Poppy Smith’s I’m Too Young to Be This Old (Harvest House, ISBN# 978-0736950268) shows women how to face their changing lives with a spirit of fun and fearlessness. We’ll talk with Jackie M. Johnson about Powerful Prayers for Challenging Times (Revell, ISBN# 978-0-8007-2139-8). And we wrap up with Dale Cramer’s latest novel in The Daughters of Caleb Bender series, Though Mountains Fall (Bethany House, ISBN# 978-0764208409).

But she also knows the One who fully understands suffering and heart pain – because God willingly gave up His Son to die for us.

God promises love, goodness, purpose, comfort, peace, refinement, restoration, hope and eternity, and He doesn’t’ ask anyone to walk alone.

Ask the Life Coach

wbcl@wbcl.org (WBCL Radio) — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 EST

Do you ever want to say JUST TELL ME WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?!?!?!? Life Coach Robin Chaddock gets it. Life can be a confusing conglomeration of gifts, talents, weaknesses, fears, and failures that leave people wondering where they fit in and how they can use what God gave them - to His glory. This Christian life coach brings not only wise counsel, but biblical counsel, and we'll open the phone lines, email, and Facebook for the entire hour to take your questions about how to embrace the life God has given you.

Parenting

wbcl@wbcl.org (WBCL Radio) — Mon, 13 May 2013 00:00:00 EST

Jill Savage says being a mother is not for those who display symptoms of the "Perfection Infection." In fact, she encourages women to embrace the No More Perfect Moms (Moody, ISBN# 978-0-8024-0637-8) mentality and learn how God's grace covers the real but imperfect life. She'll open our parenting show with her insights on learning to love your real life, and then Kathi Lipp shares some of her 21 Ways to Connect with Your Kids (Harvest House, ISBN# 978-0736929677). This straightforward, workable plan gives you new avenues to do more than just check on your kids. And we wrap up the hour with Lisa T. Bergren, author of Upside Down Prayers for Parents (WaterBrook, ISBN# 978-0-307-95583-8), which reframes your thinking away from only prayers of protection into prayers for whatever graces they need to live well for God in the midst of struggle.

A mom writes “Help--my 5-year-old wants to have a ‘boyfriend’ and won’t stop chasing boys!”

Mother's Day

wbcl@wbcl.org (WBCL Radio) — Fri, 10 May 2013 00:00:00 EST

Mother's Day was created to be a day of celebration...honoring the mothers who gave us life. But along the way, it's become a day of great pain for many women: those who long to be mothers and still wait for that dream to come true...those who have said goodbye to babies...those who have kissed their mothers goodbye...those who have strained relationships with their mothers. Catherine Hickem helps us open this special show by addressing the hurts that often get overlooked on this day, and then we spend the rest of the hour chatting with you. Share a tribute with us...to your mother...to someone who became a mother to you in the absence of your own. Join us as we turn a tender heart toward mothers!

BLT!

You all had us IN STITCHES last Thursday, talking about all the words you and your dear loved ones can’t say correctly. From “abdominal” snowmen to “southmores” (you know, sophomores?), we had the best time hearing your faves...so much so, that we’re going to do it again this week! And we want to know more words that need to exist to describe the currently indescribable! We’ll keep the phones, Facebook and email open another week to continue the fun. Join us!!
