Speaker 1:

We are at war and it's not against our neighbors, spouses, children, politicians or whatever else we feel like we're battling against.

Speaker 2:

So the questions are who's the fight against, and are we winning or losing? We're the Adkins and we are a force to be reckoned with. Are you ready to join the force? Hi, everyone, welcome back. Hope you're having a good week. How's it going over there? Good I was giving cory rapid fire questions the first time we hit record on this, but he wasn't able to deliver, so we cut that. How are you doing?

Speaker 1:

I'm fine, I'm a little hungry.

Speaker 2:

I'm hungry too. I'm really hungry.

Speaker 1:

How are you doing?

Speaker 2:

I'm good. I'm good. This week has been long and it's.

Speaker 1:

Cover this baby's face. The week is young, you know. It is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It is young. You hear those very loud chugs.

Speaker 2:

Corey's feeding the baby, the new, new baby, and we just hope that you guys are all having a good week. We just have a quick episode this week. It's something that we've been kind of sorting through as a family. As you guys know, this podcast is called A Force to be Reckoned With. If you don't know that, how are you here? But it's all about just equipping families to rise up and raise their children up and their marriages up to be a force to be reckoned with out in the world. Um, and so we're navigating that in real time. We're not perfect, we're so far from perfect, and I would say in this, you know, last couple years, we've, we've like, we've been running running in the trenches, and so it's really.

Speaker 1:

Burning both ends of the candle. Isn't that what they say?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and so it's like sometimes it's hard to even show up here because it's like we're a mess. We're literally a mess.

Speaker 1:

But I think that's kind of the. If you hit me with rapid fire questions, I can't answer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I think that's kind of the point, Like we're all just kind of our own little messes and we're all just working hard to figure it out. And I think the point is just don't give up and keep fighting, fighting for your family and just fighting the good fight. So we'll talk to you guys next week, next week. That's a wrap.

Speaker 1:

No, yeah, wouldn't that be funny if that was the episode. Sometimes you just you got to take it one step at a time yeah you know, don't get ahead of yourself. Um, you can. You can get ahead of yourself and either start making plans for things that maybe you know aren't in line with what god wants, or you can start worrying about things that are out of your control too, and at the end of the day, you just got to give it up to him and he'll guide you, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, totally. So this week we're just talking about and I don't even know if this is going to be the title, but I just was brain dumping and entering into a season of Sabbath which sounds so like buzzy and trendy right now, and that's not the point. The point is that you and I both have a tendency to look at the cat, to run ourselves ragged, um, because we're both doers and we don't like sitting still, and we both have a twinge of ADD. Just a twinge.

Speaker 1:

I was actually diagnosed with it back in high school.

Speaker 2:

Our kids are active and we're social people. We like hanging out with our friends, we like doing things, activities, and also the world is so noisy and demanding and there's just so many good things and it's a struggle to figure out what is not. Everything that good has to be a yes, and so that's kind of what we've been like. We've I mean, we've talked about it before but it's just like a constant tension in this world because the kids are getting into activities earlier, they're hanging out with friends earlier, they're more connected because of devices earlier, which is then they're like connected but they're disconnected, and then they're disconnected from us and we're just doing a lot yeah and because the kids are connected.

Speaker 2:

It's a lot more of like the keeping up with the joneses, because kids know more, they have access to the insides of other people's homes like we didn't before. You know, like before, when we were younger, we would go to school, we would talk to our friends, then we would go home and you would kind of be shut off from that world and be brought back to your roots yeah, you don't know.

Speaker 1:

You're not aware of who's going to whose house and what's going on here. No, they had this get together, or whatever.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, or like oh, they're doing this fun event and so now we should do this fun event with our family, because we're boring if we don't and our kids are missing out if we don't, and honestly, it's just all very exhausting, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Sorry.

Speaker 1:

Trying to cover a side of her head.

