Here is a framework for the letters we discussed in the episode→ messengerinternational.org/at-home-podcast-parent-kid-letter/

WOW. As a first-time expecting mom who didn't grow up in a Christ-centered family (and neither did my husband) but who has always DREAMED of raising a God-honoring family and building a generational legacy of faith, videos like this bless us more than you know. The transparency, honesty, respectful communication between parents + kids... plus your intentional practices of loving them and helping them know they are loved, rooted in their worth, identity, and God's truth... all of this is so priceless. And reading the free resource y'all provided (thank you for creating and sharing that!!) moves my heart - to hear that these beautiful letters have now become some of your kids' most prized treasures. Thank you Bevere family for giving so many of us inspiration + VISION for what is possible!!! 💗

Is anyone else crying!! 😭 like I’m crying for that mama because she’s trying to hold it together but I know as a mom she’s jumping for Jesus and weeping gratefully on the inside ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless this family

I am from argentina. I don' write very well in english, but I hope explain me. I am so happy to find this video. I have a little baby girl 8 month, and I hope to rise her in the fear of the Lord. Thanks God that I find this amazin video. Thanks for shere it. grettings from argentina.

The children.... their maturity, eloquence, peace, understanding of their emotions in difficult moments.... Unbelievable...

Wow. Your kids are so beautiful and gentle. Your son, in particular, is so wise for his age. What a credit they are to you.

"You are mine; you are loved; and I'm proud of you." Wow. .. Those are things I strives for so hard to hear from my dad. .. He actually bragged a lot about the "you are mine" part. Not in those words, but we are a large family, and Dad was proud of having 8 kids, and our parents goal was to raise us to be PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. .. It did seem merit-based, and Dad was not able to say the words "I love you." .. My dad started going to a different church a few years back, and the pastor taught on love languages and also about what children need from their parents. .. He grew up without knowing that he was loved or that his parents were proud of him. There was a lot of dysfunction, with a family heritage of alcoholic personality. .. It felt so nice for me to finally hear my dad say, "Even though you are not an accountant like your sister or (yada yada) or live in a nice house, you provide a valuable service to society." (I do home health.) .. Yes, it's still performance-based. But he's still alive... and GOD loves me no matter WHAT! .. Thank you for this message, because I need to always make sure I TELL my kids that I love them and I'm proud of them. And the "you are mine" is something I tell my husband. 😄 (just recently)

The correct way to raise this generation ❤Well done

As a mom to five kiddos, I love how much you interact with your kids and allow them to share their thoughts, even if they might be rooted more in feelings at this point in time. As believers, we can only continue to point our children to Jesus and the truth of Scripture and trust the Holy Spirit's work in their lives. Thank you for God-honoring content.

Oh these words are so good❤ i am a young mom of two boys and sometimes i would wish my husband will lead our family closer to God, and that our kids will know the words of God. Please pray for my family that God will touch my husband’s heart and mine to learn his way and to do the right thing for our boys. God bless everyone😇

Yall hold yall excitement well because I am over shouting with excitement and awe at how the kids are able and free to express themselves. This is amazing to see a glimpse of the intentionality of the work as parents that yall are putting into your children.

I needed this....I come from dysfunction. As a child...later on in life I went downhill into drugs on the streets lost my kids ...i met Jesus cleaned up got into housing got my kids back go married to my youngest dad and had another one. Now I'm breaking cycles but it's very hard ans some days I feel like my heart has walls and im not doing it right and I don't know how because I never learned and I want different for my family and thus just made me cry... I have gotten so much better but I want to go for all God has for me and my family... Bless u guys...im bawling right now...help me to be vulnerable lord.

I'm Greek and my mother has never been kind or warm towards me in a loving mother kind of way. I have three children with special needs and I can tell two of my children more easily that I love them and that I'm proud of them. My second is harder because of the damage my mum did but i have managed to tell her that I do love her. I never grew up in a family like that and i kind of envy anyone who did.

Hello guys, here is a person from Africa, Ethiopia. Your impact is surpassing continent. I have an 18mth son now. Your videos helps me to be hopeful of parenting in these difficult and end times. I can do all things through Jesus christ, who gives me strength. Amen! God bless you and your family.

My little girl is going to turn 10 in October. I'm so glad that I am watching this. What a beautiful tip. Thank you all for sharing.

