward the things that we place the most importance on.”
As a new parent, you navigate this gauntlet of stuff with the baby. What should you do? What should you not do? You tend to seek perfectionism in your parenting journey, but parenting is a learning process no matter how many kids you have.
In this episode, Jeanette Cole joins us to explore parenting tips for new parents. Jeanette is a certified Doula, breastfeeding counselor, and Yoga Instructor. She is also the host of “Mama Says,” a podcast for new parents, seasoned parents, and moms in general, focusing on linking the past with the present.
In this session, Jeanette shares her experience as a doula, why you need one, a new mom’s experience, top challenges new parents face, and maintaining healthy development in your child. Besides, she dives deep into the importance of good nutrition practices and not being too hard on yourself.
Key Takeaways
●Always take care of yourself. So you can take care of the baby. If you can't take care of yourself, you'll have a tough time with the baby. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
●As a parent, you are always learning. There is no right way to do anything. Although people will give you advice, you are the only one who understands your child the best.
●Don't take it personally when a kid refuses your food despite how well you’ve made it. It could be a texture thing, or they might like that type of food, but only in a certain way.

Episode Highlights
Why hire a doula?
Just like any business, a hospital is a business. Parents or patients might not get that standard one-on-one care specific to the individual. So a doula gives you that specific one-on-one care and gives you the research you need to make your own informed decisions or the birth and raising of a child.
Challenges of first-time parents
●Having the support of the village: You don't understand or know what a village is until you become the parent. A village not only includes your family members but anyone and everyone with whom you have come in contact.
●Giving yourself grace with house chores and meals: You don’t have to do everything to perfection as a new mom. Give yourself some grace.
●Time: As a new mom, you must ensure your schedule isn't so jam-packed that you have zero time to interact with your child.
Tips and tricks to maintaining your child’s healthy development
The first four years of life are children's most crucial developmental years. How can you maintain a healthy development for them? Focus on
●Nourishing foods: You must ensure that your kids' meals are well balanced. Good nutrition is the best thing you can give to your child.
●Reading books: Reading is underrated. Get a book for your kid, depending on their age.
● Proper Breastfeeding.
The ultimate thing you need to know as a new parent
Parenting is a learning experience no matter how old you are or how many kids you have. There will always be people to tell you how to do things but just do what you want to do. You’re the only person who knows your child best.
Understanding there’s no perfectionism in parenting
Most parents seek perfectionism, but you don’t need perfectionism. Find what method works best for you and step away from the perfectionist posers on social media.
