Summary

In our increasingly digital age, it is more important than ever to make sure we are using our words to affirm and guide our children. In a world that tries to tell them who they are and what is important, it is our job as parents to encourage them toward virtue and faith. I am so pleased to bring you this conversation with Sally Clarkson. Through book writing, podcasting, and speaking, Sally uses her words to mentor a generation of young moms who want to give their children a life full of beauty, creativity, faith, and family. May you come away from this conversation with a renewed vigor for creating a verbal home that breathes life into the hearts of your children.

In this episode, we cover:

What it means to have a verbal home and why it matters in this day and age
How you can appoint times throughout your day, week, year to intentionally affirm your children
Going beyond what we say and examining what is in our hearts
Strategies for being truly present with your children and not getting sucked into distraction
Protecting your family’s time in order to maximize opportunities for lifegiving conversation
How prioritizing words can knit your family’s hearts together
Considering boundaries around creating solely for your family’s benefit vs. creating to share with the world
The importance of keeping work in its rightful place
Getting on the same page as your spouse about the direction of your family

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. Today, I have someone really exciting coming
0:06.5	on the podcast. Sally Clarkson is the author of, I believe she said 27 books. I know I've personally
0:12.8	read four of them. She has a brand new book coming out in October that I've had the privilege to read
0:19.1	about halfway through at this point because it's still as it came out, but I have a copy.
0:23.6	And we are going to be talking about creating a verbal home, which means
0:28.8	exchanging words with your kids, which sounds like well done, but this is actually something that I
0:34.6	struggle with in the way that will be productive and knitting my children's hearts to mine and
0:40.8	creating this relationship. Not only that, we're going to talk about unique struggles that moms
0:46.8	today face with social media, with the pull to constantly share, constantly build something and
0:55.0	create beauty for the outside world. This is at least something that I struggle with.
0:59.2	I am going to be talking to her about that as well. So let's dive in. This is a really great

1:25.0	Hi, Sally. Thank you so much for agreeing to come on the podcast. I've been listening to your
1:30.4	podcast to catch up on like where you are. And I know that you've been back and forth and there's
1:35.2	been some issues getting you, you know, where you're living situation and all that. So for those of
1:41.7	you who don't know you, I'll give a brief introduction and then you can tell us a little bit about
1:46.1	you as well. But you are a mentor to Christian moms and our generation. I have many friends who,
1:53.0	when I told them you're going to come on a podcast, we're very excited. So you're a huge inspiration
1:58.6	to me personally. I'm currently reading your new book, which we can talk about giving your words.
2:03.7	I've read some of your other books as well. So let's let's talk about that. Can you introduce
