Movies.
I really like them.
And according to the billions of dollars Hollywood spends each year to make movies, I’m guessing a lot of you like movies, too.
In fact, if you are a mom reading, you may even look forward to the gathering of your little ones each week for “family movie night”.
But do you struggle, like I do to find movies everyone wants to watch? Or even a movie that will help you think more than lose brain cells?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could relax, enjoy a movie with your family AND teach your children more about God’s great big story?
Well, my good friend, Amanda White (OhAmanda.com)...who also likes movies and loves Jesus...and I want to help your family do just that.
In today’s episode entitled, “Family Movie Moms” we share a lot of our theories/philosophies about movies and... a new vision.
Our goal is to 1)write frequent family movie discussion guides 2) broadcast a regular feature on the GCM podcast, called “Family Movie Moms”. Each show will include current movies reviews and ideas/questions to help teach your kiddos how to see truth and gain discernment as they view entertainment.
In today’s episode we chat about (quite a few things):
- personal family screen time limits
- the effects of video games on our kids
- how much t.v. we watched when we were kids
- recording movies on our VCR & renting Beta tapes
- why we write family movie discussion guides
- thoughts on “The Lego Movie” & “Disney’s Pirate Fairy”
- being counter-cultural and yet engaging culture
- teaching our children discretion when watching shows (not to emulate everything they watch).
- thoughts on “How to Train your Dragon 2” & “Frozen”
- difference between watching a movie once & meditating on a movie

Relationships are tricky (major understatement).
I think today’s podcast with my pastor’s wife, Vela Tomba, will give us words & imagery to help alleviate some of the trickiness.
Vela has been married to Neil for 30 years, is the mom to three grown girls and grandmother to one adorable granddaughter. She served with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) before staying home full-time.
Last summer Vela guest posted a 3-part series on the concept of “Hula Hoop-o-logy” (read the series here)
Honestly? Her thoughts on this topic have helped all (absolutely all) my relationships.
In this episode we discuss:
- What it means to stay in your “hula hoop”
- Why we need to stay out of others’ hoops
- How to transition our children from our hoop (birth) to their own (jr. high-college)
- Physical hoop issues vs emotional hoop issues
- Whether or not it is a mom’s job to make her kids happy
- Interacting with husband in light of “hula hoop-o-logy”–reflective listening
- Handling a variety of relationships with this mindset–>adult children & their spouses; grandchildren; extended family
- Difference between hula-hoops and “Boundaries”
- A Christian’s responsibility to non-believers in relation to hoops
- Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru)
- “Boundaries” by Henry Cloud & John Townsend
- “Father of the Bride”
