In this episode of the 'Healthy by Heather Brown' podcast, Heather is joined by Melissa Kruger, Vice President of Discipleship Programming at The Gospel Coalition who uses Biblical teachings, insights from developmental experts, and her personal experiences as a teacher and mother of three young adults to help guide parents on raising teens with a rock-solid faith in her new book Parenting with Hope: Raising Teens for Christ in a Secular Age.

Melissa has made the transition from raising three kids to adults, while learning and discovering how to make shifts in her parenting style. Like many parents experience, childhood transitions snuck up on Melissa, and she found limited resources to help guide her past the early years of mothering. Melissa shares insights from her new book, Parenting with Hope: Raising Teens for Christ in a Secular Age, and offers practical advice on maintaining open communication through intentional bonding, setting boundaries around technology and schedules, and creating a loving home environment. Melissa and Heather discuss the harmful effects of parents emphasizing performance over relationship and character as well as the idols that hold parents back from a more faith-filled home. The episode also touches on the importance of outdoor activities, understanding teen development, and the power of prayer. Heather and Melissa wrap up with an encouraging prayer and actionable tips for parents striving to nurture their children's faith.

Maybe you know what it’s like – your kid sees another kid at the store or in school that is different from them, and they don’t know how to act. They try to look at them out of the corner of their eye, maybe they giggle, or they loudly ask you what that thing is they sitting on and if they can get one. Sure, it’s embarrassing, but it’s in no way a reflection of your parenting. Rather than shushing your child and moving on like it never happened, you can take this as an opportunity to teach your children about inclusion. In this episode, we had a conversation with the infamous Laura Wifler, co-founder and executive director of Risen Motherhood. On top of producing content for Risen Motherhood, Laura is also an author of multiple books and creates resources for moms, kids, and families. Laura has a daughter with a rare genetic condition – in this episode, she shares some parenting tips to help teach children on how to react around others with disabilities, practice acceptance, and maybe even make a new friend! Enjoy! In this episode, we discuss:

• How to train your kids to act around children with disabilities – and find similarities instead!
• How inclusion has improved (or not improved) in church.
• Moving from tolerance to acceptance.
• How to have conversations about inclusion with your children with regard to the LGBTQ community.
• Why it’s important to have friends who are different from us.
• How Laura manages all the things in her life – because she is one busy lady!

Do you ever feel like you're racing against the clock, juggling motherhood, career, and personal aspirations? Our special guest Kari Kampakis, known for her thought-provoking books “Whose Approval Are You Living For?”, “Love Her Well,” and “More Than a Mom,” is here to share her own journey and wisdom on finding the balance in the midst of the chaos. Having started her writing journey with only 15 minutes a day while raising four daughters, Kari brings a treasure trove of insights to the table. Kari opens up about her trials and triumphs with parenting, particularly with her strong-willed child. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and affirming your child's unique personality before attempting correction. We also shed light on the crucial aspects of fostering stronger relationships, teaching healthy body image, and creating a safe space for open dialogue with our children. We also dive into the topic of prioritizing relationships amidst our busy schedules and the tricky decision of delaying kindergarten. Kari’s personal experiences provide a fresh perspective and valuable guidance. Get ready to rethink your approach to motherhood and be inspired to navigate your parenting journey with renewed wisdom and grace. In this episode, we discuss:

• Kari’s insights on raising children, emphasizing the importance of appreciating and understanding their unique personalities.
• Her personal experiences and how she learned that connection and affirmation can be more effective than strict correction.
