Julie Parido has always had a passion for learning scripture. Now, that passion includes planting scripture into the heart of her own children. From juggling time as a busy mom to meeting the differing developmental needs of all of her children, Julie has built a list of resources and practices that work for her family. Her own projects include using art to memorize scripture, creating family devotional time, and using specific verses to help with discipline and building moral constructs. While she like all moms is far from perfect, she has worked hard to build the foundation of teaching her children the wisdom and devotion of the beautiful Word of God.

Psalm 92:14 &15 – They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

Our world has been through a lot in 2020 (I think that’s the understatement of the century). First, we had the COVID Crisis; and then here in America, a palpable change in racial tension. After my last episode The Next Right Thing, I realized that my next right thing was to LISTEN. I wanted to give you that opportunity as well. I met with the amazing women of Faith Mamas, who graciously and bravely gave their time and their words to describe their experiences with racism, racial reconciliation, identity, and the faithfulness of our God even in uncertain times like these.

• The questions of this conversation include:
  • What are your favorite things about African American Culture?
  • Define racism. What has it looked like in your life?
  • Building a strong identity is pivotal to seeing our true value through Jesus. Describe how racism has affected how you view your value as a person. How has God helped you grow from that?
  • What are some ways for people to show respect to African American people and culture?
  • As a parent, how can we help our children grow up to defend, love, and respect all ethnicities well?
  • In our world’s climate, there is so much lost hope right now. What examples of hope has God provided for you in this time?
  • Despite all of the horrible things happening right now, is God still faithful? How has He shown that faithfulness to you?

2 Timothy 1:7 – For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

1 John 4:7 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

Luke 10:27 – And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