So beautiful! Thanking God for your family!!! Beautiful God-loving children you have! God is praised!!!!!!!!!

I know you are very proud of your kids. Seeing how they speak explaining their side of things and the way watch them, i can see how proud you are of them.

This episode really touched me. I’m in awe of how you guys treat each other with respect, understanding, and kindness. Your kids are clearly loved, they are blessed to have you two as their parents! This is a very important topic today. I believe that most Christians don’t know their identity in Christ and devil is attacking our identity from every angle, that’s why there’s so much confusion and identity crisis. We as parents need to love our kids everyday, tell them that we love them, tell them that they are ours and that we’re proud of them. Our love should be unconditional, just like our Father’s love is for us. Thank you for uploading this profound conversation! ❤ God bless you all!

This is beautiful, hearing the perspective of children as well. With all the chaos present in the world and the way people abuse social media, putting all kinds of things out there... It's scary as a mom... The kind of world your child is coming into. I am an expecting mother, who also has another 3-year old... And this is a peace of hope... Hope you can raise kids in Christ and be hopeful of a good future

What a wonderfully Godly family. Your kids are such an inspiration. They are far more spiritually mature and honest than most Christian adults. They are truly great examples of children who are loved, proud of, and belonged to. You as parents have done a beautiful job of raising them up to be like Christ. You showed great respect by letting them say what they felt like saying and you patiently listened. it showed how proud you are of them and how much they are loved and cherished. Thank you for being an example of Christ's love. May all Christian families live out these truths, through Jesus Christ.

Sitting in the awe of God again… as my daughters about to turn ten in a couple of days and I’ve been praying to the Lord on how I can be a better mother and what I should do and how to do it. Thank you for making this video and other videos 🤍🕊️🤍

So true. Many children need to hear their parents saying those 3 phrases ("You are mine", "You are loved", "I am proud of you") to them more often. I hope more parents do this for their children so that they can grow up to be confident individuals who feel well loved. Till today I am thankful that I grew up in a Christian home and that my mum often say those phrases to us. She still praises us so often in front of others (my sisters and I are in our late 20's to early 30's) and we hug each other very often. My dad is not as good in expressing his feelings but we know he loves us through his actions. 😊

I am so thankful for you sharing your statements. We are a broken but building-up-&-moving forward family. My children have so many doubts in their world still, and they lean on God for being their Father. “You are mine” is key to giving our children a safe world.

Wow.What a beautiful moment with your children. And yes, letting your children know that you love them constantly is just as important as watering a flower plant. You can't just water it once and expect it to flourish throughout the year.

I have been praying daily for my children and for God to show me the way to parent them that would be pleasing to him. And I know I didn’t bump into this video by accident. Thank you Lord for being faithful, and thank you for allowing your children to speak and tell us what goes on in their head 🙏🏻🩵

I love how you bring your teens to the table and discuss the Bible. I was raised in a time where children were seen and not heard. You are loved❤️

I would LOVE a resource showing a good framework for speaking life into my children one day in the form of birthday letters! Thank you, Bevere fam, for this podcast-- truly SO helpful!

Man, I’m so impressed with the maturity and profound nature of these kids. I’m inspired to do all of these things with my kids. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. The kids sharing what the words personally did for them really touched my heart and helped me see where I can rise up as a mother. Thank you.

I would love to do this for my grandchildren and maybe pass this on to their parents maybe by the time they get their parents would be believers. Please pray for that

I’m so thankful for what your family is doing. It still gives me hope about the next generations

I feel am a terrible mom for not having a kid with this mentality. But I will get there by God's grace. God bless this family.

Yes, please do a template for your letter! That’s a great way to speak into their lives over and over again every time they read it. I wrote a letter to my 17-year-old this year on her birthday in my devotional journal. She lives across the states with her Bio mom, and when she came home for a visit I wrote another 3 pages for her to take on the plane and read on her way back home. Now I think every year I’m going to write her a letter on her Birthday! Thank you all for this video, it was really inspiring! And so cool to hear the teenage perspective. Thank you two too!

Your message is universally applicable to all kids and parents all over the world regardless of their religions.

I am entranced by the episodes with your children. They are precious, and so are you both. My favorite Bevere podcasts are with Addison and Julie alone and with your whole family. Thank you for loving your children so well.

