  • EP 22 // Christian Mom - The Lie That’s Fueling Your Tween’s Anxiety

    How to help your anxious middle schooler anchor their identity in God instead of the voices around them.

    Download the➡ FREE ebook: Reclaim Your Role as a Godly Influence 

    Middle school is one of the most formative seasons in your child’s life. During these years, identity is shaped by the voices around them — friends, classmates, social media, and sometimes painful experiences like bullying or exclusion.

    In this episode of the Faith Mom Mentor podcast, Anne walks moms through a powerful lesson from Psalm 3 and shows how King David silenced the voices around him by anchoring his identity in God.

    If you’re noticing anxiety creeping into your tween’s heart, this episode will give you a simple spiritual shift you can begin teaching your child today. Anne shares three declarations David made in Psalm 3 and a short daily prayer your tween can say before they even get out of bed to ground their identity in truth instead of opinions.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why anxiety often begins with beliefs about identity
    • How negative voices shape your child’s confidence
    • The three powerful declarations David made in Psalm 3
    • How God becomes a shield around your child
    • Why identity in Christ protects your tween from shame
    • A simple 30-second morning practice to build faith and courage
    • One question every parent should ask their child before school

    If you are a mom navigating the middle school years, this conversation will help you guide your child toward steady faith, courage, and confidence rooted in God.

    • EP 21// Christian Motherhood - How Journaling Strengthens Connection and Faith in Your Tween

       

      If you are a Christian mom of a middle schooler, you may sometimes feel like your child is thinking deeply—but not letting you fully into those thoughts.

      Middle school is a season of growing emotions, shifting friendships, and identity questions. Your tween may be processing a lot internally but may not always know how to talk about it.

      In this episode, you’ll discover how one simple rhythm—journaling—can quietly build emotional maturity, strengthen connection, and help your tween’s faith become personal instead of borrowed.

      You’ll learn:

      • How journaling helps tweens process emotions safely
      • How it strengthens connection without forcing conversation
      • How writing Scripture helps faith move from hearing to believing

      Small, steady rhythms can shape your child’s thinking—and their faith—over time.

      Three Ways Journaling Helps Your Tween
      1. Builds Emotional Maturity
      2. Strengthens Connection
      3. Makes Faith Personal

       


      Start This Week

      Choose one journal.
      Sit down together.
      Write one entry.

      Start small. Stay steady.

      Simple rhythms practiced consistently can shape faith, maturity, and connection in your home.

    • EP 20 // Worship and Wisdom: How Psalm 1 Protects Your Family

       

      If you are a Christian mom of a middle schooler, you may feel like you are constantly guarding your child from loud, confusing voices.

      Friends. Media. Culture. Comparison.

      The question is not whether your child will be influenced.
      The question is who will shape their thinking.

      In this episode, Anne walks through Psalm 1 and reveals the simple biblical pathway to real spiritual protection in your home.

      Not control.
      Not fear.
      Not endless rules.

      Instead, Scripture shows how worship produces wisdom—and wisdom becomes protection.

      You will learn how to help your tween filter influences, strengthen spiritual stability in your home, and build a faith that grows through delight in God’s Word.

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode

      • Why spiritual formation is happening in your tween every day
      • The progression of influence described in Psalm 1
      • Why protection begins with delight, not restriction
      • How Scripture builds spiritual stability in your home
      • The difference between raising a rule-follower and raising a child who recognizes God's voice

      Key Scripture

      Psalm 1

      “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly…
      But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”

      A Simple Practice for This Week

      Read Psalm 1 aloud in your home and ask one question:

      “What voice is shaping us right now?”

      That one conversation can begin building spiritual awareness and wisdom in your family.

    • EP 19 // Build Courage in Your Tween Using Joshua Bible Study

      If you see fear growing in your middle schooler—comparison, hesitation, insecurity—this episode gives you a simple path forward.

      Courage isn’t built through big talks.
      It’s built through steady, daily rhythms.

      What You’ll Learn
      • Why courage is a pattern, not a personality trait

      • How identity forms in the tween years

      • A simple 10–15 minute framework to start this week

        Fear grows through repeated whispers.
        Courage grows through repeated truth.

        The Simple Framework
        1. Read a passage

        2. Ask a few questions

        3. Connect it to real life

        4. Add a small activity

          No pressure. Just consistency.

          Walking steadily through Joshua helps your tween see:

          • God keeps His promises

          • God fights for His people

          • God calls ordinary people to be brave

            Over time, she begins to believe:
            “God is with me. I don’t have to be afraid.”

            Key Takeaway

            Consistency over intensity.
            Ten minutes tonight. Stay steady.
            Your faithfulness is shaping her future.

          • EP 18// Christian Mom's Biblical Path to Raising a Wise & Discern­ing Tween

            What if wisdom doesn’t begin with more rules… but deeper reverence?

            In this episode, we explore how cultivating the fear of the Lord builds steady, biblical wisdom in your tween — from the inside out.

            If you want your child to stand firm when you are not around, this gives you a clear pathway:

            • Foundation

            • Framework

            • Fruit

              Moving from borrowed faith to personal conviction.

              The Inside-Out Process
              1️⃣ Foundation: Fear of the Lord

              “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” – Proverbs 9:10

              Biblical fear is reverent awe.

              When tweens fear people, they shrink.
              When they fear the Lord, they stabilize.

              Model reverence. Talk about God in daily life. Make worship visible. Awe becomes the soil where wisdom grows.

              2️⃣ Framework: Biblical Thinking

              Discernment is right vs. almost right.

              Give your tween a measuring stick — God’s Word.
              Shift the question from “Is this allowed?” to “Is this pleasing to the Lord?”

              Small daily spiritual rhythms build lasting identity.

              3️⃣ Fruit: Relational Wisdom

              As reverence and discernment grow, you’ll see:

              • Humility

              • Openness to counsel

              • Stronger friendships

                Create a home where restoration matters more than punishment. Model repentance. Connect your tween to wise community.

                Pulling It Together

                Foundation: Fear of the Lord
                Framework: Biblical thinking
                Fruit: Relational wisdom

                This is how you move your tween from:

                • Performance → conviction

                • Fear of people → fear of the Lord

                  And that’s what carries them when you are not there.

                      A Note to the Faith Mom

                      If you’ve been feeling unsure when you open your Bible, that is not failure—it may be an invitation. You don’t need to be an expert. You need to be present.
