In this second part of a two episode mini series… Ed and Amy are again invited as guests onto their own podcast to be on the other side of the conversation!

They’re joined by Jason, who is asking the questions from his own parenting journey. Is 5 yrs old too early to have a boyfriend? What is the right response when his daughter adopts the prayer position? And what do we do with our shame and failures?

These questions give Amy the chance to award Jason a certificate for excellent parenting and explains how NOT to be that parent who gets out the toys to role play every crisis situation in miniature. Ed shares how Colin Buchanan has less guilt and more adventures than him.

With a glorious mix of laughter, confusion and tenderness this is an episode for you if you are broken, baffled or just bored on the beach.

Jason is the Digital Lead at Faith in Kids, an ordained minister with the Elim Pentecostal Church, and co-host of The Parenting Tools Podcast.

There’s a storm brewing on the lake! But don’t worry. The animals and fish know it’s coming. Seriously! They can sense it. Well, according to Jam’s fun facts. But, more importantly, what will the disciples do? Actually, what’s EVEN more important is what Jesus does – and says – next. We find out what happens, as do Jessica and Abby in their wake on the lake! And another wonderful single from Dumbrocks: Who is a God Like You?

In this two-part episode of the Faith in Parents podcast, something a little different happens… Ed and Amy find themselves on the other side of the conversation!

They’re joined by Jason, who brings the real-time wonderings of a parent trying to figure it all out. How do we help our kids with friendships? What does it look like to talk about Jesus at home? And what do we do with the guilt when it feels like we’re not getting it right?

Across these two episodes, Ed and Amy reflect on their own parenting journeys — what’s been hard, what’s surprised them, and how they’ve kept going with Jesus through it all. It’s a conversation full of honesty, wisdom, and grace.

Expect encouragement, a few laughs, and a reminder that however it’s going, you are still God’s Plan A for your kids.

In this episode, Ed sits around the kitchen table with Tim and Hannah to ask: What’s it like to be a busy Christian parent?

Spoiler alert: It’s a bit overwhelming. And a bit joyful. And often both at once.

Tim and Hannah’s home is full - three kids, a Labrador, a Ukrainian house guest, an Airbnb, and 20 teenagers round every Sunday night. Life is busy, but this episode isn’t about burnout - it’s about how Jesus meets us in the middle of the chaos.

They share what it means to say no to good things, to fiercely guard Saturdays, and to prioritise what lasts: a relationship with Jesus. Tim reflects on the challenge of self-reliance, and how faith often feels distant - until God shows up in the unexpected moments, like a car ride or a chat at church.

From Bible times that fall apart to sticker-covered Bibles that suddenly work, it’s a reminder that we’re not failing parents just because we feel like we are - because God hasn’t let go of us, or our children.
