As Christian moms, we want to love our middle schoolers well—but sometimes our questions can feel like pressure, correction, or interrogation. In this episode, Anne shares how biblical parenting questions can open the door to better conversations, stronger connection, and more emotional safety with your tween.

Using five powerful moments in Scripture, including God’s questions to Adam, Cain, Hagar, Elijah, and Jesus’ question to Bartimaeus, this episode shows how God uses questions to invite honesty, awareness, healing, and faith. You’ll learn how to ask better questions, listen longer, and practice connection before correction when your middle schooler is overwhelmed, angry, quiet, or hard to read.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How to help your tween open up without feeling pressured
✅ Why listening matters more than fixing in hard emotional moments
✅ Biblical examples of God asking questions with love and purpose
✅ Practical question swaps you can use with your middle schooler this week
✅ How Christian parenting can reflect God’s gentleness, patience, and care

Our mission here at The Faith Mom Mentor is to help Christian moms know God deeply, love their children faithfully, and build connection one conversation at a time.

#ChristianParenting #ParentingTweens #FaithMomMentor #Podmatch #ResilientKids

Faith mom, if you are parenting a middle schooler who is dealing with big feelings, anxiety, friendship struggles, school stress, emotional ups and downs, or identity questions, this conversation will encourage and equip you. In this episode of Faith Mom Mentor, Anne talks with licensed professional counselor and children’s author Jenny Hornby about Christian parenting tweens with connection, faith, emotional intelligence, and practical resilience-building tools.

Jenny shares how moms can help children process big feelings without dismissing their emotions, overcorrecting, or jumping into lecture mode too quickly. You’ll hear why connection before correction matters, how to notice signs your child may need extra support, what to do when your tween shuts down or melts down, and how faith-based parenting can help children understand that their emotions are real — but their emotions are not their identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What resilience really means for kids and tweens
✅ How to support an anxious child without rushing to fix everything
✅ Why “connection before correction” helps children feel safe enough to listen
✅ How to set limits when your child is emotional or disrespectful
✅ Simple ways to help kids name, process, and regulate big feelings
✅ How Made For This helps families talk about fear, courage, and resilience

In this episode, we talk about one of the hardest questions in Christian motherhood: how do we help our children understand death, grief, sorrow, and God’s goodness when painful things happen?

This episode is for Christian moms who want to guide their children through grief without relying on empty clichés. You’ll learn how to validate your child’s sorrow, explain death through the lens of God’s holiness, point them back to Genesis, sin, Jesus, and the hope of resurrection, and speak truth in a way that comforts without dismissing pain.

#SpiritLedMotherhood #ChristianMotherhood #ChristianMomEncouragement #FaithBasedParenting #MomsOfMiddleSchoolers

What does it really mean to practice Spirit-led motherhood when life feels overwhelming and out of control? In this encouraging conversation, Anne welcomes author, ministry leader, and communications professional Heather Day to discuss daily surrender, walking by the Spirit, and trusting God with your children, finances, weaknesses, and future.

Heather shares why surrender is not passive or weak. It means listening for God’s direction and faithfully taking the next right step. She also opens up about the pressure Christian moms feel to protect their children from every struggle, especially during the middle school years, and explains how trusting God can bring freedom from perfectionism, fear, and mom guilt.

This conversation offers practical Christian mom encouragement for creating open communication at home, surrounding children with godly mentors, apologizing when we fall short, and modeling authentic faith instead of pretend perfection. Heather also shares lessons from Moses, her family’s financial journey, and her book Money and Spirit: Surrendering Our Finances to the Work of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why surrender is different from passivity
• How to release the pressure to control every outcome
• What walking by the Spirit looks like in everyday motherhood
• How to support middle schoolers through difficult conversations
• Why godly community matters for moms and children
• How God works through weakness and inadequacy
• How to surrender financial fear and take the next right step
• Why authentic faith is more powerful than pretend perfection

Faith Mom Mentor encourages Christian moms to grow in their relationship with God, raise their children for His glory, and navigate motherhood with biblical truth, wisdom, and grace.

#ChristianParenting #RaisingMiddleSchoolers #BiblicalParenting #FaithBasedParenting #TeachingKidsHonesty

How can Christian parenting help a middle schooler choose honesty when telling the truth feels scary? In this episode, we examine Rahab’s story in the Book of Joshua and compare it with the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Both stories involve lying, but they reveal very different heart motives and provide powerful biblical parenting advice for families.

