  • Summary

  • Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

    1KHO 289: We Don't Have Forever | Jennie Lusko, The Fight to Flourish
    May 22 2024
    In this enriching episode of the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Jennie Lusko, author of The Fight to Flourish and pastor at Fresh Life Church in Montana. Since its inception in January 2007, Fresh Life Church has been a beacon of hope and inspiration for many, and Jennie’s journey is deeply intertwined with its growth and mission. Jennie shares her profound insights on navigating grief, embracing resilience, and cultivating a purposeful life. Drawing from her personal experiences, she beautifully articulates the importance of training for trials before they arrive, emphasizing that we don’t have forever to make an impact. Reflecting on motherhood, Jennie discusses the critical moments of pausing to consider the type of mother she wants to be, especially when faced with the fleeting nature of time with her children. She speaks candidly about her heartache and the poignant lessons learned from not having the opportunity to grow with her daughter, Lenya, who is in heaven. This profound reframe of parenting highlights the preciousness of each moment. Jennie’s wisdom extends to personal growth and relationships, where she addresses the futility of prickliness and the walls we build when hurt. Instead, she advocates for fighting to maintain a sweet spirit and fostering warmth that gathers people together. The conversation also delves into practical strategies for managing life's demands, such as planning seasons of rest and the importance of doing hard things to aid in healing. Jennie’s mantra of "running toward the roar" serves as a powerful reminder that facing challenges head-on strengthens us. Join Ginny and Jennie for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, practical advice, and uplifting encouragement. Whether you're seeking inspiration in your parenting journey or looking to deepen your resilience, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights to help you flourish amidst life’s battles. ** Learn more about Jennie here >> https://www.jennielusko.com/ Purchase a copy of Jennie's book here >> https://amzn.to/3wHmsHJ Get your tickets to the Movement conference here >> https://www.mvmnt24.com/ Come see Levi at FPEA!
