Christian Parenting.

As Christian parents, we all want to be praying for our kids, but knowing what to pray

can really be hard.

That's why Christian parenting created a great cloud of witnesses' prayer journal, is to help

busy parents, like you and and me intentionally pray for our kids

and their faith all year long. This weekly journal walks through the lives of faithful men and

women in scripture like Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, who trusted an extraordinary God. It helps you

to pray boldly for your kids, to follow in their footsteps, grow in character,

deepen their faith, and trust God's plan. And every Monday on this podcast right here,

on Part of the Mess, I will be praying with you through this very journal. So grab a group

of your friends, your mom friends, and y'all commit to this school year praying for your kids.

Hey friends, welcome back to Pardon the Mess. I'm your host, Courtney Defeo. How is everybody doing?

You know, one thing I haven't told you about the driving years, if you don't have a driver yet, 16, is it is the best.

Like, I really could get into having a chauffeur. Larson just drove me around. She had to get some stuff for camp, and I just love just being driven around. It's quite nice, something I didn't expect

enjoying about these driving years. We've got about one month until Ella leaves for college. She's

going to Auburn, and I'm super excited for her. I definitely have moments of just tearing us because it just won't feel the same without

her in the house every day.

But I'm truly so pumped when we went for orientation in June.

And I got to see so many of you, which was really fun.

You'll better always say hi when we're out in public.
