Emily Karc: Motherhood, Anxiety, the kid with a BAD label, & the POWER found in Christ!

 

On this episode of Treehouse Storyteller, I sit down with Emily Karc. She is a wife and mom of two boys. She loves to write and to learn. She homeschools one of her sons which has taught her so much about Jesus. She longs to gift other moms hope and a safe space to meet at Jesus' feet and find they are not as alone as they think they are. She is an author and just released an incredible resource and book.

TAKE AWAYS:

• Finding verses that children can memorize at a young age.
• It’s about relationship, not religion. 
• A struggle with anxiety, shame and depression.
• It’s ok to ask for help, and to receive help, and have accountability.
• Ultimately it is God that heals. 
• Our set-backs, are setups for God.
• Anxiety is a tool of the enemy and not from God.
• ‘You need to be filled up with Jesus, so you can pour out His love.’
• Do not let your kids believe the lies for 18 years.
• Kids labeled ‘BAD’ will simply become bad. 
• 1 in 10 kids struggle with anxiety.
• How to prevent your kids from suffering from the weight of the world.
• Being a parent to your kids, and not just a roommate. 
• Why parenting is so important in today’s culture.
• Social Media and its influence on children.
• We have to talk about the hard things with our kids. If we don’t, the world will.
• Our kids want answers and knowledge, but if we don’t give them truthful and Biblical answers, then they will find answers from someone else, and the world will fill them with lies.
• Jesus power is Enough for you!
• His love will meet you right where you are.

 

Important Values discussed:

• • What we ingest matters, etc. shows we let our kids watch. 
  • Our words matter. They are either bringing death or life.
  • Do not compare yourself. God created you uniquely.
  • Have ‘abnormal faith’, looking at the world’s culture as the odd way to live.
  • We can’t expect our kids to be world changers if we aren’t going to be
  • If you are not rooted in truth, then your kids will not be rooted in truth!

 

BIOGRAPHY:

Emily is a life long lover of the written word. She longs to use the words God gives her to inspire and encourage the women around her to come out from hiding behind their shame and pain, and find that Jesus' love is waiting to light up their life. When not writing, speaking, or advocating for 'the one', she spends her days chasing two young boys with her handsome hubby in eastern PA.
