Do the kids in your life have a clear view of the world as God sees it, or do they need some gentle coaching to be shaped and molded into God’s truth? This is where our conversation turns to sunglasses…
Kori & Lee talk about three different types of sunglass lenses, and why it’s so important for children to see the world through God’s holy lens, brought into focus by the Bible! We want it to be second nature for our kids to process life through a Biblical worldview because this will guide them to truth which in turn guides them to hope - and we know that Jesus is the hope of the world! We aren’t always going to be there to guide them, so we want to be sure they have on their Biblical worldview sunglasses…
Ready to hear the 3 types of protective lenses kids need in order to see clearly? Let’s go…

Our guest today, Donna Nicholson Stief, is coming to us with a topic not often discussed - the topic of grief. Did you know that you CAN heal from all the many layers of grief? To quote Donna, “Grief is not a problem to be solved - it’s not something that needs fixed. It’s the natural, God-given response to love and loss. It’s a journey, and we need to understand that journey and learn how to navigate it.” Unprocessed grief swings the door wide open for Satan to get a foothold - but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Donna will share her story of tragic loss and talk about why it’s so important to process and discuss it. You’ll be inspired by this conversation of love, loss, and deep joy.
Ready to lean in to the advice Donna shares on stewarding grief with your children? Let’s go!

Did you know that 9.2% of the world, or 719 million people, live in extreme poverty? This means they’re living on less than $2.15 a day! Most of us have been blessed with more than enough to meet our basic needs, so it can be challenging to teach our kids to have compassion for those who are poor simply because they don’t have the eyes to see it. Our guest today is Lorie Lee, a church partnerships manager with Compassion International. Lorie will share the powerful story behind Compassion’s development, its mission, and a glimpse into the life of a child living in poverty through the Compassion Journey. Whether it’s across the sea or in our neighborhood, poverty is real and Jesus tells us how we can help.
Ready to hear how we can have eyes to see the needs of those around us? Let’s jump into the Compassion Journey together…
LORIE LEE is a church partnerships manager at Compassion International. In her role, Lorie introduces churches in the US to Compassion’s hands-on learning experiences and offers coaching and encouragement to church leaders as they enhance their church’s focus on global missions. As an adjunct professor, former KidMin leader, published author and speaker, she brings a rich mix of programmatic knowledge, creativity, and a passion to raise global kids to Compassion’s church development team. Lorie and her husband, Scott, live in Colorado with their son, Maddox.
