Matthew 17:24-27 (NIV) After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”“Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” “From others,” Peter answered.“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line.

Episode 153 - Teenagers powered by the Gospel with Greg Stier

“One of life’s greatest blessings is to have a godly mother.  And thus, one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is being a godly mother.”  How do we do this?   On today’s episode Stacy speaks with Jessie Seneca, author, speaker, and founder of More of Him Ministries.  You won’t want to miss a moment as Jessie freely and graciously shares godly wisdom she has gleaned in raising her children.  About our Guest: Jessie Seneca is the founder of More of Him Ministries and the iMOM at home conference. Jessie lives in Bethlehem, PA with her husband, John of 35 years. They have two daughters, Lauren and Sarah and two wonderful son-in-laws. And now add on two grandsons, Luke and Connor (life is full!). Her message inspires women to move into a whole-hearted lifestyle, one devoted fully to God. Jessie’s passion and wisdom is to use the gifts God has given her to speak into the lives of her listeners and readers through her Bible studies and books. While writing her book, Raising Girls, Diaper to Diamond, she had one question at the forefront of her mind, “What do I wish I could tell the younger me?” She doesn’t claim to have all the answers and like most of us, has made mistakes along the way, but her continued desire has been to develop girls into responsible young adults while nurturing a deep friendship with her own daughters. Most days you can find Jessie walking her two golden-doodles, Bella and Murphy or playing with her grandsons.   Scripture:  Deuteronomy 6:5-7 (NIV) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.   Books: “Raising Girls: Diaper to Diamond” by Jessie Seneca “Friendship: Sisters for a Journey” by Jessie Seneca   Links: https://moreofhimministries.org https://moreofhimministries.org/imom-online/ https://momsinprayer.org/motherhood-matters-10-things-i-wish-i-knew/ https://momsinprayer.org/new-to-moms-in-prayer/   To give to the ministry of Moms in Prayer: Support Our Mission | Moms In Prayer International Moms in Prayer International- www.MomsInPrayer.org
