It’s the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!!! It’s Christmastime! And we’re celebrating hard over here at Raising Sinners!

The story of Jesus’ birth seems to come alive every year at this time as parents, grandparents, friends, and family tell the story from Luke chapter 2.  Every time we open God’s word to read the account, it seems like it refreshes itself and becomes anew.  That’s the truth of God’s word, isn’t it? It’s always fresh and comes alive.  And the Christmas story is no different. 

By gathering to tell the story, you’re giving Jesus a seat at your table.  You’re inviting Him into your celebration and making much of Him, the Guest of honor.  As we tell the story, we’re being faithful to the generations behind us who are depending on us to repeat and repeat the message of Christ’s birth to redeem mankind.  Oh, what a story! Oh, what a Savior!

We wish you and yours a blessed Christmas and a VERY Happy 2024!

As always, thanks for listening! We appreciate you!

Lisa and Chrissie

December is here and we are excited over here at the Raising Sinners Podcast! We celebrate BIG!!! On this episode you’ll hear us share some favorite memories of days gone by, traditions we began with our own children and fun things we continue to do with our grands. 

For the Christian parent, the month of December is full of opportunities to point our children and community to Christ.  So, we want to be intentional and prepared! Feeling wheels off already? Too many obligations? Take a breath.  Refocus.  Pull out your Bible and start drawing near to Jesus. 

So often we forget the guest of honor! Remember who this month is all about in the first place! It’s Jesus! Whisper His name.  Invite Him in.  Leave space at your table.  And celebrate big! The Savior has come!

Thanks for joining us for this episode of RAISING SINNERS!

Today our guest, Katy Boatman, chats with us about her new devotional for boys, “You Can Trust.” We were fascinated listening to Katy discuss how she landed on this writing project.  (You’ll have to listen to find out…☺)

Preteen boys have a lot of thoughts spinning through their curious minds each day.  But too often, their “what-if” questions are rooted in fear and anxiety as they try to find their way in a world that doesn’t always make sense.  This easy-to-read devotional by Katy Boatman offers daily encouragement and truths to combat that worry.  Each of the 100 devotions, plus interactive activity days, (which sound super fun!) rallies boys to trust the God who has all the answers.  They’ll explore questions such as:

What if I don’t feel strong enough?

What if I’m scared?

What if my team loses?

What if God changes His mind about me?

“You Can Trust” offers boys tangible reminders that they can trust God with all their what-ifs and questions in life.

Katy lives in Nashville, is passionate about mentoring the next generation and authored a devotional book, “You Can Rest,” for girls which was a finalist in the category of “Young People’s Literature for the ECPA’S 2023 CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD. “Check it out, too!