Speaker 2:

So that's kind of what we're talking about today. We don't really have notes or outlines, but it's just something we've been navigating. I have personally I think that you would agree with this just felt so completely and utterly exhausted by the end of each week, and then, like, sunday will come around and it's like, okay, this week's really really, really busy, but if we can get through this week, then the next week we'll be able to breathe, and then it's just every week. It's like Groundhog's Day. It's the same thing.

Speaker 2:

And so we've been trying to figure out.

Speaker 1:

That's also a way to never give up.

Speaker 2:

What do you mean?

Speaker 1:

I was listening to this Navy SEAL talking about that, about how to get through what they call Hell Week or whatever for the Navy SEAL training. I think it's called something it might not be just called that, anyways and he was talking about how he's like every day he's like you just stuck to these certain disciplines and then, like throughout the day, he was like OK, I just got to make it to breakfast and I just got to make it to lunch, then I just got to make it to dinner and then he would get ready to go to bed. He's like I just got to make it to tomorrow and he said every day wasn't about not quitting.

Speaker 2:

It was just. I'm reading this book right now, called Alongside. I got it at a conference that I just went to and it's actually about loving teenagers with the gospel, and we've recently stepped into high school ministry at our church and I had I bought this book just on a whim, because we're also getting into the parenting phase of almost parenting a teen teen. We're like six months away from that crazy um. But in this chapter it's talking about solitude is the furnace of transformation and um, he just says. I could honestly read the whole chapter, but I won't.

Speaker 2:

When I carefully read the gospels, I'm struck by how the son of God regularly positioned himself alone before his father. When we look at the miracles of Jesus, a clear pattern develops. It happens with almost everyone recorded in the gospels. But let's revisit one particular instance. It talks about when he's healing the leper and we're told, very early in the morning, while it was still dark, jesus got up, he left the house and he went off to a solitary place where he prayed and then, three verses later, jesus healed the leper. As soon as the healing takes place, both Mark and Luke record the same thing about Jesus' next steps. Despite Jesus' plea that his miracles be kept secret. The news about him spread all the more so the crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sickness. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Before the miracle. And after the miracle, what did Jesus do? He soaked in the brine, he sat in the sun, he spent solo time with his father and it's not only recorded in the miracle of the leper, it's all over the gospels. Before he walked on water, he spent the whole night in a prayer vigil. Before he calmed the storm, he was resting in his father's arms. Before he began casting demons out of a boy, he was fasting and praying. Before he went to the cross, he was on his knees in the garden in communion with the father. And even before his ministry began, he spent 40 days on a solo trip in the wilderness. His ministry flowed out of solitude and his life was lived in a posture of trust in the father. Okay, so that is so good.

Speaker 2:

There's another little excerpt that I want to share, just fast forwarding a little bit. But one thing to pull out from that that I just love is that he was like performing all these miracles, okay, and people were like fangirling him, you know and we're like, oh my gosh, heal me, heal me, heal me. And how many of us? We just live for that, for that praise and that recognition, and so then it makes us want to stay. But even in those moments where he was so sought after, he still found those moments of solitude to be with the Lord and being quiet. And so fast.

Speaker 2:

Forwarding just one little piece, it says in 1 Kings 1, 19, 11 through 13. I'm sorry, 1 Kings 19, 11 through 13, which we did a podcast on this a couple years ago, we see that the Lord doesn't typically scream to get our attention. The Lord said go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by. Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Speaker 2:

Our willingness to give in to distractions is often prompted by our fear of missing out. We need to know what's going on in the world, what's happening with our friends and what the next cultural craze is. We don't want to miss out on anything. Could it be that our distractions are keeping us from missing out on the most important thing God himself?

Speaker 1:

that's that's so good that's it you know what's funny? Yeah, the devotional that I was doing is called redeeming your time yeah and today's devotional I did this morning.

