What Every Christian Parent Should Know About Education (Podcast 523)

When it comes to parenting, it’s such a comfort to know we can go to God and leave every hope and heartache we have at His feet and in His hands.
However this is not always easy, it takes practice and sometimes we need to be encouraged and equipped for this in order to become a more prayerful parent.
Parenting truly is an effective means to grow our prayer lives!

Why We are Here and How That Affects our Day to Day (Podcast 521)

Turmoil in the world can easily spark fear in moms as we try to nurture our families and cultivate life-giving home environments. We can feel anxious and scared, exhausted by the barrage of bad news and moral dilemmas. Today we want to talk about how to push back the darkness by creating sacred homes, places of joy, hope, and life through intentional habits.