"looking for validation in his brother's rejection"... i know this part wasn't even the point of this episode, but wow, this is so profound!!!!

Nice to have a podcast that I can listen to with my teenager, that has teens his age sharing their POV from a believers perspective.

Wow! I got so emotional listening to this episode especially since im in the season of raising 3 little boys this was so beautiful to listen to your kids prospective. It gives me so much hope that im raising my sons to love the Lord has much as I do. ❤ Thank you for all these amazing tips & discipling us from afar ❤

We as a parents would love a template for letter writing to your children on their birthdays.

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, thank you for sharing this video!!!

I watched a gentleman say it wasn’t that Jesus thought God abandoned him, but that Jesus knew he was going to spend three days away from Him. He never complained about physical pain or showed any type of anxiety about the physical but that it was solely focused on not getting to be with our father for those three days. When I watched it,it made perfect sense.

What an amazing video guys!!! I am certain God is doing His work of finding other families through you. Reaching out in this way - together with your own kids as witnesses of Your godly parenting - with tangible & super practical examples is truly precious! Oh, how every parent and child need to know that we are His, loved by Him and acknowledged by Him! This is the foudation God wants us all to stand on and with your sincere dedication and humble, graceful approach and with His Spirit leading the way - many will. I bless your home and ministry in the name of Jesus.

This is absolutely beautiful and so needed at this time.. I think these times we are living in our children need to hear other words other than, "I love you". These words are so much deeper.. Actually, I am a Gramma & like to know if you have anything for us.. So many kids do not have parents or maybe just single parents.. Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

You are mine, you are loved, & I'm proud of you....POWERFUL! 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾

That’s an awesome idea to write letters to your kids. Another idea I will put in my pocket

Good morning, people of GOD, Thank you. This is simply amazing!! and breathtakingly inspiring. Parenting is no joke. May GOD continually give you guys wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. May GOD bless you all. ❤

I'm in awe of your family. I have never experienced anything like this. What a family you are!!!

6:17 Waiting for that Template… I am adopting the Annual Letters

What a candid conversation, that was impactful to me as a mother and as a daughter to God my father. It reminded me how I belong to God, I am loved and God is pleased with me. I can passed it on to my 2 sons . Thank you!

I’m impressed by the content and will use the framework to write letters to my daughters but something else I’m so impressed by is this family’s willingness to let each other speak and truly listen! This is rare, even in podcasts.

I thank God that I stumbled into this. I have a 10 year old and a 8 year old. I am definitely going to do those letters

The smiles on your faces are so captivating, thanks for making the word a reality for my home to follow suit ❤

These kids are wise beyond their age! Walking right into grandparents and parents tracks! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree - or should I say in this case- from the orchard!

I really appreciate this video. It reminds me of what I am straining towards in my own family. It also showed me that I need to be determined and intentional about telling my children how much they are loved. Your son and daughter both gave incredible insight when they said that they need to hear they are loved especially when they have maybe done something wrong that they need to hear I love you again and again .... I take that deeply to heart ❤️ I can see where I have missed SO MANY "I love you's" with my children 😢 I am so thankful for this message. Thank you all.

These precious children. I love how sensitive they are to the spirit and how they just have such an open communication with their parents and just the way they think. ❤

Teared up many times listening to this convo - so beyond encouraged how you have discipled your children, the wisdom and self awareness and just how articulate they are - beyond precious and giving me such image of how I can raise my littles... THANK YOU. Honor yall

This is sooo good!! This also can apply to spouse!! My husband always says to me. I feel like I’m enough to say back to him..that’s Holy sprite spoke to me through you guy!! I told my husband right after I listen to this!! And I will continue to say every day to my husband and my kids ❤❤ Thank you so much!! Praise the Lord who teach us and show us our greatest example of Love❤🙌🙌

Amen Amen Amen, Thank You for sharing, teachings for families we that our children need to thrive in the Light of Christ, Awesome 🙏🙏🙏

Even when you discipline you still talk to your kids about it before and after. So that they still sense your love, just how God does for us. 🥰💜 I like to ask my 5yr old.... Are you going to Listen and Obey OR Listen and be disobedient? She responds. But if I need to discipline with "sad spoon" not my hand.... I don't do it as a reaction and grab anything around. I let her know what she did, and that her choice has consequences and then tell her what she getting. Like 3 pops or whatever. And then we hug and talk more about the next choices she should make, while I remind her how much I love her. 💜

I wish I could talk about my faith with such easiness as you guys. My son is almost two and I do start to wonder what I can do to show him God and learn to love him. I am catholic and my husband is protestant. We do respect our legacy fully, but he is not pro actively engaged in his faith, so I feel like the responsibility is more on me. I pray that I do this right, and by doing it right I could maybe strengthen faith of my husband.

