When God Establishes Leadership Pt 2

In this inspiring episode of Sit on that Stump in Muddy Bottom, Vikki Parker welcomes Dr. Terrence Farrier, founder of The Lamb's Plan, a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to providing safe housing, life skills, spiritual guidance, and long-term support for pregnant women facing crisis situations.

Dr. Farrier shares the remarkable story of how God called him to launch this ministry, the vision behind creating a maternity home where women can find stability, hope, and practical training, and why helping mothers thrive benefits entire communities.

Craft, The Beginning You 

What if the very first words spoken over a child could shape their identity for a lifetime?

In this inspiring episode of Sit on That Stump in Muddy Bottom, Vikki Parker sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and podcast host Lane Lawson-Craft to discuss her beautifully illustrated children's book, The Beginning of You. Together, they explore why a child's identity begins with God's truth—not the culture's opinions—and why those truths should be spoken over every child from the moment life begins.

Lane shares her personal testimony of how God restored her marriage, led her into ministry, and later inspired her to write a book that reminds children—and their parents—that every life is intentionally created, deeply loved, and filled with purpose. Vikki and Lane also discuss the incredible impact words have on children in the womb, the importance of intentionally speaking Scripture over the next generation, and how parents can establish a biblical foundation before the culture ever has a chance to redefine their children.

The conversation also highlights Lane's Love Before the First Breath initiative, an effort to place The Beginning of You into pregnancy centers across the nation so every mother facing an unexpected pregnancy receives a life-affirming message of hope.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, church leader, pregnancy center volunteer, or someone who simply believes every child is a gift from God, this episode will encourage you to speak life, truth, and purpose into the hearts of the next generation.