Speaker 1:

It was um, about busyness versus being hurried, and I'm just going to read a little section. It says the life of jesus and his disciples was, was busy, but, as my friend John Mark Comer has pointed out, jesus never came across hurried. Jesus was busy, but never in a way that made him frantic, anxious, irritable, proud, envious or distracted by lesser things. So what's the difference between busyness and hurry? Busyness is having a lot of meetings on your calendar. Hurry is scheduling those meetings back to back, forcing you to sprint from one to the next without enough time to think. Busyness is having a lot of errands to run. Hurry is getting mad about choosing the wrong line at the grocery store because you have no margin for the 30 seconds you lost by choosing lane three over four.

Speaker 2:

So guilty of that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I'm just going to finish up. It says busyness is attending three Bible studies a week. Hurry is not having enough time in stillness to listen to God's voice in between those studies. How can we be busy without being hurried? We must be good at counting the cost of our time.

Speaker 2:

That's so good and that's the whole like wrestling that we have is that there's so many good things. There's so many good things that we can do and, like there are so many, even what it said in there, there's so many Bible studies I would love to do. But if we're spreading ourselves too thin and we're not giving our best to what we have on our plate, then we're no good for who we're trying to serve and we're not getting, I think, what God wants us to get out of the opportunities that we have, because we're spread too thin and then we're resentful and we're exhausted and we're depleted. And that is not like. Jesus did not perform these miracles from a place of depletion. He continuously went back to God to fill him up, to lead him and guide him, and then he went and performed miracles and then he went back afterward as well to rest. And we just don't in America build that margin into our lives anymore.

Speaker 1:

I think that our culture has just gotten so far from it and it's become so normal, because the new keeping up with the Joneses isn't necessarily the house or the car or the material things, it's the sports and the activities and the clubs and the social hours, and those will drain you yeah, yeah, and that's where I think, when we're trying to not be complacent so in the process of trying to not be complacent and lazy and just sitting around and coming home from work and watching TV and not hanging out with our kids and all that stuff, we become busy, but we're not discerning in what that busyness is and we don't allow ourselves the margin. So being busy in and of itself isn't a bad thing. It's what are you busy doing and what's the intention behind it and do you allow yourself margin?

Speaker 1:

To margin to rest, to be brought back to Jesus.

Speaker 2:

And then so I would order these. These are like good talking points and what you're saying, like are you allowing yourself enough margin to bring yourself back to the feet of Jesus, to rest so that you can go out into the world and serve and to steward Well what you've already committed to those?

Speaker 1:

are the three things.

Speaker 2:

And if you can ask those things and say, yes, I'm being brought back to the feet of Jesus, I am rested and I'm serving from a full cup and, yeah, I'm being a great steward of what's on my plate already, then I think that you're in a good spot.

Speaker 1:

And what's your intention behind it? And is it taking, does it take away from those necessary things?

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Like does it take away from your time being spent in the Word and praying? Does it take away from your time of being a good steward of your health Right, your physical health? Does it take away from your finances? Are you spending a bunch of money on all these, on clubs or whatever, or activities, and all these on clubs or whatever? Or activities and all these things so that would be category three.

Speaker 2:

So, like I know, for me, if I'm answering those questions, I would say yeah, I'm being pretty diligent and being brought back to the feet of jesus. I've been the word every day. Arrest. I probably would say no to that because I'm I'm well, I'm resting to the best of my ability. We have babies right now, so I guess could say yes to that, but I am trying to go to bed earlier. But then three am I stewarding what's on my plate already? Well, the answer for me is no, and that's where we've been wrestling and we're like, okay, we've got to change something.

Speaker 2:

And to give you just practical examples of what that looks like for me.

Speaker 1:

One other thing before you give the practical is also like what is your intention behind the things you're doing? Is there a true purpose and intention behind it? Right, Like, are you putting your kids in multiple sports just to keep up with everybody else? You don't want them to get behind?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I'm even talking about just the basics or anything like currently what my non-negotiable commitments are.