So beautiful sharing.God Bless all of you 🙏🤝

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! It’s so important for us parents to have an idea of how our kids think. See this conversation at the table blessed me so much! Thank you again! God bless all of the Beveres 🙏❤️

What a blessing this family is. May the Lord continue to bless you and use your lives to bless others for His glory🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for this message. My daughter is about to turn 10yr and this is the best gift I can give her.

My heart is literally exploding with so much joy and awe. I really needed this and will apply it in my life and with my children

I strongly believe God will bless through you to many families. Hallelujah, Glory to God.

Messaging from Hertfordshire UK. I'm so very grateful to learn from this video. Most of what you shared I don't know and it inspired me to learn and want to share this in upbringing my children. Thank you very much for everything 🙏🌺🌺

God bless you all. It is amazing to see parents teaching the word of God in action and being a great role model. As a Bible teacher for kids this gives me a lot of wisdom. ❤

Ok why am I crying. I thank God our Fther and our Lord Jesus Christ for living through you all as a family. This is so impactful. I felt like your message was God's letter directed to me because I needed to hear and know that. ❤

Wow, it is so refreshing to see a healthy family where kids are respected and loved. Thanks you guys! Really enjoyed this. ❤

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing, love how your children are able to articulate the importance of hearing this. I am a teacher, and I am going to pray about how to use these for my students this upcoming year.

New subscribers here. That's how we are raising our kids too. This is such an inspiration to everyone. If all the families in the world put Jesus in the center of the family, everything, everyone will be just about kindness, love, joy, respect and obedience. Jesus loves us 🙏❤️❤️

I absolutely love this teaching/ Letters of Affirmation/ Speaking into and over our children...understanding the power of that words/ letters co.ing from a Father, How would you navigate or speak into the many many children unfortunately having to deal with absent Fathere, we thank God for the mothers & grandmother's who takes up this role, but we also know that there is a difference when it comes from a father then when it comes from a mother, not that it stops us( mothers & grandmothers) from saying/ speaking it to them

Wow What a wisdom the boy has!!!

Thank you for sharing the framework of the letter. Thank you for saying YES to God. May lives and families you are impacting. May God keep increasing you in every way 🙏🏽

Thanks for this video. It's really opened up a whole new perspective on child raising which is hard to implement especially if you grew up in a home where you did not receive affirmation. May God help us be better parents for His name's sake. God bless you. And you have great kids that think and talk maturely.❤

To see you interact and discuss with your kids is precious. So much so I am compelled to watch it with our oldest two children to spark discussion with them but also as a model and inspiration for us as a family, in so many ways e.g how you speak to one another, how you take following Jesus and the Bible so seriously and yet your children are still young. It makes me wonder whether you could film a ‘family resource’ and have you and your kids lead us through ‘something’ - faith questions; Bible study - and us follow along as a family. Just a thought from a pastors family in the U.K. Thank you so much!

Incredible! Your children speak so well and it is so awesome to hear there perspective on today's topic. Thank you for this episode.

I would love it if you included the scripture reference of God the Father giving these 3 affirmations to Jesus the Son. You listed John 12 only. I always enjoy going to the scriptures after listening to a podcast/video so I can read them myself and study on it.

Amen! This young man is a preacher already! You have done a wonderful job of raising your children in the Lord!

What a beautiful video! Watching this as a grandma and wishing you had a template for grandparents 😃

I love these episodes with your children! So inspiring and encouraging as a new mama

Wow… I have three boys ages 12, 8 and 7. This is really giving me amazing insight. Praise God for this family. Thank you

I would really love a framework for writing birthday letters to our kids - such a great idea! Thanks so much for all that you share!