You’ll discover why the Bible celebrates Rahab’s faith without condoning dishonesty, what the scarlet cord teaches us about God’s grace, and how parents can help tweens recognize the fear, pride, self-protection, or misplaced loyalty behind their choices. This faith-based parenting conversation will help moms of middle schoolers move beyond simply correcting behavior and begin discipling the heart.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to talk with your child about lying and biblical honesty
• Why heart motives matter in Christian parenting
• The difference between Rahab’s faith and the hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira
• How to create a home where children feel safe telling the truth
• A practical question that helps middle schoolers examine their motives
• How grace can lead children toward confession, forgiveness, and integrity
• How a Joshua Bible study can spark meaningful family discipleship conversations

The next time your child is tempted to lie, ask, “What is your heart’s motive right now?” Then help them identify whether fear, pride, self-protection, or a desire to honor God is influencing their decision. Praise the courage it takes to confess, and remind them that God’s grace is bigger than their mistakes.

Our mission at Life and Peace Ministries and Faith Mom Mentor is to equip moms of middle schoolers with biblical encouragement and practical tools to disciple their children with confidence, strengthen family faith, and build homes rooted in God’s truth and grace.

#MomsOfMiddleSchoolers #ChristianMomEncouragement #ChristianMotherhood #GodlyMotherhood #Podmatch

Are you constantly tired, mentally foggy, emotionally drained, or struggling to be fully present for your family? In this conversation, Dr. Ginger Sharp shares practical, faith-filled insight for moms of middle schoolers who are experiencing brain fog, fatigue, burnout, poor sleep, body aches, or chronic overwhelm.

You’ll learn why ongoing exhaustion is not necessarily a character flaw or a sign that you are failing as a mother. Dr. Sharp explains how a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight can affect your energy, patience, emotional responses, sleep, relationships, and ability to have meaningful conversations with your middle schooler.

This episode offers Christian mom encouragement for women who feel guilty about slowing down or caring for themselves. Through the lens of Christian motherhood and godly motherhood, we discuss why caring for your health is not choosing yourself over your family. It can help you show up with greater patience, grace, wisdom, and presence.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize the difference between normal tiredness and deeper exhaustion
• Why rest may not feel restorative when your nervous system is overwhelmed
• How fight-or-flight can affect your parenting and relationships

Faith Mom, you are not weak, broken, or failing because you need support. Your worth is not measured by your productivity or how many roles you can carry at once. God created your body with purpose, and wise stewardship includes listening when your body is asking for care.

Our mission at Faith Mom Mentor and Life and Peace Ministries is to encourage and equip the Christian mom who is raising a middle schooler to seek God deeply, love her family faithfully, and become a godly influence during these important years.

In this episode, we are reviewing Faith That Sticks: 5 Real-Life Ways to Disciple Your Preteen and asking the honest question: Is this book worth it for Christian parenting, christian motherhood, and raising godly children in today’s world? If you are a faith-filled mom who wants to point your child to Jesus Christ but sometimes feels overwhelmed by motherhood struggles, mom guilt and anxiety, or the pressure to “do it all right,” this episode will encourage you.

We’ll walk through the five real-life discipleship building blocks from the book: family relationships, prayer, Bible reading, conversations, and service.

#HolySpirit #ChristianEmotionalHealing #SpiritualWarfare #FaithOverFear #PodMatch

What if anxiety, fear, emotional exhaustion, and the battle in your mind are not just mental health struggles, but signs of spiritual warfare? In this powerful Faith Mom Mentor conversation, Dr. Angela Thomas shares how Christian emotional healing begins when we surrender to the Holy Spirit, stand on the Bible, and learn to recognize the patterns, strongholds, and lies that keep us spiritually stuck.

This conversation explores healing prayer, prayer for anxiety, faith over fear, spiritual growth, trusting God in difficult times, and what it really means to put on the armor of God in everyday life. You’ll hear practical Bible teaching on renewing your mind, breaking spiritual strongholds, inviting the Holy Spirit into daily decisions, and learning how to stop worrying by growing in intimacy with Jesus Christ.
