As a parent and former children's pastor, I've often grappled with weaving faith into the tapestry of everyday family life. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on that very journey, exploring how the season of Lent can be a profound time to reinforce faith foundations in our children. In a world where actions speak louder than words, I delve into the transformative power of aligning our deeds with our teachings, especially in the watchful eyes of our little ones. We share stories and offer advice on how to simplify parenting by naturally incorporating faith into daily routines, all while ensuring the consistent demonstration of the fruits of the spirit.

Mental well-being is uncharted territory for many families, but it's a path I've navigated with my child, Dylan, as we faced the storm of anxiety together. In this heart-to-heart, I open up about our personal struggles and triumphs, marrying counseling with the solace found in scripture. Our conversation extends to how we, as a family, practice our faith—beginning with morning devotions and extending through our day-to-day interactions. By sharing my experience as an educator and spiritual guide, I hope to illuminate the delicate balance of protecting our children's innocence while preparing them for life's challenges, all within a framework of faith.

The journey toward Christian perfection is an ongoing trek, not a destination, and it's one best shared with others. This episode celebrates the strength found in supportive communities and the rich, theological dialogue that nurtures faith within the family. I recount how tackling tough questions together can lead to a deeper understanding of our beliefs. We wrap up with a look back at the season's learnings and a celebration of the joyous bonds forged when a family's foundation is deeply rooted in faith. Join us for an episode that reaffirms the beauty of raising faithful children through conversation and shared experiences.