Speaker 2:

It's obviously to be a wife and a mom, and I'll come back to that. But then I have a full-time job that I work and I have a business that I run, and so I need to ensure that I'm running the business well and being a good steward of the business and also my employees, and I'll say like I've been so scattered and I need to do better at that Same thing with my job. When I know that I'm not doing those basic things well, then I know like, okay, I can't possibly add anything more. But even more than that, the stirring that's been the most for me recently has been like, above everything else, I know I'm called to be a wife and a mom in our house.

Speaker 2:

I've just felt this like strong pull not to be back home like a homemaker but to do the things that matter, like sitting down and having family dinners and like cooking good, healthy meals and having those evenings evenings of margin where we're like on the couch and we're not so burned out that we feel like we just need to scroll on our phones and not engage in conversation but actually be interacting with our kids and reading books and doing things that like pour them, pour into them and build them up. And then also I think that rest it's obviously rest is so important and so like things that I've just completely cut off for years and years and years, which I've been trying to do better at, is for me like embroidering those sweaters that I've been doing I added that back on because that's like enjoyable and an outlet and restful to me and, and you know, baking with the girls. Those are things that I just don't ever make time for anymore, but it's like those things matter. We're investing in our kids and in their lives and then other things I could go on and on, but like other things are just taking care of the house. I don't want to scramble every week and like rush to put away laundry, rushed hurriedly, and be stressed out about it.

Speaker 2:

I would like to be in a place where I can enjoy cleaning this office and I do it with joy in my heart and, you know, stewarding what I have and taking care of the things that I have and being organized and having systems like being taking true care of the home, and I just feel like we have been in a season where we are go, go, go, go go from one sport event to the next, that it's so reactive. Then we get to the end of the week, we're depleted, we're exhausted, we haven't spent time with our kids and our house is destroyed and it's just like we just have it so backwards, not to mention we're not even spending quality time with our friends or community or loving our neighbors. Well, how many times have our neighbors walked by?

Speaker 1:

and we're so exhausted by the end of the day and we're just running out the door and like we want to engage with these people because they're great people and we're just like we're busy, we're busy and it's just like we have it so backward and I think that some of it is spurred out of habits and of us being in survival mode, really like last year, you know, starting in the fall and then in the in the spring, with just the number of kids that we had and we were doing the right things, but, like a lot of, it was just like a scrapping to have any time to be, even just have solitude, time to not think about anything.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And we not only do. We have them running around to multiple sports as coaching multiple sports, we have multiple kids in sports and all the things, and not that the sports are bad, but it's just what's the intention behind it? What season are you in? What does your family need? You know all of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I just think, as America gets further and further from Christian values, the Christian life feels so inside out from the rest of the world, and that's hard, but it's also something that we just have to be okay with and remember that it just is what it is. And so, talking about entering into this season, we haven't had a year or an upcoming season like the one that we're about to have in years and you're coaching three teams and it's exhausting and you love it and it's great for the kids, but it's a lot.

Speaker 2:

It's a lot. And this year Carter's in middle school, liberty's not doing travel basketball and we just you're not coaching and Carter's just playing. We're going to get to go attend the games and we just have our jobs, the business, foster care and sports and for us that's a really lean slow season.

Speaker 1:

And the high school ministry. So we just analyzed it, because Liberty had an opportunity to play accelerated travel basketball like Carter did, and we just looked at it and we're like you know what. I think that we have an opportunity here for a slower season and our time is being prioritized in other places, and I just think that it's we need a season of that Not saying that sports are a bad thing at all, cause you guys have heard us talk on here about the benefits that we've had from sports, whether it's, you know, just the life skills that it teaches our kids, and also the community that we've had from it too.

Speaker 1:

And the people we've gotten to know and develop, that we cherish now too, but just for this season of life right now. Like I think that's where you need to look at. It's like, okay, what are the intentions, what does your family need right now? And just weigh the pros and cons of it, and it's okay to take a break, you know, especially when they're young and just weigh the pros and cons of it and it's okay to take a break, especially when they're young.

Speaker 2:

And it's needed, I think and we could do a whole other episode on this but I think that sports are starting so young and it's unnecessary, but because they're starting young, you feel like your kid is missing out. I've talked about this a lot With many parents that.

