 Join us today for our story with Lisa Haines. Our word today is DREAMS. Lisa is on the media team at Influence Church and she also is the producer of our podcasts. Many of you have lost your dreams. But God wants to breathe life back into your dreams.

Bethany is the Community Pastor at Influence Church.  Bethany is a woman of strength, valor and a heart of leadership for God.  Bethany grew up in Japan as a Pastor’s kid.  Leadership was modeled in her home.  Tammy asks Bethany to talk about kids today because some kids are so disrespectful today.  In order to raise kids up today, Jesus has to be at the center and at the center of it has to be the Word of God.
Tammy asks “What are you doing with your children to respect and honor?”  Bethany’s answer is so good about “talk time.”  You don’t want to miss it.  So many great questions from Tammy and so many great answers from Bethany.
The next generation is on our watch.  Will you be the leader that God has called you to be?

We live in a crazy world today and we are looking for someone to lead.  We lack leadership.  So how do we become strong leaders?  Are we becoming a spineless society?  What are the qualities, traits and attributes of good leadership?  We can find it in the Word of God.  So what were some good qualities of leadership in the past so we can learn what they are for today?  Tammy is going to walk us through the book of Nehemiah to equate leadership with Nehemiah.  This is such great wisdom for us today. First you have to have a burden, second you have to look for the blessing - what did Nehemiah do, who do we go to? Third expect bullying.  Leadership looks for builders.  You must have a strategy and you can get that strategic plan from God.  The enemy can’t fight against the army of God.  WE MUST STAND STRONG!  3 questions all leaders must ask themselves.  1.  What do you want on your watch?  2.  Why do you want it?  3.  How will you go about getting it?

Tammy interviews Emma Birlea who is on the Influence Church staff, does a lot of our social media, helps with Women of Influence clothing line and Emma has a great legacy given to her from her parents.  Emma was born in Romania.  
Tammy asks Emma:  “What did you feel when the war broke out?”,  “Did you grow up with fear or war?”, “What is the difference between America and Romania and what the mindset is?”
 
Listen to Emma’s interesting flashback response.  
How do we fight on the front lines of America?  How else can we fight for truth as a millennial?
 

Join Tammy as she shares about the work Influence Church is doing in Ukraine and missionary work. In the interview, Tammy speaks with Jen Ramlet, Tammy's daughter and a missions pastor on why is Influence Church in Ukraine, and what are we doing? Jen is involved with numerous organizations, including Teen Challenge, Boys and Girls Club, and Salvation Army.

 Remember Jesus said …”Go and make disciples.” I love Jen’s heart how she saw parents saying goodbye to their wives because men have to stay and fight and women and children have to flee their country.  They don’t even know if they will ever see their husband and home again.  Jen understood that it was her role to reach out and help people in need because as followers of Christ, we are to extend a hand when someone is suffering.

Kelly has a law background and is the Director of Independent Learning Academy (ILA) a ministry to the homeschooling community that will help to equip students with skills, knowledge, and opportunities that will prepare them for success and independence as young adults. Our vision is one that embraces and encompasses the whole child and provides them with an innovative curriculum, classes, and structure that gives them a different paradigm of education in which to thrive and express themselves.  

Right now there is an intentional effort on your children with LGBTQ and introducing drag queens to read to our children. Tammy asks the question "Whose Kids Are They Anyway?”  Listen to Kelly’s response.  Tammy asks "What do we do to not instill fear?”  Listen to Kelly’s response.  So many other questions and great responses.

We all know there is something wrong going on in our schools today.  They are teaching our kids things that they don’t need to know early on.  Our job is to train up our children. Tammy looks at Matthew 18:1-6 Who is the greatest in the Kingdom?  Why did Jesus use a child to teach about the Kingdom of God?
 
We are robbing the simplicity and innocence of children today.  Why should a 5-year-old have to ask those questions that are being taught to them?  Instead, we need to teach them to know righteousness and prayer.  We don’t ever want to instill fear in our children.  Therefore, see what ways you can teach them joy and not fear.
