Summary

I love to bring relevant, and sometimes difficult topics to the podcast, not because I think parents are unaware, but to help them look at them through the lens of the gospel and scripture. We are inundated with information and much of it perpetuates fear which is NOT of God. He calls us to wisdom and discernment, but never to fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power of love and of a sound mind. 1 Timothy 1:7 The topic of sexual abuse can be a difficult one to process and discuss. If you've experienced sexual abuse you likely have very strong/deeply painful feelings about it. It can also be very emotional. If you've never experienced sexual abuse, you may not be sure how to best protect your kids. Either way, our experiences can cause us to overreact or under-react. Today Kelly Winkler, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Christian mom shares from her many years of experience working with women who have been sexually abused. She gives timely and biblical counsel on how to protect our kids without coming from a place of fear. Even better, she guides us into ways to take what Satan means for evil and allow God to use it for good! Kelly is generously offering a coupon code to give you her online course for $20 instead of the regular price of $50!

0:00.0	Welcome to this week's podcast. I'm Durinda Wilson, wife to one, mom to eight, and Nana to six. I'm also a homeschooling mom who's been doing that for about 24 years. I'm really
0:24.2	excited that you're here today. We have a great topic that we're covering today, and I'll be talking
0:31.6	about that in just a minute. But before we get started, I want you to consider going and checking out my simple,
0:39.8	mercifully short book on homeschooling, the Unhurried Homestchooler, and also my devotional
0:45.1	called Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart. You can find both of those on Amazon. I think they could
0:50.4	be a real blessing to you. So you guys know that I have always been honest with all
0:56.0	of you, very transparent and straightforward. And I have to say, I have been experiencing some
1:01.4	serious burnout right now. My body is transitioning into menopause. And can I just say that is not
1:08.7	a smooth transition. And there are times when it really affects my energy level.
1:13.6	So that being said, after praying and talking to my husband and getting some wise counsel,
1:18.5	I am actually going to take a sabbatical from recording new podcasts.
1:23.8	It's not an easy thing to do because a podcast has been growing like crazy,
1:27.9	which means God is using it to bring a lot of encouragement to moms. And I absolutely love that. However,
1:33.9	this is his podcast and my first priority is to walk in obedience to him whatever the cost. So I hope
1:40.8	that you all will still continue to listen to any of the podcasts that you haven't
1:45.4	had a chance to listen to yet. I'll be sharing a countdown of the top 10 podcasts through
1:52.6	April, May, and part of June. So I'll be taking basically 10 weeks off of making new podcasts,
1:58.2	but I'll bring up the best of the best for you in case you haven't
2:02.8	listened to those. And then in June, I will resume recording again. I am speaking at
2:09.1	conferences every single weekend in May, plus two this summer and one at the end of this month.
2:16.1	So I'm going to leave a link to the places that I'm going to be.
2:19.4	I'll leave it in the podcast notes.