Speaker 2:

I'm friends with Is they're like we didn't want to start and so we didn't start them, and now they're, you know, in sixth grade and we feel like they're behind and it really is just. It's so unfortunate because those younger years it's. It's so crucial to have that family time, and I'm not saying that sports are a bad thing, but there are things at home that we miss out on when we're outside of the home, even just sitting down and having dinner together or reading books together or playing outside together and making those memories.

Speaker 1:

And I think it's very nuanced too and it's individual to each family, because everybody's in a different boat, everybody's in different seasons and has different life things going on. So I don't, I don't think that the motivation shouldn't be I need to do sports because my kid is going to miss out. I mean, let's be honest here, the odds are against any kid playing one, playing like a division one, college sport. The statistics are against them. And the statistics are even more against them going professional in a sport. But it's are against them and the statistics are even more against them going professional in a sport, but it's like what? So what's the intention behind it? Because I'm also not saying you shouldn't pursue that if that's something that you feel like your, your kid, is called to do.

Speaker 1:

But also, even if you look at Michael Jordan, you look at Kobe stories, you look at a lot of professional, different professional athletes. I mean, uh, what's um Giannis? Giannis Antetokounmpo, the one NBA players, one MVP. He didn't even play basketball until he was like in middle school, so, like you, don't have to start that young. And how many look at it this way too? How many people did you go to school with that when you were in elementary school and they were like great. And then by the time you got to high school, they weren't like the best player anymore.

Speaker 2:

Yeah too.

Speaker 1:

So even from that perspective, I think, especially when they're young, it's OK to not do it. And then what's the intention behind it? And then this is coming from somebody that loves sports, coaches, sports, like all of those things you just what's the intention, what's the motivation behind it? Because even when we had talked about a perspective shift on the previous episode but like even my perspective shifted on sports and my coaching is that when I'm coaching, I'm not coaching the next NBA player, you know, and if some, or WNBA player, if some kid comes through, that I coach and ends up there, great. But that's not the intention. The intention is teaching them how to be good citizens and teaching them life skills like teamwork and encouragement and working hard and and learning to win and things like that. Um, but so it's like what? What's your motivation and what's your intention behind it? Is it the right season and are you being busy just to be busy?

Speaker 2:

yeah, yeah. So in closing, um, I just want to share practically kind of what we're doing, to be intentional in this season coming up, that we know that it's going to be a little bit slower and we want to use it to pour into our family and to build up our family so that we can go out into the world and be that force to be reckoned with One of the big things. Well, I have a little excerpt from this book again. Just he's talking about meals and he just talks about how in Jewish culture, sharing a meal together was the ultimate sign of friendship and how intimate it was and just the importance of having meals together. And he says that there's this sociologist that he's talking about and he discovered statistical proof that the loss of the table has had quantifiable negative effects, both physically and psychologically, on families and children.

Speaker 2:

He found the same answer to the following six questions and he just asked a bunch of questions like what is the number one factor for parents raising kids who are drug-free, healthy, intelligent, kind human beings? What's the number one shaper parents raising kids who are drug-free, healthy, intelligent, kind human beings? What's the number one shaper of vocabulary in younger children? What's the number one predictor of future academic success. What's one of the best safeguards against childhood obesity, eating disorders, um, and lower incidence of depressive and suicidal thoughts and the like? Most common answer was frequent family dinners, and I just think that we forget the power of that and just the small conversations with our kids and the small moments with our kids. I know I do Like I think I have to have these big moments with my kids and really it's just like just put your phone down.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and we went through a season of like being, of eating big moments with my kids and really it's just like, just put your phone down, yeah, and we went through a season of like being eating at our table and stuff and then we got away from it. I miss it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but so practically what this looks like is we've gotten to gotten into a rhythm with some friends of ours where and it's kind of just happened, naturally with the slowing down of sports where we have family dinners on friday with another family, we just kind of throw stuff together, we decide what we're gonna bring, I'll bring some stuff, they'll have stuff, and then we feed all of our kids we've had lots of state. The kids, you know, play together. We're, you know, hanging out and just enjoying each other's time, and it's super casual, like.

