031 - Flip the Script: Turning Negative Thoughts into Life-Giving Truths (with Bill & Stephanie Lammers)27 Jul42 min

<p>Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, perfectionism, or the persistent lie that you&#39;re just &quot;not enough&quot;? In this episode of the <em>Life Parenting</em> podcast, we sit down with returning guests Bill and Stephanie Lammers to discuss their new book, <em>Flip the Script</em>. They share the powerful story behind the book—a journey that began more than 30 years ago when Bill learned to move beyond the crushing weight of perfectionism and fear by identifying the lies he believed and intentionally replacing them with the truth found in God&#39;s Word.</p><p>Whether you&#39;re struggling personally, navigating challenges in your marriage, or looking for ways to better support your children, this conversation offers practical wisdom for reframing your perspective. We explore how to move beyond simply trying to &quot;do better&quot; and instead discover your mission, cultivate gratitude, and view every difficulty as an opportunity for growth.</p><p>As parents, we have the incredible privilege of helping shape the narratives our children believe about themselves. This episode will equip you to recognize the lies that can take root in a child&#39;s heart—such as &quot;I&#39;ll never be good enough,&quot; &quot;I&#39;m a failure,&quot; or &quot;No one loves me&quot;—and replace them with the life-giving truth of God&#39;s Word. You&#39;ll gain practical ideas for coaching your children through disappointment, mistakes, and fear so they develop a biblical identity grounded in who God says they are rather than what the world tells them. When parents learn to flip the script in their own lives, they become better equipped to help their children do the same, building resilient, faith-filled kids who can face life&#39;s challenges with confidence and hope.</p><p>Join us for an encouraging conversation that will help you stop being paralyzed by the narratives in your head—and empower your family to live in the freedom and purpose God designed for each of you.</p><p><br></p><p>Rich &amp; Julie Young, hosts</p><p>Bill &amp; Stephanie Lammers, Growing Families leaders, authors of Flip the Script</p><p><br></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.getflipthescript.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flip the Script Website</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://a.co/d/c0XexgI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Get your copy of Flip the Script</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flip-the-script/id6747260755" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flip the Script App in the App Store</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wildfireleadership.flipthescript&pcampaignid=web_share" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flip the Script App in the Google Play Store</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/getflipthescript/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flip the Script on Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>Resources Mentioned in the Episode:</p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/resources-life-series#Visit-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Virtue/Vice Resource</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/life-in-the-middle-years-blog/2018/5/31/myv2-03s-virtue-vice-and-parenting-messages?rq=virtue%20vice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Virtue/Vice Video Teaching</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Parenting from the Tree of Life material</a></p><p><br></p><p>More episodes with the Lammers:</p><p>Episode 12: Implementing Couch Time, Speaking Life, and Community with Four Kids (a discussion with Bill &amp; Stephanie Lammers)</p><p>→ <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0FJLAKf4Ux07vTkDHIZg3g?si=ef0369c2c25747bd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Spotify</a> // <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-parenting-podcast/id1774999134?i=1000700540048" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Apple Podcasts</a> // <a hr