This video was so beautiful! I am not a parent yet, so I felt like this healed something of the child in me. I would love to watch a whole video on the third point of being proud, because it’s so easy to fall into an achievement mindset where we don’t feel worthy unless we are productive or in some way successful

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with your kids. It has given me so much hope in a challenging season with my teens.

Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much. I feel so supported through your journey and willingness to share! Answered prayer. I want the Lord to prepare me for motherhood. It's definitely an impression I've had since a teenager, to build up a family, not get divorced and raise confident kids ready to impact the world with their love for God and others. I know this is family focused, but my request would be more content on the preparation for the family/marriage. I am currently dating and am trying to understand the most effective conversations to have before we consider marriage. Bible verses, discipline, educational systems, how to handle mis-takes, etc.. the Lord has blessed me with a God-fearing partner so far...what are the tips things dating couples, newly weds and beginner parents be praying about and discussing?

In my opinion I do believe it’s important to utter the words “I love you” but I’m from a country where it’s not common to utter such words especially parents to children, but in my experience my parents never uttered those words but never have I even for one second in my life doubted their love for me, they don’t say it but they show it to us and it’s so obvious, it is how personally involved they are in our lives. They take each of our issues so personal as though it was them, and they constantly tell us whatever you’re going through we going through it as well and we’ve actually seen this. I think beyond saying the words, if parents genuinely love their children the God way, it will be communicated in all their actions towards the children even through discipline.

I am not alone. I am loved by God. I remembered. Talking frankly between family is very important to build healthy relationships 😊

Oh my gosh! I love these kids! What great truths you have poured into them.

Thank you for the video, very eye opening. And you can tell that your children are insightful and able to express them self well which is an amazing achievement all on it’s on. One think I do think may be incorrect, is to say that Jesus had a moment of doubt, because that would be sin. And we all know Jesus was without sin….i believe the Father really had forsaken him in that moment…..Derek Prince explained it as, Jesus cried out ‘why have you forsaken me” because God really had forsaken him in that moment. Because God put all our sins on Him on the cross on that moment, that as he died he is dying as a sinner, and God had to turn from him as one who is a sinner, because the sins of us all where now on Him. Not that Jesus was doubting or tempted to doubt but he really was forsaken in that moment. Derek prince goes on to say that He believe ultimately Jesus died from a broken heart on that cross, because many had forsaken him but it was okay because the Father was with him, but when the Father had to turn his back on Him because of the Sin that was now out on Him, He felt it, and it was too much for him to bare, and He gave up the ghost, he didn’t fight to live. He quotes the scripture referring Pilate saying that he was surprised that Jesus was dead already…because normally people being crucified wouldn’t have died that quickly…… It just goes to show how much Jesus really went through for us. Even rejection……. Thank you for blessing us with this video, I will definitely apply some of what you have said and continue for grace to raise Godly children. God bless you

I would love a template of the letters! I am the first to raise children in a Christ-centered home. These conversations are so helpful and amazing to learn! My oldest is turning 10 next year!

Wow! They need to hear they are loved everyday ❤

You raises a really smart boy. His honesty amd self awareness for me. Your daughter is so sweet and sensitive. Really intelligent

YES!!! PLEASE create a template! My husband is still early in his firm walk with the Lord, and pretty busy with his work. It would mean so much to not just us, but our children, and even their next generations to come(not to be dramatic🤣), but we’re first gen, raising our children alongside the Lord!

What a powerful podcast! It’s my first (but now definitely not last) time watching/listening to you guys, and am at awe of the things I heard, observed, and felt while doing so. I already love you guys. So inspiring. Thank you for the preciosity of the experiences you shared with us. I want to model my family off of you guys, I loved it. Again, thank you. And congratulations for all the effort you guys put into your family, all of you.

For the last half of the video I was crying! Lord give us wisdom to instill your word into our kids like this. ❤🙏🏼

You guys knocked it out the ballpark again! Thank you for sharing and with your bright kids. Can you please share the scriptures where these three contexts are mentioned?

This was so good.. yall are doing a great job pouring into your kids. You can hear the wisdom flowing out of them! I have a 4,6,8, and10 year old kids. This is definitely 🔥. You can feel the peace and presence of God...

Glad I "stumbled" upon this show that moved me to tears. Watching from Brazil.

Oh my goodness, these kids are so precious. I LOVE THEM! God bless you!