Speaker 2:

Like sometimes I come in, I've come in pajamas and slippers sometimes you've brought your pajamas and slippers yeah, and and I think I brought maya in her pajamas once, because the intention isn't we're gonna stay until 11 o'clock at night. The intention is we're coming, we're, we're basically breaking ourselves into the weekend to start our sabbath of like. This is the moment of starting our weekend of rest. We're spending time as a family and community and letting our kids spend time together, and then we're hanging out for a little bit, and then we're gonna go home at a good time and still get into bed early and get our kids into bed early, and even you and I can then spend time together in the evenings you know, and then Saturdays have the last it's only been a few weeks, have naturally kind of opened up and just been a time for us to be home, get caught up on the housework, which sounds like.

Speaker 2:

But I enjoy those days so much, just getting caught up and feeling like, okay, we're taking care of what we have, we're stewarding this well, we're getting caught up on the laundry. I can throw on some worship music, I can play, I can turn on like light up some candles or diffuse some oil so the house smells good, we can open the windows and it's just like very, very, very rest, restful, and we're trying to intentionally not schedule things on that day I want to say one thing on that too.

Speaker 1:

That we've tried to do better at is making sure that our kids were there, because there's been especially when we were busy and feeling like we don't want our kids to miss out too, like we've let them go to friends houses and stuff like that. So we've tried to be more intentional, while even if we're just having a day home, like having our kids there whether it's picking them up early if they stayed the night at a friend's house, or just not them not going somewhere so that they could spend time with us- yeah, because there's so many opportunities for our kids to have fun outside of the home and that's great, but also we want to be the fun for our kids Like we and I want to spend time with them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like we want to spend time with them and we want our family culture to be fun. We don't want our kids to feel like, oh, saturday's cleaning day, I could. I got to do everything I can to not be there, but like we want our culture to be fun at home and our kids to look forward to being there and feel comfortable and safe and like cozy.

Speaker 1:

You know, sometimes we miss the ball on that.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

But it's just, it's trying to keep it as a part of their normal rhythm. Hey, one other thing I want to say that I thought was cool it was a nice perspective too about this and since we're talking about Sabbath, was that I remember somebody telling me this years ago and I and I don't know it's if what they told me was exactly true, but it did help me to think of it in a different way. But somebody had said that when you look at the 10 commandments and it says you know, you shall not, that there was a translation that was do thyself no harm. And I don't know if that actually is an actual translation, but if you think of them that way in a perspective, it makes you. It's kind of cool, cause it's not just like God saying don't do this, don't do that, like because I mean he does say that, but why? Because there's natural consequences if you don't, so do thyself no harm. So it was like do thyself no harm, have no other gods before me, do thyself no harm. So it's like there's natural consequences.

Speaker 1:

If you don't honor your father or mother, if you commit murder, right, all of these things, you're harming yourself, you're harming others too, but you're also harming yourself. So if you look at it, if the Sabbath like, even though we live under, you know Jesus came and fulfilled the law so we don't have to have the ritualistic, you know we're going to go to jail or whatever or get stoned if we don't keep the Sabbath Right. But God made the Sabbath for us to take rest and it can be on a Saturday, it can be on a Sunday, it can be on a Friday Heck, it could be on a Saturday, it can be on a Sunday, it can be on a Friday Heck, it could be on a Tuesday, it doesn't matter what your schedule is.

Speaker 2:

It's about having the heart behind it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the heart the intention and making the time behind it, because it actually God said that, because it helps you and benefits you and your family.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so, anyway, that's what we're learning and working on right now. We'll keep you posted. Maybe we'll do a reel or something about one of our Sabbath days and maybe we won't. So we hope that you guys have a good week. We will talk to you next week and, yeah, bye.
