Simply Living for Him
Simply Living for Him
Karen DeBeus
On this podcast, I talk about all things simple-life on our hobby farm, homeschooling, and always about Jesus! I believe the remedy for clutter and chaos in our world, is Jesus. The more we desire Him, the less we desire the things of this world, and the easier it is to live more simply.
How Can You Keep Your Children on the Right Path?
I truly think this is one of (maybe THE) most important podcasts I have ever recorded. I have been asked this question many times recently and wanted to answer it today. Some of it may surprise you. Let's sit down and talk about how we can keep our children on the right path. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/20/how-can-you-keep-your-children-on-the-right-path/

There is No Picture-Perfect Life
Our world is consumed with aesthetics and beauty. But what if God's plan for our lives includes some things that aren't so pretty? Life isn't ever picture-perfect, but the most beautiful life is the one that is lived shining the Light of Christ. Today I am catching you up on life around here and then we are digging into this very important topic! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/13/there-is-no-picture-perfect-life/

Not Doing Enough? Me Either
Literally, every single one of my homeschool clients has made the statement to me, "I feel like I'm not doing enough" or, "I'm failing my children." And even if you aren't a homeschool mom, I can imagine most of you have said these statements at some point about something in your life. Today, we are going to really dig into that statement and turn it on its head as we look at Who is enough: Jesus. We are NOT enough. We can not DO enough. But in Him, we do the things He has called us to and by His power alone. Apart from Him, we do not good things. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/29/not-doing-enough-me-either/

Sharing Jesus at Walmart
A few months back we started the Simply Go! initiative here at Simply Living for Him to encourage and equip everyday women in their everyday lives to be on mission for Jesus. The world is hurting and we have the answer. You don't have to travel far to find someone who needs Jesus. You can go right outside your door. Recently I was intrigued when a Facebook friend of mine started posting about her experiences with sharing Jesus every week right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is a homeschool mom with nine children but is stepping out in obedience to the Lord right where she is! I decided to ask her to be on the podcast and talk about her experience as it fits right in with the Simply Go! initiative! You are going to be inspired by this beautiful woman and her courage to be bold, right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is changing lives! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/22/finding-god-in-the-walmart-parking-lot-ep-214/

Live a Life You Don't Need a Vacation From
Today we are talking about living a life you don't need a vacation from. Yes, we all work hard, and the Bible tells us we are to work, but what on earth are you working for? Are you striving for earthly things or eternal things? Are you building the Kingdom of God or an earthly kingdom that will eventually fall? Join me today as we talk about simplifying, what we really need, and not working to accumulate stuff but to fulfill our God-given purposes. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/08/live-a-life-you-dont-need-a-vacation-from

Fear of the Unknown
Our world is filled with fear. But we have no reason to fear the unknown when we focus on what is known – and that is, our God is a mighty and powerful God. Listen in as I talk about my very real struggle with fears and how God has replaced them with His truths. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/01/fear-of-the-unknown-ep-212/

A Path of Our Own: Homemaking, Homeschooling, and Self-Employment
Today I am sharing a bit of our journey and how God has led us to a path of homemaking, homeschooling, and self-employment. I have always lived with the idea that I wanted to make the most use of my time, and I wasn't working for a pension plan but for life now and for God. Come listen in, learn a bit about me, and see how some of these principles may apply in your own life, no matter what God has called you to do! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/03/11/a-path-of-our-own-homemaking-homeschooling-and-self-employment-ep-210/
