7-Ten Ways to Have Your Best Life!

Moms, here is a fresh look into the ten best ways to have your best life. In this podcast, our host, Jennifer Bosma, a faith-based mom and Christian children's book author, invites you to reflect upon the ever-relevant Ten Commandments from an insightful new perspective. Jennifer examines each commandment, providing valuable real-world examples that relate to parents' modern experiences, helping listeners apply these timeless rules in their journey as mothers and Christians. Sit back, relax, and prepare to gain fresh insight into these commandments that will lead you into your best life.
Jennifer has spent 23 years as a teacher and is now sharing her expertise and passion in nurturing children’s spiritual growth with fellow moms. She will give you invaluable guidance for how to live a Christian life in alignment with biblical principles. As you listen while doing household chores, on a drive or merely enjoying some quiet time, find comfort in knowing you aren't alone in your quest to be the best mom and role model possible.
The episode begins with a brief history of how Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, providing a strong foundation for the discussion that follows. Jennifer creatively calls them the 'original ten,' emphasizing that these are commandments, not mere suggestions. She simplifies and breaks down each commandment, allowing moms to develop a deeper understanding and connection with these ancient divine laws.
Jennifer’s refreshing take on the Ten Commandments challenges listeners to review their perception of God and morality. She asks soul-stirring questions, encouraging reflection on what our 'God' might be and highlights the importance of putting God first. The episode further navigates the concepts of idol worship, respecting God's name, the sanctity of life, loyalty in relationships, honesty, and gratitude. Jennifer insightfully illustrates how the commandments help maintain peace and stability in life.
The session wraps with the Jewish prayer Shema, emphasizing the significance of loving God with all our heart and soul, and teaching our children to do the same. Jennifer passionately challenges all faith-based moms to share the 'Original Ten' with their children as life lessons for their spiritual and moral development.
Don’t miss the opportunity to find clarity on these global moral norms rooted in religion. Join Jennifer for a heart-warming session and learn to apply these timeless commandments in your life as a faithful follower of Christ.

Abiding in Jesus - Strengthening Your Spiritual Connection

Welcome, moms! In Episode 6, we discuss an important question many of us grapple with - Does God seem distant to you? Indeed, how can we bring Him closer to our lives and hearts?
Are you striving to lead a Christ-centered life for your family? Would you like to have a more profound impact on your child's spiritual growth? Tune in to this podcast for insightful ways to deepen your faith and learn how to be the ultimate wife and mother. Let's embark on this spiritual journey together with a short, concise message.
Moving on to our core topic - relationships and vineyards. I draw parallels between an interpersonal relationship and our connection with God. What if we viewed our relationship with the God as the gardener, Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches? By cutting off distractions (sucker shoots) and staying attached to the vine, we can grow and bear fruit in our spiritual lives and become closer to Jesus in the process.
This podcast also reveals three effective practices to stay connected with Jesus and nurture our spiritual growth. Firstly, we can invite God into our lives through prayer. Secondly, gathering resources to boost our faith also helps to facilitate this growth. Go to my website for some excellent suggestions. Lastly, engaging in group studies - such as the one at Front Parking Spot Moms - can foster spiritual development and community engagement.
Remember, we must strive to truly abide in Jesus, soak in His presence, and let Him drive our lives. By doing so, we can ensure that our spiritual growth doesn't rot but flourishes into bountiful fruit. So, brace yourselves, mamas, as we together embark on this journey for the front parking spot in our extraordinary lives.
